England take on Serbia in their first group game of the 2024 European Championship in Germany.
Gareth Southgate's side narrowly missed winning their first major tournament since the 1966 World Cup, losing the Euro 2021 final to Italy on penalties at Wembley, and after a 2-1 loss to France in the 2022 World Cup in the quarterfinals.
The Three Lions kickoff their tournament in Gelsenkirchen and come into the clash as heavy favourites.

England vs. Serbia prediction
- Score prediction: England 3-0 Serbia
England have started all three of their major international tournaments under Southgate with wins, their largest being a 6-2 victory over Iran at the Qatar World Cup in 2022.
While Serbia were tipped as the dark horses for that tournament two years ago, England's squad depth should prove too strong for Dragan Stojkovic’s side.
