Andorra the ultimate minnows

Checking the stats on Andorra throws up no surprises.

They're ranked 173rd in the world - wedged between St Vincent & the Grenadines and Grenada - and their only two wins in the last 25 World Cup qualifiers were against San Marino.

The next obvious question is how heavily do they usually lose by? Two games in 2025 show a 3-0 loss to Albania and a 1-0 defeat to Latvia.

Rewind further and the last time they met anyone half-decent, 20th-ranked Switzerland, they actually did okay, losing 3-0 away and 2-1 at home.

'Home' this time is in Spain as this World Cup qualifier takes place at the RCDE Stadium in Barcelona. If that rings a recent bell, England's Women lost 2-1 to Spain there earlier this week.

Those who follow Spanish football will know it's the home ground of Espanyol. With a 40,000 capacity it allows far more England fans to attend as Andorra's national stadium holds just 3,300.

Gentle start to qualifying for England continues

Thomas Tuchel will surely find out more about his side when they host Senegal at Nottingham Forest's City Ground on Tuesday.

So far with the German at the helm, the Three Lions have scored routine home wins over Albania (2-0) and Latvia (3-0) so victory on Saturday will make it nine points out of nine.

For the record, the Sportsbook goes 1/401.03 England, 75/176.00 Andorra and 25/126.00 The Draw.

England do actually have some head-to-head form against Andorra and it gives us a fair idea of what to expect.

The two teams have met six times and the aggregate score over those games is England 25-0 Andorra.

The most recent were in qualifying for World Cup 2022, England winning 4-0 at home and 5-0 away. The other two away games saw England win 2-0 in 2008 and 3-0 in 2007.

Shutout can form part of Bet Builder

A starting point here is backing England to keep a clean sheet.

They've managed six in six against Andorra and also two in two under Tuchel. Andorra haven't found the net for four games so it will be a genuine shock if they score.

But how many can we expect England to rack up? Tuchel is still trying to find a flow and five goals across two home games with Albania and Latvia was a modest return.

Backing Andorra +4 on the Alternative Handicap at 4/61.67 could be a way in given that the Tricolours rarely get really thumped.

But England could easily rack up four or five so I'm going to get to a 7/42.75 shot on the Bet Builder via some fairly basic asks.

First, England have won both halves of their games against Albania and Latvia so a repeat of that at 4/91.44 gets us going.

Head-to-head history and recent form suggests an England clean sheet is very likely so Both teams to Score 'No' also gets the nod.

And, finally, with this game taking place at a La Liga ground rather than on a less reliable local pitch, England should be able to control and dominate and be secure in their passing in and around the area.

That can translate into chances and keeping the Andorra goalkeeper busy.

Iker Alvarez, who plays in the Spanish second division for Villarreal B, made four saves in the 3-0 loss to Albania in March.

For just one more stop it's 1/21.50 so we'll add that in too.

The three elements work out as a 7/42.75 shot.

Goalscorer prices prohibitive

When Anthony Gordon is odds-on to find the onion bag, we know that the Goalscorer Markets are giving nothing away.

For the record, Gordon has scored only once in 10 England appearances.

Harry Kane is just 3/101.30 to score his 72nd England goal and I'd play that ahead of anything else. Ivan Toney and Ollie Watkins are both 2/51.40. Toney has scored 30 times in 44 games since moving to Saudi by the way.

It's hard to see much here without knowing the starting line-up but if Declan Rice features in a line-up that gives him licence to play high up the pitch he could be an anytime scorer option at 9/43.25.

Mike Norman's Build Ups Tips

Player to have More Shots on Target

Here's something that you don't want to read before supposedly getting 'expert' tips, and that is that I know absolutely nothing about the Andorra players.

But the good news is that we don't need to know anything about Andorra players because using Betfair Build Ups we can pick two England players to go head-to-head in a Match Up bet. But fair play to the guys at Betfair for pricing up some of the opposition. Anyone fancy Max Llovera at 125/1126.00 to have more shots on target than Harry Kane for example? No, me neither!

The first thing to note is that this is a World Cup Qualifier and therefore Thomas Tuchel is likely to field as close to his full strength starting XI as possible, though it is very likely that should England take a commanding lead then attacking players will be substituted.

Harry Kane is likely to be top of the lists of players to be substituted given that England host Senegal in three days time and I'm sure Tuchel will want to test some of his main men against much stronger opposition. But if I'm being honest, it's a bit of a guessing game as to who will get 90 minutes today and who will play on Tuesday.

But I'm happy to take on Kane in a couple of Shots on Target Match Ups on the basis that he won't play the full 90 minutes today, and that because of the weakness of the opposition, England players could be taking shots from all over the place.

After originally putting up Bukayo Saka, only to learn on Saturday morning that he won't play today, I'm happy to take a chance on Jude Bellingham. The Real Madrid man is 3/14.00 to register more shots on target than Kane (4/91.44) and that's definitely a price I'm interested in.

Playing behind the likes of Vinicius Jr, Rodrygo and Killian Mbappe, Bellingham isn't seen as the main goal-getter for Madrid and therefore it's understandable that he doesn't register as many shots as the three prolific attacking players ahead of him. However, he still registered two shots on target in each of his last two games for his club at the end of the La Liga season.

That's a positive sign given those games were against much stronger opposition than he'll face today, and given he's very likely to play much further forward for England than he does for Madrid, there's a chance that he could easily get five or six shots away, and if so then hopefully at least a few of those will be on target, which will give us a big chance of winning this Match Up.

Back Jude Bellingham to have More Shots on Target than Harry Kane

SBK3/1

As for Kane, we know he can rack up some hugely impressive numbers, especially when Bayern Munich are in total control of a football game like England should be later today.

But he's had some poor performances, even when facing weaker opposition. For example, he failed to register a single shot on target in a 3-0 win against Mainz at the end of April despite playing 88 minutes. And he had a particularly poor time in March for his club, registering just two shots on target in three games (over 200 minutes played).

So while we all know how good Kane is, how prolific he can be, and the fact that he'll be rubbing his hands at the thought of facing Andorra today, there is a chance that he won't have it all his own way, especially if England's other attackers (hopefully Bellingham) have the same mindset and fancy their chances of having pops at goal.

Also in that category will hopefully be Declan Rice, who is very likely to play the full 90 minutes today. If he does, then at 8/19.00 he's another player worth chancing to have more shots on target than Kane (2/91.22).

This is a player who had four shots on target in his last three Premier League games for Arsenal, and I can just envisage him picking the ball up in midfield, striding forward and having plenty of space and time to get some shots away. Hopefully a few will be on target and Kane will have an off day. You never know.
