World Cup - Qualification Europe
Serbia has definitively lost the opportunity to participate in the World Cup. The disappointment is great, and this recently led to a coaching change. Veljko Paunović, former coach of Oviedo, made his debut on Thursday with a 0:2 loss away to England. After the match, he stated that he was pleased with the effort and the team, but not with the result. He certainly hopes to achieve his first victory at the helm of the team, even though Serbia can no longer move from third place in the group.
On the other hand, Latvia is firmly in fourth place. On Thursday, they played a friendly in North Macedonia, which ended goalless. In four of their last five away matches, they did not score. They also did not score in September when hosting Serbia, which they lost 0:1.
Prediction: victory for Serbia and under 3.5 goals, Serbia to win with a clean sheetI expect Veljko Paunović to seek and achieve his first success at the helm of Serbia. Latvia does not impress much and it is likely they will not score. 19 of Serbia's last 21 matches have had under 3.5 goals, as well as 12 of Latvia's last 14. So a victory for Serbia with under 3.5 goals and likely with a clean sheet.
