Can England get off to a winning start?

Serbia v England

Euro 2024 is set to launch into action and England kick off their campaign in Group C against Serbia.

The Three Lions head to Germany as Paddy Power’s favourites to win the competition after suffering heartbreak in the final three years ago.

Gareth Southgate has an endless array of talent to choose from and recently confirmed his final 26-man squad for the tournament with several big names left out.

On paper, their group is relatively straight forward and it begins with a clash against Aleksandar Mitrovic’s Serbia in Gelsenkirchen.

It will be the first time that England have faced the nation in a men’s senior match, although they did play the former Serbia and Montenegro in an international friendly back in 2003.

Serbia v England team news

The big surprise omission for the Three Lions is Harry Maguire, who was left out of the final 26-man squad after failing to overcome a calf injury.

There are also questions about who will start where given the many options that Southgate has at his disposal, with Bukayo Saka a fitness doubt.

Serbia offer many threats going forward with  Aleksandar Mitrovic, Dušan Vlahovic and Luka Jovic all capable of hurting England.

Fulham midfielder Sasa Lukic will be a familiar face to Premier League fans as well as former Southampton playmaker Dusan Tadic.

Predicted England XI: Pickford; Walker, Stones, Guehi, Trippier; Rice, Alexander-Arnold; Foden, Bellingham, Saka; Kane

Predicted Serbia XI: V. Milinkovic-Savic; Milenkovic, Pavlovic, Babic; Zivkovic, Lukic, Mijailovic, Kostic; S. Mikinkovic-Savic, Tadic; Mitrovic.

Serbia v England previous results

This is the first time that the sides will meet in a men’s senior professional game. However, England did face the former Serbia and Montenegro when the Three Lions ran out 2-1 winners in 2003.

Serbia v England prediction

Crouchy: Historically the opening games are always tight, they’re always a bit cagey.

Hopefully England can go out there and put on a show but quite often that’s not the case and I think this will be a tough game.

I think it might be one goal either way and I can see both teams scoring but I fancy England to Win 2-1.
