England have already secured their spot in the 2026 FIFA World Cup but they’ll be hoping to end Group K in style and maintain their perfect record during these qualifiers under Thomas Tuchel, they’ll welcome Serbia to Wembley on Thursday evening.

You can view the England v Serbia Bet Builder on William Hill News.

Now, let’s take a closer look at some World Cup qualification odds and betting angles for Thursday’s fixture:

England v Serbia – Thursday, 7.45pm

Punters can bet on England v Serbia with William Hill

England are looking strong under Thomas Tuchel and that’s reflected in Group K, with the Three Lions sitting at the summit of the group having won each of their six outings so far, scoring eighteen goals in the process and having yet to concede, not bad.
Of course, tougher tests are still to come for England but all these victories will still give this side confidence under their new boss, they’ll look to continue their impressive record of having not lost a World Cup Qualifier since back in October 2009 (W29, D8).
These two sides met in Belgrade just two months ago with England thumping Serbia 5-0 on the night, they’ve now won both of their recent meetings and with England scoring before half-time in seven of their last eight games under Tuchel, a half-time lead could be on the cards.
——————————–
Serbia’s World Cup dreams are hanging in the balance after two defeats in their last three outings, they sit third in Group K on ten points, just one point behind Albania with only two games left to play.
Serbia head to Wembley knowing that it’s likely a win is needed here, they can take confidence in the fact they’ve not lost a World Cup Qualifier away from home since 2017 (W5, D2).
Just one of Serbia’s last seven games have seen both teams on the scoresheet, whilst only two of their last seven away games have seen three or more goals, given England’s strong defensive record, i’m going to back the Three Lions to win to nil.

Prediction: England To Win To Nil, England 2-0 Serbia.
