With their World Cup qualification already secure, England can take it easy, but Thomas Tuchel is still aiming for another win against Serbia tonight.
The Three Lions delivered an outstanding performance in Belgrade with a 5-0 victory, ensuring their top spot in Group K.
The Serbs then suffered a home defeat to Albania, and a loss at Wembley tonight would end their play-off chances.
England vs Serbia top betting tips
This is expected to be an entertaining match as Serbia needs a win, with a draw offering little benefit.
The question remains whether they can break through a defense that hasn’t conceded a goal in six qualifiers. The odds disagree, with BTTS no at 8/11, but Tuchel’s team might ease off, making BTTS at evens worth considering with BOYLE Sports.
With more at stake for Serbia, they are likely to receive more cards, presenting a betting opportunity. Backing Serbia at -1 in the card handicap is priced at 11/8 at Bet365, while BOYLE Sports offers odds of 7/4 for Fulham midfielder Sasa Lukic to be booked.

Republic of Ireland vs Portugal
The Republic of Ireland’s play-off chances are hanging by a thread, and a home loss to Portugal could extinguish their hopes tonight.
Hungary’s late equalizer in Lisbon was a major setback for the Irish, leaving them a point behind with two games remaining.
It also prevented Portugal from securing their finals spot, so Roberto Martinez’s team will be eager to finish the job in Dublin.
Heimir Hallgrimsson’s side defended bravely in Portugal before conceding a stoppage-time goal.
That performance gives them hope, but Martinez’s team remain strong 4/11 favorites. I’m backing Portugal to win with under 3.5 goals, paying 23/20 at BOYLE Sports.
Josh Cullen will be pivotal in midfield, priced at 9/4 at BOYLE Sports to be booked, while Bet365 offers 6/4 on him committing over 1.5 fouls.
Norway vs Estonia
Norway has been impressive in UEFA World Cup qualifying and can edge closer to the finals with a win against Estonia tonight.
Six straight victories have propelled the Norwegians to the top of Group I, including a commanding 3-0 home win against Italy.
However, Italy remains three points behind with two games left.
A win tonight would leave Norway needing to avoid a four-goal loss against Italy to secure their finals spot.
