England vs Serbia Prediction, Line-ups, Injuries, How to Watch and Team News

The quest for qualification to the coveted 2026 FIFA World Cup will continue with England welcoming the Serbian National Team at Wembley Stadium. The English have enjoyed a perfect run so far in the competition, with six wins from six. Serbia, on the other hand, has collected 10 points from the first three games and cannot afford to drop more points with just two games left.

England boss Thomas Tuchel will be glad with his work with the English contingent so far. Although there are some reasonable concerns over the performance levels, one cannot deny the six wins out of six in the qualifiers. The goal difference is also a promising one of 18. The remaining two fixtures will be a good opportunity to settle on a playing XI. Jude Bellingham will be back in the England setup. The midfielder has three goals and an assist in the last five games.

Mixed results and inconsistencies have marked the latest matches of the Serbia National Football Team. In the last six matches, the country has managed three victories to go with a draw and two defeats. With the talent at the national team's disposal, it will be a travesty not to see Serbia at the World Cup. The players will look to Aleksandr Mitrovic for inspiration, who has four goals in the qualifiers.
