England vs Serbia Prediction
The 2026 FIFA World Cup European qualifying Group K fixture between England and Serbia will take place on Thursday, 13 November 2025 at 10:45 PM (GMT+3) at Wembley Stadium. This encounter carries significant weight for both sides: England top the group with 18 points from six matches and an immaculate defensive record, while Serbia sit third on 10 points and will travel to Wembley with realistic hopes of causing an upset. The previous competitive meeting between the sides ended in a commanding 5:0 victory for England away from home, a result that sets the historical tone for this meeting. England arrive off the back of a convincing 5:0 win in Latvia, while Serbia’s most recent outing produced a 3:1 victory over Andorra.

Main Betting Tip: HC -1 England Win
England have demonstrated outstanding form in this qualifying campaign: six wins from six, 18 goals scored and none conceded, including a perfect home record (3 wins, 0 draws, 0 defeats). Their combination of attacking potency and defensive organisation under manager Gareth Southgate gives them a clear edge. Serbia, managed by Dragan Stojković, remains a competent and occasionally dangerous opponent, particularly away from home, but they have dropped points and conceded goals in this group. The best available quoted odds for a Handicap -1 England win is 1.44 at Melbet, making this selection the logical main play for bettors.
Betting Tip 2: Both teams score? No
Our second betting tip anticipates that both teams will not score in the match (Both teams score? No). England’s defence has been impenetrable in qualifying to date (18:0) and their organised back line and disciplined midfield structure make a clean sheet a realistic prospect. Serbia have shown greater scoring inconsistency across the campaign, and while they have an undefeated away record in group play, they average relatively modest goals for the competition compared to England. Given England’s defensive record and the likely tactical approach to limit Serbia’s opportunities, the “No” selection appears to offer sound value. The best quoted odd for Both teams NOT to score is 1.63 at Betwinner.
Betting Tip 3: Correct Score 2-0
Correct score prediction: 2:0 to England. This selection reconciles two competing dynamics: England’s defensive strength and their capacity to net multiple goals. A 2:0 home victory acknowledges Serbia’s quality and potential to limit the margin while still reflecting England’s greater probability of scoring more than once. It is a conservative, yet realistic, fixed-score forecast aligned with the match context and recent trends. Bettors are advised to check Betwinner for the most competitive correct-score odds, as the precise quote for 2:0 was not provided in the supplied data.

Serbia team news!
Manager: Dragan Stojković. Serbia occupy third place in Group K on 10 points, with a record of 3 wins, 1 draw and 2 defeats and an aggregate goals record of 7:7. Notably, their away record in qualifying reads 2 wins, 1 draw and 0 defeats, indicating a degree of resilience on the road. In the most recent run of form across all competitions Serbia have registered three wins and two defeats in their last five games, producing a mixed but capable side that can be disciplined under Stojković’s direction. Serbia will likely approach Wembley with a pragmatic game plan seeking to frustrate England and exploit counter-attacking opportunities.
H2H statistics
The head-to-head record between England and Serbia (last two meetings, all competitions) is dominated by England: 2 wins for England, 0 draws, 0 wins for Serbia. The most recent direct meeting resulted in a 5:0 away victory for England. That emphatic result remains a psychological and statistical reference point heading into this fixture and underlines England’s historical superiority in these recent encounters.
Last results England
In their last five matches across all competitions, England have recorded 4 wins, 0 draws and 1 defeat. The current form indicates a team that is largely successful, with an overall momentum that is positive and confidence that is high going into this qualifier. The single defeat in that five-match window offers a reminder of potential vulnerabilities, but the general trend is strongly in England’s favour.
Last results Serbia
Serbia’s last five matches across all competitions have produced 3 wins, 0 draws and 2 defeats. Their form can be characterised as mixed: capable of strong performances and victories but also vulnerable to setbacks. That variability will inform their strategy at Wembley, likely encouraging a cautious, organised approach that aims to minimise England’s attacking freedom.

Conclusion
On balance, England are clear favourites for this World Cup qualifying fixture at Wembley. Their perfect record in Group K, superior goal differential, home advantage and recent convincing results combine to make them the logical pick. Serbia is a disciplined and dangerous opponent when organised under Dragan Stojković, with a respectable away record, but they will face a stern defensive challenge against an England side that has yet to concede in qualification. Our consolidated view: Handicap -1 England to win (main tip), Both teams not to score (secondary tip), and a most likely correct score of 2:0 in favour of England.
