England vs Andorra Prediction, 11:00 p.m. September 6: Firmly in the lead

TPO - Football commentary England vs Andorra, round 4 of Group K of the 2026 World Cup qualifiers, at 11:00 p.m. on September 6 - Information on squad, expected lineup, form, and history of confrontation. For coach Thomas Tuchel and his team, this is not only an opportunity to extend their winning streak but also an affirmation after the shocking stumble against Senegal.

Pre-match comments

Tuchel’s first four games as England manager have been mixed, with the Three Lions maintaining a perfect record in World Cup qualifying but leaving an unforgettable “scar”: a 3-1 defeat to Senegal at the City Ground in June.

This is the first time in history that an African team has defeated England and only the second time that the Three Lions have lost at home by two or more goals after scoring the opening goal. A real shock for English football.

Despite winning all three of their opening Group K matches, including a narrow 1-0 win in Andorra, England were criticised for their unconvincing performances. They beat Albania and Latvia without conceding a goal, but their performance was not particularly explosive.

However, if looking at the statistics, England still has an impressive unbeaten streak in World Cup qualifying: the last time they lost was against Ukraine (2009), and the most recent home defeat was 25 years ago, against Germany.

Meanwhile, Andorra continues to be the "underdog" in Europe. After 4 matches, they have lost to England, Serbia, Albania and Latvia, have not scored a single goal, and are at the bottom of the table with 0 points.

Although in theory they still have a chance to compete for a play-off spot (5 points behind Albania), even the most optimistic Andorra fans find it hard to believe in a miracle. In their last 10 matches in all competitions, they have only won against San Marino and failed to score in the remaining 9.

Form, head-to-head history

Andorra have lost all seven of their previous meetings with England, conceding 26 goals without scoring a single one. However, their 1-0 defeat in June was the first time they have avoided conceding two or more goals against the Three Lions.

Force information

England lost two names Adam Wharton and John Stones due to injury. In return, Djed Spence (Tottenham) and Elliot Anderson (Nottingham Forest) were called up for the first time, possibly making their debuts as coach Tuchel is likely to rotate them to save energy for the match against Serbia.

Harry Kane is about to make his 108th appearance for the national team, equaling the record of legendary Bobby Moore, ranking 5th in the list of most appearances in the history of the England team.

On the Andorra side, coach Koldo Alvarez continues to rely on experienced veterans. Midfielder Marc Pujol, now 43 years old, is still captain and is looking forward to his 123rd match. His partner Marc Vales (35 years old) is also ready to make his 101st appearance, while goalkeeper Iker Alvarez (Cordoba, Spanish Second Division) is the main goalkeeper.

Expected lineup

England (4-2-3-1): D. Henderson; Livramento, Guehi, Burn, Spence; Rice, J. Henderson; Bowen, Rogers, Rashford; Kane

Andorra (5-4-1): Alvarez; Borra, Olivera, Llovera, San Nicolas, M. Garcia; Martinez, M. Vales, M. Rebes, Cervos; R. Fernandez

Score prediction: England 3-0 Andorra
