Prediction: 1-3
Serbia
Following a shocking 2-1 loss to Hungary, Serbia will look to return to winning ways in Group G when they take on Lithuania in Kaunas on Sunday evening. This game is of big importance for the Eagles as their neighbours Montenegro are breathing down their neck and we are positive that they will go all guns blazing at Edgaras Jankauskas’ troops. PAOK winger Andrija Zivkovic is widely expected to return to the starting XI, as well as Fiorentina centre-back Nikola Milenkovic.
The hosts, on the other hand, saved one point from the match against Montenegro, with substitute Fedor Cernych scoring a late equalizer. The AEL Limassol should be recalled to the starting line-up, while there are no fresh injury worries in the home team. Anyhow, we predict that Serbia stars Dusan Tadic, Aleksandar Mitrovic, and Sergej Milinkovic-Savic are going to prove their worth on the field this time out.
Highlighted Player (Predrag Rajkovic):
Predrag Rajkovic is a professional footballer who plays for Stade Reims and the Serbian National team. Born on the 31st of October, 1995, the Serbian goalkeeper spent his youth career with Hajduk Velijko and Jagodina before signing a professional contract, his first, with the latter in 2012.
His first professional appearance came on the 9th of March, 2013, in a Serbian Superliga match against Partizan. A two-year stint at Red Star Belgrade succeeded Rajkovic's time at Jagodina, after which he moved to Israel to join Maccabi Tel Aviv in 2015. At Aviv, the six-foot-tall established himself as a first-team regular, and in his four-year spell at the club, he made 192 appearances, kept 90 clean sheets and won the Toto Cup.
The 24-year old now plays in Ligue one with Stade Reims and is on a contract that expires in 2023. At the International level, Rajkovic is a former youth international and has capped at every youth level for Serbia. He made his senior team debut meanwhile on the 14th of August, 2013, in a friendly match against Colombia.
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.
