Slovenia vs Serbia Key Battle 

RB Leipzig’s in-demand hitman Benjamin Sesko recently opted to commit to the German club for at least another season, despite interest from the likes of Arsenal and Chelsea, and the 21-year-old could be the key man for his nation on Thursday afternoon.

Sesko, who netted 14 Bundesliga goals in 1532 minutes of action for Leipzig last season, will find himself up against Fiorentina centre-back Nikola Milenkovic, who played a crucial part in the Italian side reaching the final of the Europa Conference League last term.

Conveniently, both players share the same height (195cm, 6ft4), but which will make the most of their towering frame and help their side to what could be a crucial three points in Group C
