EURO 2024: Serbia v England Preview and Best Bets

Pre-tournament favourites kick start their EURO 2024 campaign against Serbia in tonight's 8pm clash. The 2020 beaten finalists come into this tournament with superstar talent throughout their ranks and will be looking to go one step further this year.


It's been goals galore so far in Germany and this match should follow the same trend. Serbia have conceded in six of their last eight games, and with the attacking depth of England, it would be no shock to see a statement of intent from Harry Kane and company. Over 2.5 goals is available at around 10/11.


Serbia come into this tournament on the back of a 3-0 win over Sweden, a result which should fill them with confidence. Mitrovic, Vlahovic and Jovic will be at the core of any Serbian success this tournament, and although they failed to get out of their World Cup group, they did outscore everyone else, including Brazil. Mitrovic had 10 shots on target in qualifying, scoring 5. He is 8/11 to have 1 or more shot on target and 7/2 to have 2 or more shots on target.


It is still a mystery as to how Southgate will set up his squad this evening, however captain Harry Kane will be leading the line-up regardless of who plays behind him. Kane had an average of 1.64 shots on target in qualifying and accounted for around 25% of all efforts for England. Kane is 4/5 to have over 1.5 shots on target.


Serbia come into EURO 2024 with the 6th highest foul rate per match, and in a game where England should dominate possession, we can expect more of the same tonight. With Harry Kane likely to drop in to receive the ball to feet, we expect a few crunching tackles to be left in on the England striker. Kane has been fouled at least once in 11 of his last 12 competitive outings. Kane is 1/4 to be fouled 1 or more times and 5/4 to be fouled two or more times.


We recommend waiting for team news before placing any bet. Here our are selections:

  • Over 2.5 goals 10/11

  • Mitrovic over 0.5 SoT 8/11

  • Mitrovic over 1.5 SoT 7/2
