After beating Cyprus 2-1 last week Wednesday, Serbia will host Israel for another International Friendly game.

Serbia failed to qualify for the Euro 2016 competition in France which made it 16 years since they last took part in the Tournament. Serbian recent form has been on the average, they have won 5 of their last 10 games and lost 5 games. Nevertheless, they have won their last 2 games, and have lost just once this year.

Israel failed to qualifying for the competition also, they finished 4th in the qualifying group that has Belgium, Wales, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Cyprus and Andorra. They have won just 1 in their last 5 games and lost 3. Their scoring form is also not good; they have scored only 2 goals in their last 4 games.

Stokjkovic – Ivanovic, Kolarov, Rukavina, Nastasic – Tadic, Matic, Markovic, Ljajic – Mitrovic, Stojiljkovic.

Israel: Predicted Line-up (4-4-2)

Serbia vs Israel: Head-To-Head stats

Both teams have met once in 2011 in a friendly game and the game ended in favour of Serbia as they beat the Israelites 2-0

Serbia vs Israel: Prediction

This game could go either way as both teams are not in a good shape, but the Serbian side are a bit more shaped than the Israelites as they have been involved in more games than Israel, they have also won more games this year than the Israelites.

I expect a win from the Serbian side but the game will likely end in draw. I expect the game to record low goals.
