The second kick-off in Group C, features Serbia, with their first qualification to the Euros since 2000 where they made it through to the Quarter Finals, face off against England, who will be looking to overcome their 2020 Euros Final defeat and bring home their first International trophy since their World Cup win in 1966. Despite the ‘Orlovi’ losing just 2 of their group games, their recent 4-0 friendly loss to Russia will likely be playing in their heads, whereas the ‘Three Lions’ will be buoyed by their undefeated qualifiers, overseeing a double against Italy and a 7-0 drubbing of North Macedonia. As the two meet for the first time since 2003, let’s have a look at what the Serbia vs England odds say as to who should come out on top.
A review of the Euro 2024 betting odds, according to BetVictor at the time of writing, see Serbia drift from 5/1 to 6/1* over recent weeks, where a £10 wager would pay £70, while England are clear favourites at 4/9*, meaning a £10 bet would return just £14.44 if correct. For those who think it may end up a draw, the current market has odds of 16/5, so £10 staked would pay out £42. While England were always likely to dominate the odds based on their recent Euros performances, Serbia are unlikely to roll over and will do their best to ensure that 3 points won’t be easy to achieve.
While Serbia’s coach, Dragan Stojković will look to his captain, Dušan Tadić, the country’s most capped player, drive his team forwards with the help vice-captain and the country’s leading goalscorer, Aleksandar Mitrović, England’s coach Gareth Southgate, will be trying to distance himself from the recent Manchester United job rumours and focus on the task at hand, with the help of captain and the country’s top goalscorer, Harry Kane, alongside vice-captain Jordan Henderson. While a recent injury issue could make England sweat on their captain’s condition, we predict that they will edge it on the day, although may struggle to keep a clean sheet if Mitrović is in good form.
