Serbia vs England Recent Results

Both teams had mixed results in their tune-up games last week. England easily handled Serbian neighbor Bosnia and Herzegovina 3-0 on June 3rd, but lost in stunning fashion to Iceland (1-0) at Wembley Stadium four days later. England controlled 64% of possession and fired 13 shots at goal but only one was on target in a truly lackluster offensive performance that featured about half of the starting lineup we’re likely to see on Sunday.

The loss to Iceland was England’s second defeat in its last four matches, having also fallen to Brazil 1-0 back in March. The downturn came as a surprise after England easily dispatched a tough Euro qualifying group that included Italy, Ukraine, North Macedonia, and Malta. The Three Lions posted an unbeaten 6-2-0 record in their eight qualifiers, finishing six points clear of second-place Italy with a +18 goal differential.

Bayern Munich striker Harry Kane had eight of England’s 22 goals in qualifying while Arsenal’s Bukayo Saka added four.

Last Five England Matches

Serbia played its best game in recent memory in its final tuneup, crushing Sweden 3-0 in Stockholm on June 8. That came on the heels of a tough 2-1 loss to Austria in Vienna when they conceded twice in the first 15 minutes.

Serbia punched its ticket to Euro 2024 with a runner-up finish in a lackluster Group G, finishing four points back of Hungary and three ahead of Montenegro.

Aleksandar Mitrovic led the team with five markers in qualifying and also tallied once in the win over Sweden. The longtime Fulham striker, who now plies his trade in the Saudi league is Serbia’s all-time leading goalscorer with 58 for his country, which is 37 more than any other player. (Dusan Tadic is second with 23.)

Eight of Serbia’s last ten matches have gone over 2.5 goals, including each of their last five Euro qualifiers. Each of their last six competitive fixtures saw both teams score at least one goal.
