Belgium v Serbia
Wednesday 19:45 (Live on Viaplay Xtra)

In Uruguay last night, league leaders Liverpool were held to a goalless draw by Plaza Colonia.

We kick off in the outskirts of Brussels, where Belgium are hosting Serbia in an international friendly. We reckon there's a decent chance of goals at Den Dreef.

Going back to June, both teams have scored in 6/6 Serbia internationals. Five of those games delivered Over 2.5 Goals.

Since the start of last year, 4/4 Belgium friendlies have delivered Over 2.5 Goals - and the Red Devils' only clean sheet came against Burkina Faso. Both teams have scored in 6/8 friendlies since 2020.

If goals are on the cards, the interesting question is who might get them? For the hosts, Romelu Lukaku has netted on each of his last three appearances for his country, including last month's abandoned game with Sweden.

At the other end, Serbia's all-time leading scorer should also have his tail up. Aleksandar Mitrovic has been netting freely for Saudia Arabia's Al Hilal, scoring at least once in 12/16 appearances across all competitions.

For his country, Mitrovic has scored in 2/3 this autumn, grabbing two against Montenegro last month, blanking against Hungary and hitting a hat-trick in Lithuania in September.

An OddsBoost on the Sportsbook means you can get 7/1 on Lukaku and Mitrovic to score anytime tonight.

Back Over 2.5 Goals @ 1.9420/21
