England travel to Barcelona's RCDE Stadium to take on Andorra in a 2026 World Cup qualifier this Saturday. England currently sit at the top of their qualifying group after winning their first two matches in March, while Andorra unsurprisingly fell to defeat in both of their games in the same month.
So, can Andorra spring any kind of surprise this weekend, or will this be business as usual for the Three Lions?
Andorra vs England Head-to-Head and Key Numbers
- England's record is, unsurprisingly, a strong one when it comes to games against Andorra. They've played them six times dating back to 2006 and have won all six games. More to the point, they've never conceded against Andorra and have scored 25 goals in return.
- England won their first two matches under new boss Thomas Tuchel in March. However, their wins over Albania and Latvia certainly weren't spectacular, beating Albania 2-0 and Latvia 3-0.
- Andorra were, unfortunately, beaten by the same two sides England brushed aside in March, suggesting just how large the gap between these two sides is. They have lost three of their last four, and have only scored two goals in their last six, both against hapless San Marino.
- Thomas Tuchel has called upon a slightly changed squad for these internationals, with two uncapped players - goalkeeper James Trafford and defender Trevoh Chalobah - both included. Major omissions include Harry Maguire, Phil Foden, and Jack Grealish.
- If England captain Harry Kane plays in this game, not only will he be hoping to extend his record of 71 international goals, but he will also draw level on caps with Bobby Charlton and Frank Lampard, making him the joint seventh-most capped player in England history.
Andorra vs England Prediction
England did not look entirely convincing in their wins over Latvia and Albania in March, but Andorra are on an even lower level than those opponents. Therefore, a win for the Three Lions is a given here.
The big question will be around how many goals Thomas Tuchel's side can score, with the best-case scenario being a proverbial cricket score. That may not happen as Tuchel may shuffle his pack here, but a comfortable win for England is likely regardless.
Prediction: Andorra 0-4 England
