塞尔维亚面临巨大的双头球
塞尔维亚本月将在周六面临一场至关重要的世界杯预选赛双头比赛；英国队必须在下周K组领导人英格兰队访问之前赢得里加对阵拉脱维亚的比赛。德拉甘·斯托伊科维奇’；如果美国队要以任何信心或势头进入第二场比赛，他们就不能在第一场比赛中丢分。
这位传奇的前南斯拉夫球星带来了一些新面孔，抛弃了一些老后卫，但球队的核心和比赛风格仍然非常熟悉。Nikola Milenkovic和Strahinja Pavlovic锁定了防守，富勒姆中场球员Sasa Lukic提供了更多的保护，而Dusan Vlahovic和Aleksandar Mitrovic为两名攻击边后卫提供了目标练习。
他们稳固的状态和平衡使塞尔维亚很难被击败，但很容易与他们应该获胜的球队战平。他们以0比0战平阿尔巴尼亚的紧张局势开始了资格赛，然后以3比0击败安道尔。
老鹰队可以在得分较低的比赛中获胜
与此同时，拉脱维亚已经参加了三场预选赛；结果喜忧参半。在前意大利21岁以下国家队主教练保罗·尼科拉托的执教下，11支狼队在安道尔获胜，在温布利以3比0输给英格兰，并在主场以1比1战平阿尔巴尼亚。
对他们来说不幸的是，塞尔维亚将在周六的看台上得到很多支持，因为该国目前正在举办欧洲篮下决赛。客队应该有足够的进攻质量来抓住他们在塞尔维亚创造的机会；他坚如磐石的防守再也没什么出其不意。
支持斯托伊科维奇；考虑到他们在过去五场比赛中有四场保持不失球，而拉脱维亚在过去三场比赛中只进了一球，中国队以零比零获胜。但让客队在比赛中以少于三个进球获胜可能更有利可图，因为老鹰队有11个进球；在过去的13场比赛中，罢工次数不到3次。

Serbia face huge double-header
Serbia face a crucial World Cup qualifying double header this month with Saturday’s must-win match in Riga against Latvia preceding a visit from Group K leaders England next week. Dragan Stojkovic’s side cannot afford to drop any points in the first match if they are to go into the second with any confidence or momentum.
The legendary ex-Yugoslavia star has brought in some new faces and jettisoned some of the old guard, but the core of the team and style of play remains pretty familiar. Nikola Milenkovic and Strahinja Pavlovic lock down the defence with Fulham midfielder Sasa Lukic providing even more protection as Dusan Vlahovic and Aleksandar Mitrovic offer target practice for the two attacking wing-backs.
Their solid shape and balance makes Serbia difficult to beat but susceptible to drawing against teams that perhaps they should be winning against. They began qualifying with a tense 0-0 draw against Albania before brushing Andorra aside 3-0.
Eagles can edge a low-scoring game
Latvia, meanwhile, have already played three qualifiers – with mixed results. Coached by ex-Italy Under-21 boss Paolo Nicolato, 11 Wolves have won in Andorra, lost 3-0 to England at Wembley and earned a creditable 1-1 draw at home to Albania.
Unfortunately for them, Serbia will have plenty of support in the stands on Saturday as the country is currently staging the Eurobasket finals. The visitors should have enough quality in attack to snaffle up the chances they create while Serbia’s rock-solid defence gives little away again.
Backing Stojkovic’s side to win to nil appeals given they have kept clean sheets in four of their last five games while Latvia have scored one goal in their last three games. But it may be more profitable to take the visitors to win with fewer than three goals in the game because 11 of the Eagles’ last 13 games have featured fewer than three strikes.
