Serbia v Wales Betting Tips
Serbia will look to hold on to the top spot in the World Cup 2018 qualifying Group D, were they are edging out Ireland on goal difference. So this is a big home advantage for them in this game, meaning that it’s a fantastic opportunity to take a step towards Russia because it would pretty much Wales out of the picture. Serbia took a 1-1 draw in Wales earlier in the group and they remain unbeaten in a W3 D2 record in the group. Their home form in the group reads W1 D1, having been held by Ireland 2-2 and having beaten Austria 3-2. There have been plenty of goals around then and over 2.5 goals at bet365 is a quote of 13/10 which may be worth a flutter. Serbia’s only previous home game against Wales saw them record a huge 6-1 victory. It is a bit of a stretch to expect a repeat of that and a Serbia 1-0 in the bet365 correct score market is the shortest priced option.
Serbia have a bunch of players around the 7/4 mark in the anytime goalscorer market for the game, which shows how dangerous they can be. Serbia have averaged over two goals per game in qualification and will be a massive threat to the Welsh back line. Their joint top scorers with four goals each in qualification are Aleksandar Mitrovic and Dusan Tadic. Tough game for Wales, because they miss their top scorer Gareth Bale through suspension. So while he is off golfing, Wales are going to battling to keep their qualification hopes alive. They have only suffered one defeat in their last 17 World Cup or European qualifiers and have gone W1 D4 in their World Cup 2018 qualifying group. A point would be a decent return from a tough game, but that’s not likely to help them in the bigger picture of qualification. Both teams to score at bet365 is a quote of 11/10 and the Serbians do struggle for clean sheets.

Serbia v Wales Predictions
Serbia to win: Worth a flutter on both teams to score as Serbia aren’t great at the back at all. Wales though miss Bale importantly and at the end of the day, as resilient as they have been, Serbia have the firepower to make the most of this chance on home soil.
