Ireland
Ireland hosts Serbia in a Group A clash of the FIFA World Cup European qualifiers at the Aviva Stadium. Ireland currently lingers at fourth in the group standings while Serbia is on top of the ladder. The home side has managed to get just one point on board from four fixtures so far while the visitors have garnered a total of ten points on board from just four games. Ireland succumbed to a 3-2 defeat at Serbia in the opening match of the group before yet another 1-0 loss to Luxembourg. The home side’s dismal run continued as they faced defeat against Portugal as well before getting their first point on board in the qualifying campaign after a 1-1 draw with Azerbaijan. Troy Parrott enjoys the field, and when he receives the ball and heads towards the goal, the opponent has problems. Adam Idah is a young striker who plays in Norwich, and he is expected to score as many goals as possible and bring joy to his nation. The bench players are expected to show as much as possible and impose themselves on the coach for the starting lineup.
Serbia
Serbia, on the contrary, is on a fine run of form. The visitors drew 2-2 with Portugal, defeated Azerbaijan and Luxembourg with 2-1 and 4-1 scorelines, respectively, after the 3-2 win over Ireland.

Serbia has only lost on a single occasion at eight away matches. The visitors also have a good head-to-head record against Ireland at the Aviva Stadium, winning the two games played between the two sides. Nemanja Gudelj has excellent ball control, and he can play in several positions. He doesn’t allow the opponent much action in the middle of the field, which makes him an instrumental player. Filip Kostic is the engine of this team, he goes through the defense of the opponent like a fast train, he has excellent ball control, and he can be satisfied with his games.
