A glance at the last duels of the Serbs reveals a sobering record. Cross-competitive only one of the last seven international matches should be won. This one threesome came into being in the Nations League against Russia after a 5-0. On the other hand, however, there are two defeats and four draws. Most recently, in friendly matches, the points were split twice after a goalless draw. The opponents were Dominican Republic and Panama. Above all, however, the 4-5 bankruptcy in the penalty shootout against Scotland should weigh very heavily. Based on this, participation in the 2021 European Championships in the playoffs was lost.
As part of the Nations League, Serbia was able to avoid relegation with great difficulty. Only on the last match day was the last place in the league handed over to Turkey with a 5-0 edge win against Russia. With a record of one win, three draws and two defeats, six points were scored. There was no getting past the two leaders from Russia and Hungary.
Dragan Stojkovic has taken over the coaching post since the beginning of March due to the recent mixed performances. The qualifying match with Ireland is his first match.
The odds in the World Cup qualifying group A certainly put Serbia in second place. However, it should not be enough for rank 1, as the Portuguese will be too strong. Whether rank 2 is achieved in the end certainly depends primarily on direct power measurements with Ireland. With a home win in the first leg, a first step would have been taken.
Serbia participated in the last World Cup. In Group E, only third place was enough against strong competition from Brazil and Switzerland. After all, the qualification for the 2018 World Cup was finished in first place ahead of Ireland.

Looking at the 2020 football year is likely to be considered very sobering from the perspective of the Irish. In 2020, there were not a single threesome for the Irish national team. The last success experience dates back to November 2019 and was achieved after a 3-1 against New Zealand. This was followed by four draws and five defeats. The eleven have now been waiting for a success experience for nine games. A good shape curve certainly looks different.
Within the framework of the Nations League, Ireland was anything but a good figure and thus by no means managed to convince. Only three points resulted from a total of six pairings. After all, with a record of three draws and three defeats, it was enough for third place. The descent was avoided for the time being. The offensive poses a major problem. In the six Nations League matches, Ireland netted only once against the opponent. The defense conceded four goals.
In addition to Serbia, Ireland is also awarded second place in the World Cup qualification. The Irish certainly take on the role of underdog. Nevertheless, anything is possible in football. That’s why a lot can happen. A draw against Serbia would certainly be a good starting point with regard to the second leg against a local backdrop.
At the last World Cup qualifying event in 2018, Ireland finished second behind Serbia and made the leap into the playoffs. There, however, it set a devastating 1-5 slap against Denmark after a 0-0 in the first leg in the second leg. The qualification for the World Cup 2018 was playful.

In the final World Cup qualification, Ireland beat the Serbs. But will a similar picture emerge now? In the direct duel Serbia is favoured. This is primarily due to the home advantage. Nevertheless, Ireland should by no means be underestimated. After all, the Serbs did not win any of the last two home games against Ireland. The points should be divided twice (0:0, 2:2). Again, it won’t be an easy match. Nevertheless, in the course of our betting tip forecast, a narrow home win can be assumed. The Irish have been too weak in the past.
