England hosts Andorra in round 5 of the World Cup qualification. The match will be played on Sunday, September 5th at Wembley Stadium (London)
England leads the Group I standings after four rounds. The vice-champions of Europe have 12 points. English footballers have confirmed their status as favorites in the qualifying group so far. The team of the Three Lions showed a powerful start in the spring. Southgate’s men destroyed San Marino at home (5-0), won the away match against Albania (0-2), and defeated Poland at home (2-1). On September 2, the British left no chance for the Hungarians in Budapest (0-4). The defense of the Hungarian national team cracked in the 55th minute —Peter Gulacsi was upset by Raheem Sterling, after which the British scored three more goals through the efforts of Harry Kane, Harry Maguire, and Declan Rice.

Andorra takes 5th place in the standings (three points after four matches). The Tricolors are considered one of the weakest national teams in Europe, so their unsuccessful start in the qualification was expected. Koldo Alvarez’s men did not score a single point in the spring matches, losing to Albania (0-1), Poland (3-0), and Hungary (1-4). Andorra managed to break the streak of defeats on September 2 in a home match against another outsider of the group, San Marino (2-0). The outcome of the game was decided by midfielder Marc Vales, who scored a double by the 24th minute.
There is no intrigue in the upcoming match. The Englishmen, who have an overwhelming advantage in the class of footballers, must confidently beat the group outsider at home. It will be a historic achievement for Andorrans to score against the vice-champions of the continent at Wembley, but such an event is hardly possible. The question is how many goals the Three Lions will score. Andorrans regularly suffer devastating defeats from the top national teams away. They lost twice to Portugal (0-6 in the 2018 World Cup qualifiers and 0-7 in the friendly match in November 2020) and were weaker than the reserve squad of France in the Euro 2020 qualification (0-3). The hosts will probably beat Andorra with a large goal difference.
Prediction for the match: England to win with -4.5 handicap
