Overview
It is not surprising that Andorra - the team ranked only 173th in the world - lost all 2 matches in the first 2 matches in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers. They lost to Latvia and Albania.
Andorra have now gone 17 matches without a win in official tournaments. Specifically, they have suffered 13 defeats and had 4 draws.
They have even gone through a 2-year period of failed to score in official tournaments, with their last goal coming in a 1-2 loss to Israel in June 2023.
Compared to their opponents, England are of course rated higher in all aspects. Thomas Tuchel's side have made an impressive start to the 2026 World Cup qualifiers with back-to-back wins over Albania and Latvia.
These results also extended the "Three Lions" winning streak in all competitions to 5, along with victories against Finland, Greece and Ireland.
In the above 5 matches, England scored a total of 16 goals, achieving an efficiency of more than 3 goals/match. Their defensive ability is also very solid, with only 1 goal conceded and 4 clean sheets.
In this call-up, Tuchel continues to call up a very strong and even squad, spanning across lines such as Harry Kane, Cole Palmer, Jude Bellingham, Declan Rice and Trent Alexander-Arnold.
England's valuable squad is clearly at a much higher level than that of an almost unknown Andorra.
England have won their previous six meetings with Andorra, most recently in the 2022 World Cup qualifiers.
Personnel situation
Andorra head coach Alvarez is expected to continue using the same lineup as in the first two matches.
On the other side of the front line, Trevoh Chalobah may make his England debut after being called up for the first time. However, Marcus Rashford will be absent due to injury.
Expected lineup:
Andorra: Alvarez, Llovera, Nicolas, C. Garcia, Olivera, M. Garcia, Rubio, Rebes, Vales, Cervos, Martinez.
Anh: Pickford, Alexander-Arnold, Konsa, Colwill, Lewis-Skelly, Bellingham, Rice, Rogers, Eze, Saka, Kane.
The match between Andorra and England takes place at 23:00 on June 7 (Vietnam time).
