England’s clash with Andorra is probably the most uncompetitive game that the Three Lions will face on their way to the 2022 World Cup.
Their first game after their Euro 2020 heartbreak brought a 4-0 thumping over a Hungary side who equipped themselves well in the summer. Facing one of Europe’s minnows at Wembley shouldn’t be too trying for Southgate’s men.
We’ve done our best to get value on the 1/80 favourites in our England vs Andorra predictions, while below you can find our 37/1 bet builder tip for Sunday’s clash.

Over 5.5 goals
England’s impressive showing against Hungary brought four goals away from home, so Andorra’s defence should be worried about what awaits them this week. Their last visit to these shores brought a 6-0 loss in 2009 and this clash is likely to go the same way.
England didn’t face any of the traditional minnows in their last qualifying campaign, but they still scored 37 goals in only eight games. Expect them to rack up the goals against Andorra on Sunday.
Both teams to score – No
The Three Lions look strong going forward, but they’ve conceded only two goals in their last 10 internationals. With Andorra scoring just once in their last four away trips we’re backing them to fail to score at at England side who have conceded in only three of their last 14 home qualifiers.
Jack Grealish & Bukayo Saka to score
Gareth Southgate is likely to shuffle his pack against Andorra, with Bukayo Saka likely to feature for the Three Lions. He impressed enough at the Euros to earn a starting spot and he’s likely to be allowed to push forward more against Andorra, so back Saka to find the net in this clash.
Meanwhile, this is an opportunity for Jack Grealish to move from creator to scorer after playing a key role against Hungary. The Man City man has already found the net for his new club this term and I’m backing him to grab a goal against this Andorra side.
Marc Vales to be booked
Andorra are missing two key men through suspension this weekend. Marc Pujol and Jordi Alaez have picked up two bookings in their opening three qualifiers. The only man who matches their intensity is Marc Vales, who has made 2.8 fouls per game in this group.
The midfielder is likely to be busy up against whoever Gareth Southgate turns to in attack, so we’re backing Vales to pick up a booking at Wembley.
