Serbia were not in action in the World Cup qualifiers in midweek and used the time to play Qatar in a friendly match, winning 4-0 for their first clean sheet in six matches. A similar result when they host Luxembourg in the qualifiers will see them go top of Group A. Serbia are currently second with seven points, one above Luxembourg who are second after their 2-1 win over Azerbaijan. Serbia go to this game unbeaten in their last four World Cup qualification matches, winning three, and they have scored two or more goals in four of their last five matches in World Cup qualifiers. Fulham forward Aleksandar Mitrovic has been the team’s star with five goals in three World Cup qualifying matches and with a 10-game unbeaten run at home in the competition, they have a big advantage. Serbia have scored two or more goals in seven of their last 10 home matches in World Cup qualifiers. This will be the third meeting between these nations; in the previous two, Serbia have won, with Mitrovic grabbing four goals out of the six scored. The striker goes to this game in top form too, having scored four times already for Fulham this season.

With a win, Luxembourg can leap to second in Group A, but that seems very unlikely, going by their recent form, which has the team at two wins in nine matches. They are up against a formidable side and will also need to improve on a defence line that has no clean sheet in the last four matches. The visitors have managed just one clean sheet in 14 away matches, and won just three of the last 15 on the road. In World Cup qualifiers, they don’t have a great run, posting just four wins in the last 36 and they head here having failed to score in three of the last four away matches in the competition. Luxembourg have one win in 15 away matches in World Cup qualifiers and just three clean sheets in their last 68 away games in the competition.
