England vs Serbia Predictions, Betting Tips & Match Preview

Joe Vaughan 03 Mar 2026
  • England are safely through to the 2026 World Cup as Group K winners and they will be aiming to maintain their 100 per cent record when taking on third-placed Serbia at Wembley.

    The battle to secure places in Thomas Tuchel’s World Cup squad has already begun and there will be lots of players aiming to impress, including high-profile duo Jude Bellingham and Phil Foden, who are back in the group after missing out in recent months.

    While England look ahead to next summer, Serbia are engaged in a desperate battle to keep their qualification hopes alive.

    The Balkan nation have two matches left to play and need to overturn a one-point gap between themselves and second-placed Albania.

    They will be hoping for a positive start to life under their new manager, Veljko Paunovic, who was chosen to replace Dejan Stoijkovic on the touchline.

England vs Serbia Tips

Our Tip Methodology

At FootballTips, every prediction is shaped by a mix of data-driven analysis and informed football insight. Our contributors consider a wide range of factors before recommending a bet – from recent form and head-to-head records to tactical matchups, team news, and underlying stats.

We look for patterns in goal trends, home and away splits, player performance, and betting market movement to identify where the value lies. We don’t just tip favourites – we aim to find selections that offer a genuine edge. Whether it’s a goalscorer angle, a BTTS trend, or a high-priced underdog, each tip is backed by research and reasoning to help you bet smarter.

Why We’re Backing England -1 Handicap @ 19/20 with William Hill

  • England cruised to a 5-0 success away to Serbia a little over a month ago and they should complete a quickfire double with another wide-margin victory.
  • There is much more riding on the outcome for Serbia, who will probably need to avoid defeat to stay in the hunt for a top two finish.
  • The gap between second-placed Albania and third-placed Serbia stands at just one point, but the matchday seven fixture list favours the Albanians, who are red-hot favourites to win away to basement boys Andorra.
  • Serbia must approach the game with a mindset of achieving more than mere damage limitation, but if they open up against England they could leave themselves horribly exposed.
  • England are at their best when given space to exploit and there should be no lack of motivation from Tuchel’s players, who will be anxious to solidify their place in the German’s World Cup plans.
  • The Three Lions should be fired up to impress and they look a solid wager to win by at least two goals.

Why We’re Backing Jude Bellingham to Score Anytime @ 5/2 with BOYLE Sports

  • Bellingham was surprisingly left out of England’s October squad, but he has returned to form and fitness for Real Madrid and will be anxious to show Three Lions’ fans what they have been missing.
  • Bellingham may be out to prove a point and has every chance of scoring his first international goal of 2025.

England Form/Stats

  • England have scored 18 goals across qualifying while conceding none. They are among three European nations – alongside Spain and Switzerland – to have kept clean sheets in all of their matches on the road to the 2026 World Cup.
  • Jude Bellingham has scored in three of his last five appearances for Real Madrid.
  • England have registered three 5-0 victories among their last seven competitive fixtures.

Serbia Form/Stats

  • Serbia had gone seven games without defeat until they lost 5-0 at home to England last month.
  • The Serbians have conceded the opening goal in each of their last three fixtures.

Player to Watch

Bellingham has scored just six goals in 44 appearances for England, but the best is yet to come from him on the international stage.

He has been getting back to his best in Real Madrid colours and may be ready to deliver a big performance under the famous arch.
