England will kick off their Euro 2024 campaign with a highly anticipated clash against Serbia at the Veltins-Arena .
Under the guidance of head coach Dragan Stojkovic, a legendary figure in Serbian football, the team had a somewhat inconsistent journey to qualify for the tournament. Despite only securing four wins in the qualifiers, they managed to clinch a second-place finish behind Hungary, earning them a ticket to Germany.
The Serbian squad boasts several notable names, including Dusan Vlahovic, Dusan Tadic, Sergej Milinkovic-Savic, and Aleksandar Mitrovic, all of whom are capable of turning the tide in their favor. However, their recent form has been less than stellar, with only four wins in their last 11 matches.
On the other hand, England enters Euro 2024 aiming to erase the memories of their Euro 2020 heartbreak, where they lost in the final to Italy. Despite a flawless qualification campaign, manager Gareth Southgate has faced criticism for his tactics, which intensified after a string of unconvincing friendly results.
England's recent performances, including a 1-0 defeat to Iceland and a lackluster 3-0 win over Bosnia-Herzegovina, have raised doubts about their status as tournament favorites.
