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.
