England face Andorra in a World Cup 2026 qualifier at Villa Park on Saturday. The match begins at 5pm BST. Thomas Tuchel’s side are top of Group K with a perfect record. Andorra sit bottom with no points and no goals.
England have won all seven previous meetings against Andorra. They scored 26 goals in those games without conceding. The Three Lions are strong favorites to extend their run.
England vs Andorra Prediction and Team News
England suffered a shock home defeat to Senegal in June. It was the first time an African nation beat them. Still, they remain unbeaten in this qualifying campaign. Victories over Andorra, Albania, and Latvia gave them nine points from three games.
Tuchel’s squad has injury concerns. John Stones left camp with a muscle issue. Adam Wharton also pulled out. Djed Spence and Elliot Anderson earned first senior call-ups. Harry Kane will captain the side and is set for his 108th cap.
Andorra bring experience but limited quality. Marc Pujol, 43, leads the team with 122 caps. Marc Vales is set for his 101st appearance. Goalkeeper Iker Alvarez plays in Spain’s second division. The team have not scored in their last four qualifiers.
Why England Hold the Advantage
England’s World Cup qualifying record is remarkable. They have not lost a qualifier since 2009. At home, they last lost in 2000 to Germany. According to BBC Sport, the Three Lions often breeze through the group stage.
Andorra’s record shows why England are expected to dominate. They have one win in their last ten games. That victory came against San Marino. Against stronger teams, they struggle to even create chances.
Tuchel may rotate his squad. He could rest stars for tougher games ahead. Even with changes, England’s depth should overwhelm Andorra. Expect goals once the first breakthrough arrives.
Expected Lineups and Score Prediction
Possible England XI: Henderson; Livramento, Guehi, Burn, Spence; Rice, Henderson; Bowen, Rogers, Rashford; Kane.
Possible Andorra XI: Alvarez; Borra, Olivera, Llovera, San Nicolas, M. Garcia; Martinez, Vales, Rebes, Cervos; Fernandez.
Prediction: England 4-0 Andorra. The Three Lions are likely to dominate possession. Their attack will test Andorra’s deep defensive line. Once the first goal comes, more should follow.
England vs Andorra prediction points to a clear home win. The gap between the teams is huge. Tuchel will want a confident display before tougher tests.
