Dragan Stojkovic’s national team made a successful start in the first World Cup qualifying match against Ireland, demonstrating morale. The island kickers led Browne in the early stages with a 1-0 lead (18th). Even before the break, the Orlovi was able to achieve the important 1-1 equalization (40th, Vlahovic) and thus laid the foundation for the catch-up in the second round. Within seven minutes A. Mitrovic scored twice and led the Serbs 3-1 in the front (68th, 75th). Although the guests from Ireland managed to score a 2-3 goal (86th, Collins), it was no longer enough to equalise.
Last year, the Stojkovic team just missed their participation in the upcoming European Championships this summer. Serbia beat Norway 2-1 after overtime in the semi-finals in the European Championships playoffs and then played against Scotland for the European Championships ticket in the final. The British won the final after penalty shootouts and ended the Serbs’ European Championship dreams, which as an independent country have never been to the EURO.
It looked better in the past at World Cup finals. The Orlovi participated in two of the last three World Championships. At the World Cup in Russia about three years ago, the 1-0 opening victory against Costa Rica also looked promising at first. However, there were two defeats against Switzerland (1-2) and Brazil (0-2). So what then seals the preliminary round. Also in 2010 in South Africa the 1-0 victory during the group phase against Germany was not enough to reach the next round because there were two bankruptcies against Ghana (0-1) and Australia (1-2).
The Serbian national team is constantly evolving and now also has real stars in the squad – Nikola Milenkovic (AC Florence), Sergej Milinkovic-Savic (Lazio Rome), Filip Kostic (Eintracht Frankfurt), Captain Dusan Tadic (Ajax Amsterdam) and Luka Jovic (Frankfurt). In addition to the two Frankfurt residents, Herthas Nemanja Radonjic and Bremens Milos Vejkovic are also represented.

The Selecao did his homework the same day in the favourite role against Azerbaijan and won 1-0 at home. The reigning European Champion can thank his opponent Medvedev, who scored in his own goal shortly before the break (37th). Portugal had no goalscorer of its own, not even superstar Cristiano Ronaldo.
Fernando Santos’ team made a much more convincing appearance in the Nations League last year. But the title defence will no longer succeed this year. Portugal won the Dutch title in the final against Holland in 2019 (1-0), so it was no longer enough to qualify for the semi-finals in 2020. Nevertheless, the Selecao was well on its way and finished second behind France (16 points) (13). Only the home game against the world champion was lost (0:1, first leg 0:0). There were four victories against Croatia and Sweden in four games.
Portugal has the second chance to defend a title at the European Championships this year. In Group F, they will meet France again, and Germany and Hungary will also be present. This will make qualifying for the final of the eighteen a big task. Five years ago in France, Ronaldo and Co. won their first title of association history against the host in the final.
The Portuguese participated in the 2018 World Cup in Russia and survived the preliminary round with five points against Spain (3:3), Morocco (1:0) and Italy (1:1). After the Selecao defeated two top teams in the final of the eighteen against Uruguay, they were eliminated (1:2).
Portugal waives goalkeeper Rui Patricio for the international matches in March. Premier League club Wolverhampton Wanderers’ goalkeeper suffered a head injury in the last league match against Liverpool (0-1).
In addition to superstar CR7 (Juventus Turin), the Portuguese national team is teeming with other superstars such as Joao Felix (Atletico Madrid), Diogo Jota (FC Liverpool), Bernardo Silva (Manchester City), Bruno Fernandes (Manchester United) and Joao Cancelo and Ruben Dias (both Manchester City).

Portugal is the favourite in Serbia for the second victory in Group A’s second World Cup qualifying game, but the European Champion in Belgrade will have to face a lot of opposition. The Orlovi impressed last Wednesday in the first qualifying game against Ireland and scored the first three goals against a good team. Selecao struggled in the clear favourite role against Underdog Azerbaijan in its own four walls and will need to improve its performance in Serbia. The form of the day will determine the international game. We’re tapping on a goal-rich draw at Rajko Mitic Stadium. Personally we favor for this tip forecast the goal bets on the market „Both teams meet? YES”. For this sports betting tip, the online betting providers provide betting odds in the range around 1.80+.
