The final round of September’s FIFA World Cup European qualifiers will play out on Tuesday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pregame narrative:<\/strong> England has been undefeated so far in Group K but faces a tough road test against Serbia. I expect the hosts to pull out a result, and I am also backing France’s Bradley Barcola to log a goal contribution against Iceland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Check out my FIFA World Cup qualifier predictions for the European soccer matches on Sept. 9, 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Best bet: Serbia to win or tie (+110)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

England has been spotless in its bid for a World Cup spot so far.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Three Lions are undefeated through four contests, scoring 12 times without conceding a goal. But that was largely expected against Albania, Latvia and Andorra (twice). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, Thomas Tuchel’s group faces a tougher task: Winning on the road in front of a raucous Serbian crowd.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Serbia is also unbeaten, sporting a 2-0-1 record without conceding a goal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Harry Kane headlines England’s attack, but he’s missing plenty of starpower up front. Bukayo Saka, Cole Palmer and Jude Bellingham are all out with injuries. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

That trio has combined for 20 goals and brings an entirely different dynamic to the squad when healthy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When these teams met at the European Cup last summer, England barely squeaked out a 1-0 win on neutral ground with a full squad. The Serbians were practically level on possession and out-shot the English, 6-5.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Key stat:<\/strong> Serbia is on a seven-game unbeaten run at home, forcing draws against European powerhouses Spain and Denmark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Barcola to score or assist (-130)<\/strong>: There’s no such thing as a sure thing in sports, but it would be a shock if Iceland put up a fight against France in Paris on Tuesday. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Les Bleus are -835 to win and are -200 to score three-plus goals. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m looking for value on France’s offence, and I believe Barcola is the man to target. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 23-year-old superstar has 26 goal contributions in 31 starts for club and country this year. He logged an assist in Friday’s qualifier against Ukraine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Playing alongside Kylian Mbappe never hurts, and I expect Barcola to have an outsized role in the attack with Ousmane Dembele and Desire Doue out with injuries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
