Serbia hosts Ireland in round 1 of the World Cup Qualification. The match will be played on Wednesday, March 24th at Stadion Rajko Mitić (Belgrade)
The Serbian national team has a lot of strong players, which did not help to get to Euro 2021. The Serbs lost to Scotland on penalties in the Nations League playoff finals, where a ticket to the final part of the mentioned Euro was at stake. They were also not impressive in the last Nations League draw, where they fought in Division B. The Serbs became the third in the quartet, outranking Turkey only in additional indicators, and Hungary and Russia were higher. As for the World Cup Qualification, Serbia must be at least second and try to offer battle to the Portuguese.

Ireland is known as a strong-willed, boring, and unyielding team. The Greens play as simply as possible and create chances mainly after set pieces. Moreover, there are no big stars in the lineup. And the Irish have not scored in seven matches in a row, which is very bad for a team of this level. In the League of Nations, the Greens played in Division B and scored only three points. And they outranked the Bulgarians by only one point, which allowed them not to drop to Division C.
The opponents have crossed paths five times in history. The Serbs gained two victories, and the other three games ended in a draw. However, there were only two official matches in the qualification for the 2018 World Cup. Then the Serbs tied at home (2-2) and managed to win away (0-1). Serbia was able to win the group in those qualifiers, and the Irish finished second. It will be a tough battle between two opponents who will most likely fight for the second place in the group. Serbia is the favorite of the upcoming game, but defeating the Irish is not an easy task. We offer to bet on Under 2.5 goals scored, as the visitors will certainly try to shut out.
Prediction for the match: Under 2.5 goals scored
