[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]
[p]Qualifying for the World Cup has typically been a straightforward task for England, who have successfully negotiated the qualification stage for the last seven World Cups. They’re already well on their way to booking their spot at the 2026 edition too, having won all three of their qualifiers so far without conceding a single goal. New boss Thomas Tuchel is looking to finally end England’s 60-year wait for a major international trophy, and his experimental squad look good value to take the next small step on the road here given the quality of the opposition, and the fact they’re unbeaten in 30 home WCQ games (W27, D3). [/p]
[p]While England are major tournament regulars, Andorra have unsurprisingly never qualified for a World Cup or European Championship before. Barring a minor miracle in this WCQ cycle, the fourth-lowest FIFA-ranked UEFA nation will be crashing out at this stage once again having lost their first four games in this cycle without scoring a single goal. Losing every game in a WCQ campaign without scoring a goal isn’t unusual for Andorra, who did so in their attempts to reach the 2010 and 2014 finals, and with a dismal historical WCQ record (W4, D3, L59), they should take another step closer to that ignominy here. [/p]
