World Cup – Andorra vs England: Betting Preview

England visit Andorra as the heavy favorites for a 2022 World Cup qualifying clash on Saturday.

Despite a fire breaking out at the 3,300 capacity Estadi Nacional on Friday, the match will go ahead. Therefore, Andorra hope to make home advantage count and regain crucial ground. The Tricolours are down in fifth-place in Group I, having collected only 3 points from 6 games.

Getting even a point against the runaway Group I leaders England, however, is a big ask. The Three Lions are unbeaten after 6 games, with 5 wins and 1 draw handing them 15 points so far.

Top goalscorer

Goals are the way to go for this one, and England certainly don’t lack any goalscorers in this department. Given the risks of Andorra’s pitch, there is a chance Gareth Southgate will play it safe and rest Harry Kane – who has struggled with ankle injuries in the past.

This could give Ollie Watkins or Tammy Abraham a chance to be the main man, while Raheem Sterling and Jesse Lingard could be worth a punt in the goalscoring markets.
