Andorra vs England, FIFA World Cup 2026 Qualifiers, Today Match Prediction

Andorra vs England Match Prediction & Analysis

Andorra faces a daunting challenge against England in their 2026 World Cup qualifier on Saturday, June 7, at the RCDE Stadium in Barcelona. As hosts, Andorra hopes to rebound from two opening defeats, currently sitting at the bottom of Group K. England, under manager Thomas Tuchel, tops the group with two wins from two matches. 

Despite some squad selection concerns for Tuchel, England are overwhelming favorites, boasting a five-match winning streak and four consecutive clean sheets. Tuchel might experiment with his talented squad, potentially featuring Bukayo Saka and Cole Palmer, who missed earlier wins. 

With Harry Kane leading the attack, England's potent offense is expected to exploit Andorra's defensive vulnerabilities, as Andorra has only managed three clean sheets in their last 25 games. England has scored four or more goals in their last three encounters with the Tricolors. The significant gap in class suggests a tough outing for Andorra.

TEAMS PREVIEW

Andorra Preview

The Andorra national team continues to be one of the weakest in international football. Since 2023, their sole victory was a 2-0 friendly win against San Marino in late 2024. Their UEFA Nations League campaign saw significant struggles, including two defeats to Moldova and a loss and a draw against Malta, leaving them at the bottom of Group D2 with four points.  In their current 2026 World Cup qualifiers, they've started with two goalless losses: 0-1 to Latvia and 0-2 to Albania, highlighting their offensive and defensive shortcomings.

Ranked 173rd globally, Andorra's recent form is grim, with only one win in their last 25 competitive fixtures—against San Marino. They have failed to score in their subsequent four matches. 

Furthermore, Andorra has lost all six previous competitive encounters against England, conceding multiple goals in each and failing to score themselves. They haven't scored in their last 12 matches across all competitions and have won just 6 of their last 106. Their last five home games have all been defeats, with an average of 2.00 goals conceded per game.

Captain Marc Vales, set to reach 100 caps, will bear increased attacking responsibility, with Iker Alvarez in goal. These absences further diminish Andorra's hopes of a monumental upset.

Andorra probable starting lineup: Alvarez (Gk); Borra, San Nicolas, Llovera, Olivera, M. Garcia; Rodrigo, Vales, Babot, Cervos; Fernandez

England Preview

The England national team continues to cement its status as a European football powerhouse. After reaching the Euro 2020 final and the 2022 World Cup quarterfinals, they were Euro 2024 runners-up. Their strong form continued in the 2024/25 Nations League, topping their group with five wins from six matches.

Under new manager Thomas Tuchel, England began their 2026 World Cup qualification with impressive 2-0 and 3-0 victories over Albania and Latvia respectively, keeping clean sheets in both. 

Extending Lee Carsley's earlier work, England now boasts five consecutive wins across all competitions, scoring at least two goals in each triumph and maintaining clean sheets in their last three. They also have a 12-game scoring streak in competitive matches. 

England remains undefeated in their last 32 WC Qualification UEFA matches, and in 57 of their last 64 away matches across all competitions. They have won by two or more goals in their last five outings and average 2.50 goals per game, showcasing their consistent dominance. 

England probable starting lineup: Pickford (Gk); Alexander-Arnold, Konsa, Colwill, Lewis-Skelly; Rice, Bellingham; Palmer, Eze, Gordon; Kane
