Slovenia and Serbia meet at the Allianz Arena in Munich on Thursday afternoon in a game that England fans will no doubt have a close eye on. Slovenia looked like they were going to fall to an opening defeat at the hands of Denmark on Sunday when Christian Eriksen fired the Danes in front early on in the first half. A spirited comeback from Slovenia followed, however, and after creating several chances, they finally took one of them in 77 minutes when a deflected shot went past Kasper Schmeichel in goal to level it. That game ended 1-1 and keeps Slovenia’s hopes of progressing alive.
Serbia went into their opener with England as the significant underdogs and that was looking the case when Jude Bellingham headed the Three Lions in front after 13 minutes. The Serbs absorbed some pressure for the rest of the half and came out firing in the second. They had several chances to equalise but for some last-ditch defending and some great goalkeeping from Jordan Pickford. They couldn’t find the goal they needed, but the performance will have given them plenty of confidence and probably put them as favourites to win this game.
That’s what the Euro 2024 betting odds seem to suggest, with many bookies having Serbia the slight odds on favourites to win. Based on that performance on Sunday, we’re inclined to agree and the odds on Serbia to win with a -1 handicap is also tempting. This has been a tournament of goals so far, so if you’re looking at the correct score market, our suggestion is 3-1 to Serbia. You could also opt for Serbia in the match result and both teams to score market if you feel a little more cautious.
