Since Serbia became an independent nation in 2006, they have never qualified for a European Championship in four attempts. The Serbs have only participated in major tournaments at the 2010, 2018, and 2022 World Cups, where they were always eliminated in the preliminary round. Now, for the first time, they will compete in a European Championship. Serbia's qualification was secured by finishing second in Group G, being the only nation to score in all eight qualifying matches. This means Serbia has scored in 22 consecutive competitive matches in World Cup and European Championship qualifiers. Coach Dragan Stojković will rely on a strong offence with players like Dušan Vlahović, Luka Jović, and Aleksandar Mitrović. Despite recent mixed results with only two wins in their last six matches, Serbia recently made a statement with a 3-0 win against Sweden. Their strength in set pieces is notable, as they scored five of their 15 qualifying goals with headers. England, one of the favourites for the European Championship, has never won the title despite having participated 11 times, more than any other nation without a win. They narrowly missed out on the trophy in 2021, losing in the final on penalties. Coach Gareth Southgate's team is again seen as a top contender. Recent strong performances in the European Championships back this up, as they have lost only one of their last 18 competitive matches in the tournament (10 wins, 7 draws), the defeat against Iceland in 2016. Harry Kane is a key player, having been involved in 10 goals during the qualifiers (8 goals, 2 assists) and scoring 12 goals in the last three major finals. Despite this, England's recent form has been shaky, with only one win in their last five international matches (2 draws, 2 losses). Their last friendly ended in a 0-1 defeat at home to Iceland, met with loud boos from the crowd. Historically, England has struggled in European Championship openers, winning just one of their ten opening matches. But I watched my country many times since Dragan Stojković and despite attacking attacking-minded games our defence was simply trash in many matches. Yes, we won against Sweden but they could easily score two or three goals. England is one of the best national teams in the world and I simply can't see them scoring less than two goals against us. Goals are guaranteed here but unfortunately more in Serbia's net.

自2006年塞尔维亚成为独立国家以来，他们已经四次参加欧洲杯，从未获得参赛资格。塞尔维亚人只参加过2010年、2018年和2022年世界杯的主要比赛，但他们总是在预赛中被淘汰。现在，他们将第一次参加欧洲杯。塞尔维亚以G组第二的成绩锁定出线资格，成为唯一在8场预选赛中全部进球的国家。这意味着塞尔维亚已经在世界杯和欧洲杯预选赛中连续22场比赛进球。主教练斯托伊科维奇将依靠强大的进攻，拥有Dušan弗拉霍维奇、卢卡·约维奇和亚历山大·米特罗维奇等球员。尽管塞尔维亚队最近的成绩好坏参半，在最近的六场比赛中只取得了两场胜利，但他们最近以3比0战胜了瑞典。他们在定位球方面的实力值得注意，他们在预选赛的15个进球中有5个是头球打进的。英格兰队是欧洲杯的热门球队之一，尽管参加过11次，比其他任何一个没有获胜的国家都要多，但他们从未赢得过冠军。在2021年的决赛中，他们在点球大战中落败，与奖杯擦肩而过。教练加雷斯·索斯盖特的球队再次被视为顶级竞争者。最近在欧洲杯上的强劲表现支持了这一点，因为他们在最近的18场比赛中只输了一场(10胜7平)，那就是2016年对阵冰岛的比赛。哈里·凯恩是球队的关键球员，他在预选赛中贡献了10粒进球(8球2助攻)，并在最近三次重大决赛中打入12球。尽管如此，英格兰队最近的状态并不稳定，在最近的五场国际比赛中只取得了一场胜利(2平2负)。他们的上一场友谊赛在主场以0-1不敌冰岛队，全场嘘声震天。从历史上看，英格兰队在欧洲杯揭幕战中表现不佳，在10场揭幕战中只赢了一场。但是自从斯托伊科维奇之后，我看了我的国家很多次比赛，尽管我们的防守在很多比赛中都是垃圾。是的，我们赢了瑞典，但他们很容易进两三个球。英格兰是世界上最好的国家队之一，我不能看到他们在对阵我们的比赛中进不到两个球。这里的进球是保证的，但不幸的是更多的进球进了塞尔维亚的网。
