The World Cup 2026 qualifying clash between Andorra and England takes place on Saturday, 07 June 2025. Although the match is billed as an away fixture for England, it will actually be played in Spain. Kick-off is set for 18:00 CEST (UK time 17:00 BST), making it a perfect early-evening treat for fans across Europe.
Coming between England’s previous qualifier and their home friendly against Senegal on Tuesday, this game represents a chance for both sides to build momentum. For England, it’s an opportunity to rack up goals and reinforce their credentials as one of Europe’s top outfits. For Andorra, it’s a stern test against a side ranked more than 150 places above them in the FIFA standings.
How are both teams coming into this?
Andorra sit 173rd in the world and have yet to qualify for a major tournament. Their two qualifiers so far have ended in defeats: 1-0 to Latvia and 3-0 to Albania. While closing out those scorelines showed some defensive discipline, the lack of firepower up front has been glaring. Head coach Koldo Alverez will need a tactical masterclass if Andorra are to keep England at bay.
England, by contrast, remain among the heavyweights of European football. They enjoyed a solid start to this qualifying campaign, demonstrating clinical finishing and a well-organized back line. Confidence is high within the squad, and the Three Lions will view this as an ideal opportunity to hone their approach before more challenging fixtures lie ahead.
Our forecast
We’re backing England to secure a comfortable victory here. Their superior squad depth and attacking talent should prove too much for Andorra, who are likely to sit deep and try to frustrate. Expect England to control possession and create a flurry of chances.
Andorra’s defensive resilience might limit the scoreline somewhat, but England’s quality in the final third should still tell. A winning margin of three or more goals wouldn’t be a surprise, and this match could see England’s forwards extending their scoring runs in qualifying.
