Match Preview

After long years of underachievement, the Serbians are finally showing signs of improvement and starting to fulfil their potential in the Group D of World Cup qualifiers. Under the guidance of veteran coach Slavoljub Muslin, they are leading the table with 11 points from five matches, and hope to qualify for the first major tournament since 2006. Southampton midfielder Dusan Tadic is at the heart of everything they do, involved in 11 out of the 12 goals scored so far. This is an exciting squad, with a good balance between youth and experience, and they definitely deserve to go to Russia, we say in our Serbia vs Wales preview.

Our partners: 777Spinslot casino was created with the intention of providing superior gameplay, customer experience, and it gives a big variety of no deposit slots from the best vendors on the market.

The visitors are unbeaten in five matches, but they drew four times already, and their form is not at the level that enabled them to reach the semifinals at Euro 2016. Star Real Madrid winger Gareth Bale is lacking fitness, having only recovered from injury, and that should be taken into account in our Serbia vs Wales predictions.

Serbia vs Wales Predictions and Betting Advice

Bale scored in the 1-1 draw between the teams in November, but Tadic's side is much more dangerous at home in Belgrade. The Serbians scored 12 goals so far, and their attacking potential is quite impressive. They should deal comfortably with Wales' defence, and Chris Coleman's side could suffer their first defeat in the World Cup qualifiers. The odds are reasonable at 1.70, and that is the core of our Serbia vs Wales betting tips. It could also be interesting to look at the odds on the hosts scoring more than one goal.
