📢 Can Andorra put up a respectable fight against England in their upcoming 2026 World Cup qualifier? On Saturday, June 7, the teams will face off at the RCDE Stadium in Barcelona, as Andorra's home ground does not meet UEFA standards. England have started their qualifying campaign with confidence, securing two wins without conceding a goal, and are eager to maintain their winning streak. In contrast, Andorra have suffered two defeats and have yet to find the back of the net. The gulf in class between the teams is evident, but can the Andorrans challenge the favorites?
Head-to-Head
📊 Since 2008, Andorra and England have faced off four times. In each encounter, the English side comfortably overcame their opponents, securing resounding victories with an aggregate score of 17-0. England scored at least twice in every match, while Andorra failed to find the back of the net even once.
Andorra Team Overview
🔴 The Andorra national team remains one of the weakest sides in world football. Since 2023, they have managed just a single victory, defeating San Marino in a friendly match in the fall of 2024 (2-0). In the UEFA Nations League, Andorra struggled significantly, suffering two defeats against Moldova (0-2 and 0-1), losing and drawing with Malta (0-1 and 0-0), finishing the tournament with four points and landing at the bottom of Group D2. In the current qualification for the 2026 World Cup, the team started with two losses: 0-1 to Latvia and 0-2 to Albania, failing to score a single goal. These results underscore the ongoing challenges the team faces both in attack and defense.
England Team Overview
⚪ The England national team continues to affirm their status as one of the powerhouses in European football. At Euro 2020, they reached the final but fell to Italy in a penalty shootout. In the 2022 World Cup, the English were halted in the quarterfinals by France. At Euro 2024, they once again made it to the final, only to be narrowly defeated by Spain. In the 2024/25 Nations League, England performed impressively, topping their League B group with five wins out of six matches. In the qualification for the 2026 World Cup, the team started strongly, securing two victories: a 2-0 win over Albania and a 3-0 triumph over Latvia, keeping clean sheets in both games.
Latest news
Andorra
🚫 Andorra's national team will be without their most seasoned player this time around. The 42-year-old Marc Pujol, who has 122 caps for the national side, has not been called up for the current squad. Another blow is the absence of forward Albert Rosas, who has scored five goals and is one of the top scorers in the team's history.
England
🚫 England's national team, under the decision of Thomas Tuchel, has undergone significant changes, with players like Phil Foden, Marcus Rashford, and Europa League winner Dominic Solanke not making the squad. Instead, Al-Ahli forward Ivan Toney has been called up. Chelsea's central defender Trevoh Chalobah might make his debut for the national team.
⚽️ Goal Prediction
⚽️ Goal Prediction
Andorra focuses on a defensive style of play, with almost the entire team concentrated on protecting their goal. As a result, no more than three goals have been scored in 22 of their last 23 matches. England, on the other hand, plays pragmatically on the road and tends not to go for blowouts. Considering this, we predict total goals under 3.5.
🚩 Corner Prediction
Andorra plays strictly defensively, rarely pushing the pace and seldom allowing opponents much freedom. In their last eight matches, there have been no more than 9 corners. England also adopts a pragmatic approach in official away games, with no more than 9 corners in five consecutive matches. Given the playing styles of both teams, we anticipate a low-corner match and predict total corners under 9.5.
Editorial Prediction
England clearly have the upper hand in terms of quality, but predicting the nature of this match is tricky—especially considering Tuchel's cautious approach, which often emphasizes possession and defensive discipline. It's entirely possible that the English team might settle for a narrow victory; even a 1-0 scoreline wouldn't be surprising and could disrupt most bets on high-scoring outcomes. However, there's an interesting trend regarding corners: under 9.5 corners has been a winning bet in eight consecutive matches for Andorra, as well as in England's last five away games. We consider this the most logical choice and select it as the main bet for the match.Let's start our Daily Laugh today. Gyokeres & Sesko Do I join them?
