England welcome Andorra to Villa Park this Saturday in a 2026 World Cup qualifying game.
England already sit top of their qualifying group and look well on course to make it to the tournament in North America next summer. Andorra, meanwhile, are unsurprisingly bottom of the pile.
So will it be business as usual for Thomas Tuchel's team this weekend?
England vs Andorra Head-to-Head and Key Numbers
- England have faced off with Andorra on seven occasions previously, including a game this past June. Unsurprisingly, the Three Lions have won all seven of those games, scoring a total of 26 goals in the process. Andorra have never scored a goal against England.
- It's probably fair to say, however, that the most recent win over Andorra was England's least convincing to date. They needed 50 minutes to score a single goal through captain Harry Kane, and were unable to double their lead against the minnows.
- Of their 66 World Cup qualifying games, Andorra have won just four, while losing 59. Right now, they're ranked 174th in the world, above Chad and below St. Vincent and Grenadines.
- While England will be favoured to win this match, they are coming in on the back of a poor showing against Senegal. That match saw the Three Lions take a 7th minute lead before collapsing to a 1-3 defeat.
- Thomas Tuchel has once again selected a curious squad for this match, with the most surprising pick being midfielder Ruben Loftus-Cheek. The Milan player's last international call-up came way back in November 2018.
England vs Andorra Prediction
To say England will be expected to win this match would be an understatement; anything less than a victory would be a massive surprise and would likely cost Thomas Tuchel his job.
That's unlikely, of course, and so it will probably come down to how many goals England will score. Given their poor showings in June, the Three Lions will probably want to make a statement here, and given they should be more fresh, a victory via wide margin is the prediction.
Prediction: England 5-0 Andorra
