Our prediction for this match:
Out-of-sorts Andorra will look to give fans some cheer when they face San Marino in a friendly on Sunday. Andorra have been struggling in 2024, with the team losing almost every game this year, but they are still seen as favourites to beat San Marino at Estadi Nacional. A man to watch in the home team will be veteran midfielder Marc Puyol, who has 118 caps for the Andorra national team.
Roberto Cevoli’s men, on the other hand, did remarkably well to beat Liechtenstein 1-0 in September Nations League game, but given their difficulties on the road, we are tempted to bet on Andorra this time out. In their last meeting on the international stage Andorra defeated San Marino 3-0 and you should know that the hosts are eyeing their fourth consecutive win over the Sammarinese. Roberto Cevoli is likely to stick to the 4-3-2-1 formation, with Nanni up front as a lone centre-forward.
Highlighted Team (Andorra):
Andorra national football team played their first official game in 1996, with the team suffering a 6-1 loss to Estonia. The Tricolours have been participating in both European Championship qualifiers and World Cup qualifiers since 2000, but they have yet to make it to the finals of the major tournament.
Andorra have established themselves as a cannon fodder for their rivals, but it has to be noted that they did well to beat Macedonia in the 2006 World Cup qualifier (1-0). The Andorrans play their home games at Estadio Nacional in Andorra la Vella and you should bear in mind that they suffered their biggest defeat in an official match on June 4, 2005 when they were outclassed by Czech Republic in Liberec.
Speaking of their biggest win, the minnows recorded a 2-0 victory over Belarus in a friendly game in Aixovall. The likes of Ildefons Lima and Oscar Sonejee are the most notable footballers who represented Andorra on the international stage.
