Serbia vs England Player Focus
Serbia certainly have the attacking players to hurt this vulnerable England defence in the opening match in Group C.
However, their main attacking outlet will be a familiar face for fans of the Premier League, with Aleksandar Mitrović likely to lead the line. The 29-year-old has a prolific record for his national side after netting 57 in 90 appearances. At the same time, he comes into the tournament following a stunning first season in the Saudi Pro League, scoring 40 goals in 43 matches.

England’s talent in the final third will give Gareth Southgate major headaches before the opening game. Phil Foden is yet to produce the same consistent run of performances for the Three Lions as he has for Man City, and there will be a desperate need for him to hit the ground running in Germany. Foden comes into the EUROs this year following his best campaign for City, winning the Player of the Season accolade after netting 27 goals in 52 matches across all competitions.
Serbia vs England Tactical Analysis
England’s excellent quality in the final third means that it won’t be uncommon for teams to set up defensively against them during the EUROs this summer.
The Three Lions encountered issues in breaking down a resolute defence in their warm-up match against Bosnia (3-0). Still, it is worth mentioning that they were without influential stars such as Foden, Jude Bellingham, and Bukayo Saka in that match.
But the defeat to Iceland came as a real shock to England fans.

Serbia, on the other hand, is more than just a solid defensive unit; they have the attacking players to spring into action at the opposite end of the field. Mitrović has been clinical throughout the Saudi Pro League this term, and an early goal could make this a very awkward test for the Three Lions.
Serbia vs England Prediction
- Football pick: England To Win
- Odds: 1.45 (22bet)
- Score prediction: Serbia 0-2 England
There will be huge pressure on Gareth Southgate this summer, and he can ill-afford a slow start to the tournament in Germany. England’s strong squad depth will be a factor throughout the group stage, especially considering they will come up against low-block teams.
It may be a nervy opening night for the Three Lions, but we fully expect them to get over the line to open with a win, just as they have in every major competition under their current coach.
Serbia vs England Betting Tip
- Football Pick: Harry Kane To Score
- Odds: 1.85 (22bet)
This will be a big summer for Harry Kane, as he could put himself in the frame for the Ballon d’Or. Kane has been the main man for the Three Lions throughout his international career, having already netted a record 63 goals.
The striker comes into the tournament in red-hot form after bagging 44 goals in 45 matches for Bayern Munich in 2023-24. We expect him to prove to be the difference-maker once again.
