Sports Innovation previews the World Cup qualifier between Andorra and England and offers team stats, betting tips and the latest odds.

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.

Form Andorra vs England

The Tricolours out to end dismal run of form.

Andorra hope to end their dismal run of form in recent matches. Koldo Álvarez’s side have been a bit bleak in their last 3 matches, although it started with a 2-0 against San Marino. Unable to follow that up, they went down 4-0 against England, before handing over all 3 points in a 2-1 defeat against Hungary.

Three Lions in excellent form.

England will be out to extend their fine run of results lately. In their last 3 matches, Gareth Southgate’s side cruised to back-to-back 4-0 wins over Hungary and Andorra before drawing 1-1 with Poland last time out.

Andorra vs England – Fixture history

The last match between these teams was a World Cup qualifier back in 5 September 2021 and saw England claim a 4-0 victory. The Three Lions have been the dominant force in this fixture, winning 5 times in 5 matches against Andorra.

Standings in World Cup

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.
