Tuchel is having a promising start with the England national team. |
Match preview: Andorra vs England
England are off to a perfect start in Group K of the 2026 World Cup qualifiers in Europe, winning both of their matches against Albania and Latvia, scoring five goals and conceding none. Although the impact of new coach Thomas Tuchel hasn't been particularly strong yet, the Three Lions haven't faced many difficulties as their opponents have been relatively weak.
Tonight, England are poised for their third consecutive win as they visit Andorra, the weakest team in Group K. In contrast to England, Andorra lost both of their previous two matches against Albania and Latvia, failing to score a single goal and conceding four. These statistics clearly show the vast gap between the two teams.
Notably, this is England's only official match in June. After this game, they will return home for a friendly against Senegal. This means that manager Thomas Tuchel can field his strongest team even though their opponent is only Andorra. The German coach is under some pressure to introduce a new style to the Three Lions. It's worth noting that Tuchel hasn't used his preferred 3-4-2-1 formation in his first two matches. This is an opportunity for him to experiment if he wants to.
Tuchel's use of the 4-2-3-1 formation surprised many. Under Gareth Southgate, England were accustomed to a three-defender system. Many believed the English Football Association chose Tuchel because he was a master of this system – culminating in the 2021 Champions League victory with Chelsea. However, the German coach seemed in no hurry. England's dominance in Group K gave Tuchel ample time to assess his new players before choosing the most suitable system.
Playing away against Andorra, England are expected to secure three points easily. Perhaps this will be the main objective for Thomas Tuchel's team. Simply winning isn't enough; the Three Lions need to win convincingly and score as many goals as possible. Andorra are ranked only 173rd in the FIFA rankings and have won just one of their last 25 matches. That victory came against San Marino – one of the weakest national teams in the world .
The voice of the past also favors the English. The two teams have met a total of six times, with Andorra losing all six matches and never scoring against the Three Lions.
