Serbia take on the visitors Latvia in the round 1 match of UEFA Euro 2024 qualification. The match will be played on Friday, February 24th at Stadion Rajko Mitić (Belgrade).
Serbia have excellent prospects to visit the continental championship next year, as their qualifying group is quite simple. Hungary, Montenegro, Bulgaria, and Lithuania are their opponents, and Serbia needs to take either first or second place in the group, which is quite an achievable task. Although Serbia has not been to the European Championship for a long time, they have been more regular in qualifying for the World Cup. As for the upcoming match, the hosts are naturally favorites and should easily earn the first points in their qualification. The Lithuanian team has long been dead, and is absolutely not dangerous. In the previous 5 years, Serbia and Lithuania have met 4 times, and in all cases, the Balkan team emerged victorious, crushing the Baltic opponents twice. After an unsuccessful World Cup, Serbia will undoubtedly try to start the next qualification with confidence.

Lithuania are getting worse and worse every qualifying cycle. In their previous 10 matches (in various tournaments), they have only won once, and that victory was against San Marino. Yes, such times have come to Lithuanian football that only San Marino is within their abilities. The team is having difficulty scoring, and every goal scored by Lithuania is a struggle. And they are increasingly suffering heavy defeats. Last year they were destroyed by Turkey, not even one of the top teams, losing 0:6. Although this qualifying group does not include any particularly strong teams, Lithuania has no chance, and they will almost certainly lose regularly.
The bookmakers aren't even trying to create any kind of intrigue here, and are offering the Serbians a nearly zero coefficient. That's where you can consider a minus handicap bet on the hosts. In just a couple of goals, the Serbians will almost certainly be able to secure a victory here, and then we'll see how it goes. So, I'll stick with the bet option: Handicap (-2) on Serbia. At the very least, this option should pay off.
Prediction for the match: Serbia to win with -1.0 handicap.
