Prediction: 1-3
England
Serbia and England go head to head at Veltins Arena (Gelsenkirchen) on Sunday evening in what will be their first meeting in a competitive match. The Eagles did well to crush Sweden 3-0 in their last warm-up game, but it has to be noted that Jon Dahl Tomasson rested several first-team regulars on Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s farewell to international football. The likes of Darko Lazovic, Strahinja Erakovic, and Dejan Joveljic have been omitted, but star players Aleksandar Mitrovic, Dusan Tadic, and Sergej Milinkovic-Savic are all fit to face the Three Lions.
England, on the other hand, suffered a shocking loss to Iceland in their last friendly, but you should know that Gareth Southgate mixed the squad. Real Madrid ace Jude Bellingham returns to the starting XI and seeing that Southgate is going to field the best possible side against Serbia, away win should be considered. The likes of Marcus Rashford, Jack Grealish, Harry Maguire, and Ben White have been omitted from the England EURO 2024 squad.
Highlighted Player (Harry Kane):
Widely regarded as one of England’s best strikers at the moment, Harry Kane enjoyed a meteoric rise at Tottenham Hotspur, scoring 21 Premier League goals during the 2014/2015 campaign to be voted PFA Young Player of the Year.
The highly rated striker went on to surpass that achievement the following season as he helped Tottenham Hotspur mount a serious title challenge for the first time in club’s recent history and he made seamless transition to international football. Kane scored four goals in his first ten appearances for England to prove he was here to stay and at the same time established himself as a first choice striker in Roy Hodgson’s squad ahead of the Euro 2016 finals.
Kane is a modern striker, who is extremely dangerous in the opposition box, but it was some outstanding goals from distance as well as link-up play with teammates that earned him an excellent reputation in world football. Kane is expected to lead both Tottenham and England in years to come, that is if he can resist the lure of top European clubs that continue to cast admiring glances his way.
Highlighted Team (Serbia):
Serbia have been playing as an independent nation since 2006. The Serbs made it to the 2010 FIFA World Cup finals and despite defeating star-studded Germany in the group stages of the showpiece tournament in South Africa, they eventually failed to book their place in the last 16. The Eagles, though, failed to qualify for the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil as they experienced all sorts of problems in their qualifying group.
A number of top-class footballers played for Serbia and former Manchester United defender Nemanja Vidic is regarded as one of the best players in the history of the Serbian national team. Vidic scored two goals in 56 appearances for Serbia and he announced his retirement from the national team on 24 October, 2011.
The Eagles play their home game at Stadion Rajko Mitic and it has to be noted that they defeated Czech Republic 3-1 in their first international game under the name of Serbia. Serbia play their home games in red shirts and red shorts, while the colour of their away kit is white.
