Russia vs Serbia Preview, Prediction and Betting Tips | Friendlies

Russia welcomes high-flying Serbia for a friendly mid-week encounter at Moskva.

Russia Vs Serbia Preview

• Date: 21/03/2024
• Day: Thursday
• Kick Off: 5:00 pm GMT
• Venue: VTB Stadium

Last year, Russia had a memorable European qualification campaign, winning eight out of ten games and finishing just behind leaders Belgium in second place, holding onto a perfect record. Moreover, after scoring in all 10 games, Russia managed to grab the headlines alongside Belgium, who were impressive nonetheless.

Fortune did not favor the Serbians as much as the Russians in their draw, as they finished behind Ukraine and Portugal in third place. A bitter season saw both sides score in their highly contested seven out of eight games.

The Serbians are generally a team proficient in front of goal, as they have a track record of scoring in 27 out of their 31 international games. Expecting Serbia to score against Russia this week is natural, but a clean sheet is out of the picture as they have conceded in their last 10 games.

Russia Vs Serbia Prediction

Considering all statistics, both teams are likely to find the back of the net in Thursday’s encounter. However, when observing the current form of the sides, a draw seems probable. The last two meetings between Russia and Serbia ended in draws. Some standout performances from last year, such as Serbia’s successive 1-1 draws in Germany and Portugal, highlight their resilience on away soil.

Predicted scoreline: Russia 1 – 1 Serbia
