World Cup Qualifier – England vs Andorra: Betting Preview

For the first time since the Euro 2020 final, England step foot onto the Wembley turf for a 2022 World Cup qualifier against Andorra on Sunday evening.

A 4-0 win over Hungary last week maintained England’s 100% record in Group I. The Three Lions have made easy work of their opponents, scoring 13 goals and conceding just once in four games. They currently hold a five-point lead at the top of the table with a maximum of 12 points.

For Andorra, meanwhile, it’s almost the complete opposite. Upon losing their first three games, the Tricolours struck points at the fourth attempt in a 2-0 win over San Marino last week. The three points moved them up to fifth place in Group I, albeit four points adrift from a World Cup play-off spot for Qatar.

Let’s have a look at the form of both sides and the stats from their previous encounters to come up with a reasonable betting prediction.
