Hello and welcome to Eurosport's live digital coverage of Serbia vs Portugal in World Cup qualifying! Portugal began their campaign with a 1-0 win over Azerbaijan on Wednesday and now face a Serbia side who beat Republic of Ireland 3-2 on the same night. Kick-off is at 7:45pm UK time with team news coming right up!

Play stops for a moment as Danilo goes down injured. He is back up on his feet now, though, and looks OK to continue.

Serbia are attempting to play it long to Mitrovic and Tadic behind him, but Portugal's midfield trio are winning the physical contest so far. Portugal have had 54 per cent possession. Cedric's cross into the box is claimed by Dmitrovic.

Silva brings down Milenkovic before play is stopped when Danilo commits a foul. Serbia are battling to get back into this.

GOAL!! Jota finds the net with a header at the far-post after he meets Silva's delightful inswinging cross from the right flank! It's the perfect start for coach Fernando Santos on his 1000th game and his team!

Portugal are the ones setting the tempo. Serbia, despite their attacking shape, look content to sit deep and try to hit on the counter. The visitors have been the better side so far.

OVER! Jota slips a through ball to Silva who surges into the box. He tees up Ronaldo at the near post but the 36-year-old blasts his close-range shot over the bar! That looked destined to be a goal when Ronaldo took control of that. That was a big miss!

Lazovic's cross finds Kostic. He attempts to rifle a shot on goal but Cedric dives in to make an important block.

Jota fouls Milinkovic-Savic as he attempts to hoof the ball clear and Serbia have a free-kick. The Liverpool man was not best pleased with the referee over that decision.

Oliveira's cross looking for Ronaldo is punched clear by Dmitrovic under a bit of pressure from the Juventus striker.

Portugal are attempting to adopt a high press are enjoying the ball in these opening stages. This should make for a very intriguing tactical battle with Serbia playing three at the back and Portugal four.

Tonight's referee Danny Makkelie - from the Netherlands - gets us underway!

The "engineer" will be looking to make it back-to-back wins in World Cup qualifying tonight. The national anthems are underway... kick-off is just moments away!

Portugal are warming up. They are the slight favourites to win this Group A clash in Belgrade. Six players in their starting XI tonight play in the Premier League. A front three of Diogo Jota, Bernardo Silva and Cristiano Ronaldo with Bruno Fernandes in behind should be rather exciting.

Seven of Serbia’s last ten competitive home games have produced over 3.5 total goals and their attacking lineup tonight against a very strong-looking Portugal side suggests we could be in for an absolute cracker at Stadion Rajko Mitic - the home of Red Star Belgrade. Cristiano Ronaldo is also pursuing his latest record...

Portugal boss Fernando Santos will reach the rare milestone of heading into his 1000th game as head coach at club and international level combined. The 66-year old from Lisbon won Euro 2016 and the 2019 Nations League with his country.

For Serbia it is FIVE changes to the team that beat Republic of Ireland 3-2 on Wednesday. Darko Lazovic, Sergej Milinkovic-Savic, Nemanja Guldelj, Filip Kostic and Aleksandar Mitrovic - who scored twice on Wednesday - all come into an attacking XI.

Portugal boss Fernando Santos makes SIX changes to his side that beat Azerbaijan 1-0 on Wednesday on his 1000th game as a coach. Jose Fonte, Cedric, Fernandes, Oliveira, Danilo and Jota come in. Domingos Duarte, Nuno Mendes, Joao Moutinho, Ruben Neves, Pedro Neto and Andre Silva all make way.

Serbia XI: Dmitrovic, Milenkovic, S Mitrovic, Pavlovic, Lazovic, Milinkovic-Savic, Gudelj, Kostic, Tadic, Vlahovic, A Mitrovic
