Serbia vs England predictions: Hosts aim to tame Lions in Belgrade
Serbia are unbeaten in their last seven matches
Serbia have kept clean sheets in each of their last five home games
Recommended bet: Serbia draw no bet
England have won their opening four World Cup qualifiers without any major scares but are facing the first big test of their campaign when coming up against Serbia in Belgrade on Tuesday evening.
Thomas Tuchel's side are at the halfway stage in Group K, but two of their final four matches are against the section's second seeds, who are equally determined to strive for top spot.
Serbia are five points worse off, having played one game less, but have not tasted defeat on home soil since a 2-1 reverse to Hungary in qualifying for Euro 2024.
Dragan Stojkovic's men were in the same group as England at Euro 2024, but were beaten 1-0 by the Three Lions in their tournament opener and fell short of reaching the knockout stages.

Team news
There are no fresh injuries reported by the hosts, who could stick with the bulk of the team responsible for Saturday's 1-0 victory away to Latvia.
However, an adjustment is expected in attack with all-time leading goalscorer Aleksandar Mitrovic primed to come back into the side.
England changes are expected to include recalls for Ezri Konsa, Morgan Rogers and Anthony Gordon.
Cole Palmer, Jude Bellngham and Bukayo Saka are key absentees and Adam Wharton and John Stones withdrew from the squad before Saturday's drab 2-0 victory over Andorra.

Prediction
Serbia have participated at the last two World Cup finals and can boost their hopes of automatic qualification for next summer's event by defeating England in Belgrade.
The Serbians are a no frills, rather cautious side with plenty of experience and physical strength, but those qualities may be enough to clinch a victory over England, who have looked unsure of themselves in the still relatively new Tuchel era.
Solid defence has underpinned Serbian progress with clean sheets kept in five successive games.
Therefore, if they manage to keep England at bay, that may give them the platform to secure a significant victory.
