The Three Lions have already made their usual progression to yet another FIFA World Cup during the previous international break. Still, they will look to continue their 100% record when they host Serbia at Wembley.
England's 5-0 win away from home in Latvia confirmed their place at the World Cup, and, in general, their form under Thomas Tuchel has been magnificent, despite persistent calls for more consistent attacking displays. The Three Lions have won all six of their qualification games, having scored 18 and conceded precisely none.
England's display against Serbia in the reverse fixture should give the Three Lions enough quality and confidence, given the fact that the home side for this fixture recorded an excellent 5-0 win in Belgrade back in September. The Three Lions have a remarkable record in qualifying, as they are unbeaten in their last 37 qualifying matches since a defeat to Ukraine away from home in 2009.
As for Serbia, their qualification hopes are set to end in this fixture. The visitors will have to achieve a win against the Three Lions to stand a chance on the final matchday, as currently they are one point behind second-placed Albania. The issue that presents itself for Serbia is their defensive problems, which have seen them fail to keep a clean sheet in their previous three matches. This is unlikely to change against an England side that has scored first in each of their last 10 games.
Goals will be expected in this fixture, as Over 2.5 goals have been scored in four of the last five matches involving England. So with that being said, we are predicting a 3-0 for the Three Lions at Wembley on Thursday.
England 3-0 Serbia
