Andorra vs Serbia Match Preview
Serbia’s World Cup qualifying campaign has gone a bit sideways lately, and now they really need a win to stay in the mix. A trip to Andorra might sound easy on paper, but the hosts have been stubborn at home lately, keeping things tight and frustrating bigger teams.
Let’s break down the form, stats, and betting angles for this one.
Form Guide
Andorra haven’t exactly been winning games, but they’ve become experts at making opponents work for it. Their last five home matches all ended in 1-0 defeats, showing how tough they can be defensively. Recently, they’ve managed back-to-back away draws, including a solid 2-2 in Latvia and a 0-0 stalemate in Estonia.
Serbia, on the other hand, have hit a real slump. They’ve only scored four goals in five qualifiers, and their last two home games were painful — a 5-0 thrashing by England and a 1-0 loss to Albania. Those results left them sitting third in the group and four points off second place.
Head-to-Head
There’s not a long history between these two, but it’s safe to say Serbia are the stronger side on paper. Still, given Serbia’s current struggles in front of goal and Andorra’s stubborn defense at home, this might not be the walk in the park many expect.
Team News
Andorra will likely stick with their usual defensive setup, packing bodies behind the ball and hoping for a set-piece or counterattack. No major injuries have been reported.
Serbia’s camp is dealing with low morale after recent defeats, but expect their stars — Aleksandar Mitrović and Dušan Tadić — to lead the line once again. Their defense, though, has looked shaky, and that’s something the manager will want to fix quickly.
Players to Watch
-
Aleksandar Mitrović (Serbia): The striker’s physical presence could be key against Andorra’s deep defensive line. Serbia will be counting on him to finally get their attack firing again.
-
Marc Vales (Andorra): A defensive leader who’ll have his hands full keeping Mitrović quiet but has been a rock for the hosts.
Prediction
This could be another frustrating night for Serbia. Andorra are used to sitting deep and grinding out results, and Serbia’s recent form suggests they might not run away with this. Expect a narrow game — possibly another 1-0 win for Serbia, or even a tight draw if they struggle to break through.
Predicted Score: Andorra 0-1 Serbia
Betting Tips
-
Main Bet: Serbia to win & Under 2.5 goals ✅

Long Shot: Draw at halftime ✅
Andorra’s home record of narrow defeats and Serbia’s goal drought make the under 2.5 goals bet the smart pick here.
Wrap Up
Serbia desperately need a result to keep their qualifying hopes alive, but this isn’t the easy fixture it used to be. Andorra have proven they can make life miserable for visiting teams, and unless Serbia rediscover their finishing touch, expect another grind rather than a goal fest.
