Simon Dalton presents his prediction for the 2026 World Cup Qualifiers match.
An unexpected goalless draw against Albania has left Serbia in a precarious position. They now need a convincing win at home over group K minnows Andorra to head into the September fixtures with renewed confidence in the race for a top-two spot.
Serbia
Despite drawing several recent matches, Serbia have lost only twice in their last 11 games and remain unbeaten in five consecutive matches since November. In the stalemate against Albania, they were spared defeat by Djordje Petrovic, who saved a penalty from Rey Manaj and made four additional stops. On Tuesday, the coaching staff may consider moving away from the attacking duo of Dušan Vlahović and Aleksandar Mitrović. Back in March, the squad secured a 3:1 victory over Austria with only the Juventus striker leading the line.
Andorra
Andorra earned praise for their resilient performance against England, narrowly losing 0:1. However, they were arguably fortunate, benefiting from the favourites’ poor finishing and lack of urgency. England scored just once from 3.35 xG despite dominating possession with an 83–17 % advantage. The challenge will be significantly tougher in Belgrade — in March, Andorra conceded three without reply away to Albania.
Serbia vs Andorra Prediction
This will be the first-ever meeting between Serbia and Andorra, and the hosts are widely expected to claim a comfortable victory. With superior quality and experience across all areas, Serbia should have little trouble asserting control and securing the result.
