Thomas Tuchel England get two perfect records wey dem wan protect as Andorra go land for Villa Park on Saturday for Group K World Cup 2026 Qualifier.
Di Three Lions dey top di table but dem don still make some negative history last time out, while Andorra dey struggle as usual with little resistance.
Match Preview
Plenty people don dey doubt Tuchel after just four games as England coach, and e get reason. Three months ago, Senegal shock dem for City Ground with 3-1 win – na di first time ever African nation beat England and only di second time England lose home game by two or more goals after dem first score.
Before dat, England manage slim 1-0 win away to Andorra – even though e still give dem three wins from three plus three clean sheets.
Dem also beat Albania and Latvia without concede, but fans still dey complain say di team no dey blow opponents away, like dem expect after Gareth Southgate waka.
But England World Cup qualifier record dey strong. Dem never lose any qualifier since 2009 when Ukraine beat dem, and dem last home defeat for WC prelims na 25 years ago against Germany.
Meanwhile, Andorra story dey different. After four games, dem sit bottom of Group K with zero points, zero goals. Dem don lose to England, Serbia, Albania and Latvia without score.
Even though qualification still dey mathematically possible, reality be say dem no get hope. For last 10 matches, dem only win San Marino and fail to score for nine other games.
History sef dey against dem – Andorra don lose all seven games against England with 26 goals conceded and none scored. But dem small 1-0 loss in June na di first time dem no concede plenty goals against England.
