- Score prediction: England 3-0 Serbia
England have started all three of their major international tournaments under Southgate with victories, the most important being a 6-2 victory over Iran at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
While Serbia were considered the dark horse for that tournament two years ago, the depth of England’s squad should prove too strong for Dragan Stojkovic’s side.
