Picking up a 6-0 win away in Bulgaria amidst a string of off-field issues last month, England have bounced back from their shock defeat against the Czech Republic and Gareth Southgate s side have all but confirmed their spot as Group A winners. Still boosted by their bronze medal finish in the inaugural Nations League, Thursday s hosts have continued to gain a reputation for their free-scoring antics and one man to watch out for at Wembley will be the red-hot Marcus Rashford. Once again finding the net against Brighton on Premier League duties over the weekend, the 22-year-old has now recorded seven goals in his last eight matches for club and country, including finding the net out in Bulgaria last month. Given Montenegro s continued issues during qualifying, the Manchester United ace should be confident of extending his recent purple patch on Thursday night. Suffering a 2-0 defeat out in Kosovo in their last Group A appearance, they are yet to record a single victory in any of their seven qualification outings, including a 5-1 hammering at the hands of England in Podgorica back in March.
Tip: Marcus Rashford to score anytime @ 4/5
19:45 Serbia vs Luxembourg
Starting with hosts, chasing down a one-point deficit to Portugal in the race to secure that lucrative second spot in Group B with two matchups remaining, Serbia will know that Thursday s contest is a must-win encounter. Landing three wins across all competitions, including back-to-back qualifying victories, Ljubiša Tumbaković s men will also be boosted by their 3-1 win over Luxembourg on foreign soil back in September. One man who has continued to spearhead the Eagles EURO 2020 charge is leading marksman and attacking talisman, Aleksandar Mitrovic. Bagging the winner in Fulham s 1-0 victory over Birmingham prior to the international break, the 25-year-old already has 12 Championship goals to his name and leads the race to clinch the Golden Boot. Continuing to shine while away on international duty, it should also be noted that Mitrovic has scored five goals in his last three qualifying appearances, including a brace against Luxembourg. Suffering a 4-0 hammering against Denmark last month, it really has been a woeful eight months for Thursday s guests. Now losing each of their last five matches across all formats, the Group B strugglers have also shipped at least a trio of strikes in each of their last three matches on the bounce.
