England and Andorra meet for the eighth time in history and the second in three months. Villa Park in Birmingham hosts this crucial FIFA World Cup 2026 qualifier, and you can follow all the action live from 17:00 BST on Saturday.
The Three Lions have never lost to the Tricolours in a run stretching back to September 2006. The hosts boast a 100% record and have yet to concede a goal in this fixture. Will that continue here? Traders working at major sportsbooks certainly believe so, pricing a home win as the red-hot favourite. Football bettors can follow the form and side with England in Birmingham or try their luck on a first win for Andorra at a big price.

Back a strong start for England
With a strong home win expected, we're backing England to land a crucial three points, edging them closer to qualification. As the Three Lions are expected to get the job done in style, there's not much to get excited about in the match-winner market. A home win is as tight as 1/100, pricing most bettors out of an interest. That quote means for every £100 you stake on England, you'll secure a £1 profit. That doesn't represent value.
We head into the specials searching for higher odds, and we begin with a bet on England -1 goal on the first-half handicap. Thomas Tuchel's men arrive on the back of a shock 3-1 defeat to Senegal in a friendly match in June at the City Ground, Nottingham. Star striker Harry Kane broke the deadlock that night, and with the goal coming inside seven minutes, fans expected the floodgates to open. But Senegal fired back, equalising before the break and wrapping things up with two goals in the second half.
Despite that surprise loss to the Africans, England have played three and won three in this competition so far, scoring six and conceding none. Backing England -1 goal on the handicap would've secured you a profit when the home team beat Latvia 3-0 and Albania 2-0. I expect more of the same in their return to action. Add England -1 first-half handicap to your weekend accumulators.
Tip: England -1 first-half handicap @ 1/2 (bet365)
Bet explanation: You need England to be winning by two or more goals at the end of 45 minutes.
Andorra's challenge will end early
Andorra travel to the United Kingdom, knowing the size of the task that awaits them. The visitors are currently ranked 174th in the world by FIFA and have been no higher than 125th in their history. They start rock bottom of Group K following four defeats in their opening four matches, scoring no goals and conceding eight. Those stats do little to inspire confidence in a giant-killing on Saturday.
Andorra are already four points behind nearest rivals Latvia, and look likely to finish bottom and as the whipping boys of the pile. That'll come as little surprise to followers of international football, but things will get a lot worse here, with England piling pressure on Andorra and their manager, Koldo Alvarez. Putting their first point on the board is the dream here, but I fully expect England to inflict a painful defeat on Andorra before a huge audience.
England - cheered on by a vocal support - will plan to hit the ground running and end the challenge of Andorra as early as possible. The Three Lions will go on the front foot from the opening whistle, and if they score early, as they did last time, it'll get very ugly very fast for the away team. Back the first half to produce at least two goals for both teams combined.
Tip: Over 1.5 first-half goals @ 4/9 (bet365)
Bet explanation: If the first half of this match produces two or more goals from both teams combined, your bet's a winner.
Trust Kane at enhanced odds
Saturday will be a mismatch, with England winning with plenty to spare. There's not much to catch our eye in the betting, but we've already uncovered two decent bets from the specials and hope to finish on a high with our third prediction.
We're backing Harry Kane to score from outside the box. The former Tottenham hitman - ranked amongst the best scorers on Planet Football - bagged the winner when England beat Andorra earlier this summer. He has also set the heather alight in the Bundesliga already this season, scoring six goals in four games.
Kane netted when Bayern Munich beat Stuttgart 2-1 in the German Super Cup, helped himself to a treble in a 6-0 against RB Leipzig in the Bundesliga, and added two more in an unexpectedly tight win over Wehen-Wiesn in the German Cup. The trading team at bet365 boost the odds on Kane to score from outside the box, moving from 6/1 to 7/1.
Tip: Kane to score from outside the box @ 7/1 (bet365)
Bet explanation: If Harry Kane scores from outside the box, you'll be cheering home a profit.
