2026 FIFA World Cup Qualifiers: Andorra vs England

Andorra host England in a bottom-vs-top Group K clash in 2026 FIFA World Cup Qualifying.

Victory by two goals or more would see Latvia jump into third above Latvia before Serbia visit Albania in the evening kick-off.

England will stay top of the group if they avoid defeat, although a win would guarantee them top spot irrespective of what Albania do in their two matches this month.

 

Team News

Andorra have no fresh injury concerns to report with a full squad in contention.

England have a full squad available with James Trafford and Trevoh Chalobah both looking for their first senior international caps.

 

When is Kick-Off?

Andorra meet England at RCDE Stadium, Barcelona, Spain, on Saturday 7 June at 6pm CEST (5pm UK Time), live on ITV1 and ITVX in the UK.

The reason behind the game’s move to Barcelona is due to no venue in Andorra being suitable to host England.

 

Stat Attack

  • Andorra have lost all four previous World Cup qualifiers against England (L4).
  • England have won each of their last two away World Cup qualifier games against Andorra without conceding (W2), during which they scored five goals.
  • Andorra have lost all six previous meetings against England without scoring a single goal in all competitions (W6).
  • Andorra have failed to score in their last four games in all competitions (D1, L3).
  • Harry Kane has scored in each of England’s last three matches (W3).

 

Prediction

With just two goals scored in one of their last ten matches, Andorra certainly need a huge defensive performance and a clinical end product to just try and snatch any point as this is simply a ‘throw everything at kitchen sink and hope for best’ type game.

England meanwhile are favourites but after two clinical yet uninspiring wins over Albania and Latvia in March, I now want to see more of Thomas Tuchel’s style come to the surface if they’re to challenge for the World Cup – as those two performances still felt Gareth Southgate like.

Andorra however does look like a team just there for the taking and with England’s quality, it is easy to expect a five-goal demolition at minimum but I expect them to make it harder than it should be despite getting the win.

Prediction: Andorra 0-3 England

Result: Andorra 0-1 England
