Andorra - Malta team news and expert analysis
Andorra’s national team struggled even in the previous edition of the tournament. In four matches against their current opponents and Moldova, they picked up just one point. They collected the same number of points across eight World Cup qualifying matches. However, in their 2026 friendlies, despite suffering three defeats, they drew with San Marino and finally secured a long-awaited victory over Liechtenstein.
Malta finished second in that three-team Nations League group last time out, but then lost both playoff matches against Luxembourg in March, going down 0-5 on aggregate. In World Cup qualifying, however, they collected five points and, after finishing above Lithuania, ended up second from bottom in the group. In the summer, they lost 1-2 to Slovakia but beat Azerbaijan in a friendly.
Lopez and company scored 1.3 goals per game, a high figure by their standards, but still conceded more — 1.5 per match. The islanders averaged 1.1 goals scored and exactly two conceded per game.
