Our prediction for the match Gibraltar vs Andorra
“Team-54” has recently joined the list of the FIFA and UEFA members (despite all the discussions about whether such enclaves can even have a national team). There are no such questions about Andorra – it is a tiny country with incomplete sovereignty, but with a huge history.
What both teams have in common is an extremely limited resource potential – they represent small territories with a small population, and there is simply no one to recruit footballers from. As a result, the teams have to invite semi-professionals, at best, or even put in amateurs, who do not train every day because of their main job. It is remarkable that the scouts try to find those who have some roots that allow naturalization.
The results of the opponents are expected: official matches are lost. Gibraltar lost all 8 matches of the last year’s Euro qualification, and 2 more failures happened (with the same 0-1 score) in the struggles with Lithuania in the spring play-offs. As for “the Tricolor”, the team at least took 2 points in 10 qualifying matches. This year, the “dry” defeats made by Bolivia, Spain and Northern Ireland were combined with a 1-1 draw in the confrontation with South Africa. However, “Team-54” finally stopped the losing streak, holding out at a 0-0 result in the meeting with Gibraltar.
