📂 England v Serbia Cheat Sheet
📈 England v Serbia Form & Tactics
England are really maturing under Tuchel and recent camps have shown this development, with England winning each of their last four matches since losing 3-1 to Senegal in a friendly at Wembley. England certainly look a bit more exciting in the final third, with comprehensive victories against the likes of Serbia, Wales and Latvia.
The main concern for England will be the calibre of opponent that they’ve been facing throughout Tuchel’s reign. These victories have all been against sides that England would have been expected to beat, with the defeat against Senegal being particularly alarming as an example of what can happen when you don’t test yourself against the top sides consistently in international football.
Serbia have had a poor qualifying campaign, they were tipped as the second strongest side in this group, but it’s Albania that have taken the initiative for now and sit second in the group - just one point ahead of Serbia. Serbia have actually been ok on the road so far in qualifying, with two wins and one draw from their three away matches, though this is quite clearly their toughest assignment in the group.
📔 England v Serbia Formation & Team News
Tuchel has been tinkering with the side to try and find his favourite solution. One thing worth noting about Tuchel is that he doesn’t tend to give a lot of weight to reputation, an example of this could be in the middle of the park with players like Rogers and Anderson playing well for the Three Lions right now - and that may mean that Jude Bellingham has to earn his role back in the side, with a few run ins already between the Galactico and the England boss.
England have been lining up in a 4-2-3-1, though their defensive shape hasn’t really been tested in this qualifying group, as we’ve seen England face up against low blocks that sit deep. This sets up a pattern where England always have the ball and are the ones creating chances, the only time we’ve seen England on the back foot in a game under Tuchel was their 3-1 defeat against Senegal.
Serbia are likely to line up in a 5-4-1 or a formation that accommodates a deep low block. This is the shape they went with in their 5-0 defeat to England back in September, and a shape that will allow them to try and be direct, as well as create scoring opportunities from crosses - both of which are key aspects of Serbia’s attacking plan.
