Andorra – Serbia

The Serbian national team will try to redeem itself for the defeat against Albania.

The Andorra national team faces the Serbian team at the most dangerous time for themselves. The opponent is extremely frustrated. The charges of Dragan Stojkovic, who has been in charge of the national team for 4.5 years, suffered a severe defeat in their first match of October. They played against Albania at home and were hoping to win against their direct competitors. It is also worth mentioning the political aspect of this confrontation. A victory for the Serbs would make them the favourites in the race for second place in Group K, where England is unchallenged in the lead. However, they not only failed to win against the Albanians but even couldn't score a single point against them. The nightmarish defeat dropped the Serbs to third place in the standings, four points behind Albania. Now, to finish at least in second place, Stojkovic's team needs to beat their remaining three opponents, including England away. They are also banking on the Albanians losing to the English in Tirana. Overall, the odds look extremely low, but Serbia needs to 'crush' Andorra with a confident score to regain confidence in their own abilities. Bookmakers have made the guests the favourites for the upcoming match, offering odds of 1.15 on their victory. Andorra was initially the weakest representative of Group K. Last year in the Nations League, this team finished last in their group of the weakest division, failing to score a single goal in four matches against Malta and Moldova. Andorra also did not score in five matches of the current World Cup qualifying phase before Saturday's match against Latvia. In that match, the Andorrans made a real breakthrough, scoring two goals and earning their first point in a long time. Of course, the roots of such success should be sought more in the weakness and unpreparedness of the Latvia team than in any improvement in Andorra's play. The Serbs have already beaten Andorra in this qualifying round. That match in the city of Leskovac ended with a score of 3:0, with Aleksandar Mitrovic scoring a hat-trick. The same Mitrovic who recently played unsuccessfully for 63 minutes against Albania and was substituted for Jovic. Let's bet that the motivated guests will confidently achieve another victory over the national team of the dwarf country.
