Serbia vs England Betting Tips
Why We’re Backing Draw & both teams to score @ 4/1 with bet365
Requiring a Christian Garcia own goal and a Declan Rice header to battle past Andorra at Villa Park on Saturday, it was far from a convincing display from England in the West Midlands.
A much sterner test awaits the Three Lions in Belgrade, against a Serbian side who are yet to taste defeat in Group K.
England have not produced the attacking performances required to come away from Rajko Mitic Stadium with the win and Tuchel’s men might have to settle for just a point on Tuesday with both sides capable of getting on the scoresheet.
Why We’re Backing Harry Kane anytime goalscorer @ 5/4 with bet365
Lining up once again as England’s central striker in Belgrade, Harry Kane looks strong value in the anytime goalscorer market for this clash.
With 73 goals in 107 international appearances, the 32-year-old has long been England’s most dependable finisher, consistently delivering on the biggest stages.
Kane has also started the Bundesliga campaign in fine form with Bayern Munich, netting three times in his opening two fixtures while adding a pair of assists to underline his all-round influence.
Expected to spearhead the attack on Tuesday night, the England captain will fancy his chances of translating that sharpness onto the international stage with another goalscoring display in Belgrade.

Player to Watch
Fresh from his move from Saudi side Al Hilal to Qatari outfit Al Rayyan, Serbia striker Aleksandar Mitrovic will be eager to make his mark when he comes up against several familiar England opponents this week.
The former Newcastle United and Fulham frontman boasts an outstanding international record, with the 30-year-old standing as Serbia’s all-time leading scorer thanks to 62 goals in 101 appearances.
Well known to Premier League defenders, Mitrovic’s game is built around physicality and relentless competitiveness, traits that have defined his career at both club and country level.
Having picked up 22 yellow cards in his international career to date, expect Mitrovic to be in the thick of the action with or without the ball on Tuesday.
