England take on the visitors Serbia in a World Cup 2026 qualification match. The match will be played on Thursday, November 13th at Wembley Stadium (London).
England ended one of the most successful chapters in their history just over a year ago — Southgate stepped down. However, both of his European Championship finals ended in defeat. After that, England decided once again to trust a foreign manager, though one well-acquainted with British football — former Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel. So far under Tuchel, there has been only one slip-up, against Senegal, and that was just a friendly. Moreover, all other matches have been won — and without conceding. As a result, the team secured first place in the group as early as October. Tuchel’s England look stable and well-organized, showing a mix of discipline and flexibility. Given their recent dominance, the coach might now take this opportunity to test tactical variations and give playing time to those who have had fewer minutes.

Serbia got a new head coach. The Eagles had long been under the guidance of Stojković, whose tenure produced mixed results — little success at the World Cup or the Euros. On the other hand, his side regularly qualified for such tournaments and performed decently in the Nations League. But “Pixi” stepped down after a poor autumn run — a 0-5 loss to England at home and a 0-1 defeat to Albania in October. As a result, their main rivals overtook them for second place, and if they win the parallel match, Serbia’s playoff hopes will end. The new coach, Veljko Paunović, who recently guided Oviedo to promotion to La Liga before being dismissed in October, will aim to deliver a surprise. Despite recent instability, Serbia has shown fighting spirit in away matches, and their motivation should be sky-high against a team that has already secured qualification.
Before the thrashing in this qualification campaign, the Three Lions had also beaten the Serbs at last year’s Euros — but that time it was a pragmatic 1-0. The hosts are clear favorites, but that gives the visitors a chance. It’s worth backing Serbia with a handicap of +1.5 goals.
Prediction for the match: Serbia to win with +1.5 handicap.
