England Preview – Three Lions to cruise to three points
Gareth Southgate’s England have been the real deal in 2022 World Cup qualifying up until now, winning four out of four. In the process, the Three Lions have chalked up 13 goals and shipped only one.
After the heartache of the UEFA Euro 2020 penalty shootout final defeat to Italy, England returned to action with an impressive performance against Hungary on Thursday night. The Three Lions silenced the 60,000 fans in Budapest with a comfortable 4-0 win, with Raheem Sterling, Harry Kane, Harry Maguire and Declan Rice getting the goals.
England kicked off their qualifying campaign back in March with three straight wins. After seeing off San Marino and Albania, Southgate’ side edged past Poland at Wembley, with Kane and Maguire on target. Three points on Sunday will see the English put one foot in next year’s World Cup in Qatar.
Andorra Preview – Heavy defeat for the Andorrans
Along with San Marino, Andorra are the weak links in Group I. To their credit, though, they did get the better of San Marino on Thursday night, with Sandefjord defender Marc Vales scoring both goals in a 2-0 win at the Estadi Nacional in Andorra la Vella.
They kicked off their qualifying campaign back in March with three straight defeats, losing 1-0 at home to Albania in game one. Andorra were beaten 3-0 by Poland in Warsaw on matchday two and lost 4-1 to Hungary on home turf three days later.

Koldo Alvarez’s Andorra will certainly enjoy the occasion, but this should be a walk in the park for England. The visitors will be hoping to keep the score as low as possible at Wembley.
England vs Andorra Betting Advice
This will be the first meeting between England and Andorra since the pair locked horns at Wembley in a 2010 World Cup qualifier way back in June 2009. The Three Lions were big 6-0 winners on the day, with Wayne Rooney (2), Jermaine Defoe (2), Frank Lampard and Peter Crouch getting the goals.
These two have met four times before, with England winning them all. Overall, the English have scored 16 and conceded none.
Key Facts – England vs Andorra Betting Tip
- England have won the previous four meetings without conceding
- The Three Lions have taken 12 points from a possible 12 so far
- Andorra’s win in midweek was their first victory since October 2019
These two teams are worlds apart when it comes to ability on the pitch. England will no doubt move on to 15 points, but how many will they win by on Sunday? We like the look of the hosts to win -4 at 5/6.
Southgate could make 11 changes this weekend, so backing the first goalscorer before the lineups have been announced will be tricky. However, Arsenal’s Bukayo Saka is likely to play a part, and the 19-year-old is available at 5/6 to score anytime in this one.
