Lithuania they will play with Serbia in very interesting match this evening.Since I’ve already submitted the list of players and explained the situation with the missing ones, I’ll just remind that the two key players who are missing are Boško Janković and Marko Pantelić (unfit, long time without a club). Other than that, Radomir Antić has a full squad of players to chose from. But which formation will he use?Now, this isn’t very easy to guess. At the back, Nemanja Vidić and Branislav Ivanović are, as always, guaranteed to start, but the left-back and the second centre-back situation leaves various combinations possible. My guess is that he will use the back line of Obradović, Subotić, Vidić and Ivanović, but Ivica Dragutinović, Aleksandar Luković and Aleksandar Kolarov could also appear on the pitch without it being a major surprise.
Guessing the midfield and the attack depends on the formation which Antić will use. My guess, and the general consensus in Serbia, is that we’ll deploy a 4-3-3 that can easily revert to a 4-5-1, with Nikola Žigić as a lone striker and the brilliant pair of Milan Jovanović and Miloš Krasić on the wings. Now, these three players are guaranteed to start whatever formation we use in the end since they are the backbone of our attack, but the rest of the squad isn’t so easy to predict. If we use the 4-3-3, we’ll probably see Dejan Stanković, Nenad Milijaš and Gojko Kačar in the center of the park, but Zdravko Kuzmanović and Miloš Ninković could also be involved if Antić wishes to experiment a little. If we use a 4-4-2, then there’s a good chance that Zoran Tošić could start on the left with Milan Jovanović deployed in a striker’s role alongside Žigić.For me Lithuania will not lose here.
