England face Serbia in the 2024 European Championship in Group C as Gareth Southgate's men play their first game of the tournament.
The Three Lions, runners-up at Euro 2020, have a strong record, losing only one of their last 18 finals games, excluding penalties. With stars like Harry Kane, Jude Bellingham, and Phil Foden, the expectations are high and they're the favourites to win the competition.
Serbia scored a third of their qualifying goals as headers, which is something Southgate's men will want to keep an eye on.
For Southgate, it's a tournament that could be his last as manager if England were to come home trophyless.

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.
