Serbia Prediction – Can Serbia jump into 2nd place?
After gaining a win, draw and defeat in their first three matches in Group B, Serbia find themselves on 4 points and level with surprise package, Luxembourg, but goal difference just separates the two sides ahead of this weekend’s action in this group.
Serbia will be mindful though that they can get ahead of Luxembourg who aren’t in action until next Tuesday night, as Saturday’s hosts have a game in hand when they play host to Portugal this Saturday.
That said, there could be easier opponents for Serbia to try and gain all three points from, although the Serbs held Portugal to a 1-1 draw in their opening group match and then secured all three points with a convincing 4-1 home win against bottom nation, Lithuania.
In between times, Serbia suffered a heavy 5-0 defeat away at Group B leaders, Ukraine, who have made an explosive start to their Euro 2020 campaign and sit top of the group with a 6-point margin.
Serbia haven’t beaten Portugal in their previous two encounters at home against tonight’s opponents.
Portugal Prediction – Can Albania stay in touch?
It’s been a slow start to the new Euro 2020 campaign for Saturday’s visitors, Portugal, as they sit in 4th place and have just 2 points from their first two matches played in the group stages, which were gained in a 0-0 draw at home with Ukraine and a 1-1 draw at home with tonight’s hosts, Serbia.
Since playing these two group matches, Portugal lifted the inaugural UEFA Nations League crown after beating Netherlands 1-0 in the final following their semi-final 3-1 win over Switzerland in what was a successful tournament for the Portuguese.
Despite their slow start to this qualifying process, Portugal will still be confident that they can at least make a top two finish in Group B, although they must avoid defeat in Serbia on Saturday night in order to not let Serbia nor Luxembourg get a lead on them.
This will be Portugal’s first away match of this group phase but having won their last 4 away wins in Euro qualifiers with victories over Denmark, Armenia, Albania and Serbia, the latter being back in 2015, the visitors should fancy their chances of at least a point here.
Key-Facts – Serbia v Portugal
- Serbia could jump into 2nd place and move 3 points clear of Luxembourg
- Portugal have won their last 4 away matches in Euro qualifiers
- Portugal have avoided defeat in their previous two visits to Serbia
Betting Tips Verdict
Serbia have been indifferent so far, so this is a good opportunity for Portugal to make up some ground.
