Serbia vs England 13/5 Bet Builder – Tipster Wizard
After a routine victory at home to Andorra on Saturday, Thomas Tuchel’s England side face a much sterner test away to Serbia on Tuesday night. Tipster Wizard picks out a Bet Builder for the key qualifier, as the Three Lions look to make it five wins from five in World Cup qualification.
Match Goals – Under 2.5 Goals
Serbia have seen fewer than 3 goals in 12 of their last 14 competitive fixtures, with this selection landing with a huge 86% hit rate. As for England, they've seen this selection land in 3/4 of their World Cup qualifiers, with the exception being the game against lowly opposition Latvia, where Tuchel's men won 3-0. The last time these two sides came up against each other was last year in the EUROs, with England winning 1-0 in another low scoring affair.
Match Goals – Both teams to score: No
Both teams have failed to score in 10 of Serbia's last 12 competitive games while England have seen this selection land in their last 6/6 competitive games. Since Tuchel has taken over, England have transformed into a much more resolute defensive unit, although that can sometimes affect their ability to go forward. This selection also landed the last time these two came up against each other.
1st Half Result – Draw
With two sides going up against each other who have been involved in a lot of low scoring games recently, I expect a cagey first half with not a lot of clear-cut goalscoring opportunities. With England defensively strong and not as efficient going forward, we could be in for a boring 1st half without much goalmouth action.
