ENGLAND will be looking to take a huge stride towards sealing their passage to the 2022 World Cup when they take on Andorra on Saturday night.
Gareth Southgate's team do not appear to be suffering any lingering hangover from their Euro 2020 heartbreak, with the Three Lions firmly in the Group I driving seat.
England won each of their opening five qualifiers before playing out a 1-1 draw with Poland last month, on a night where both of my Warsaw wagers copped.
That undefeated sequence means Southgate's side sit at the summit of the section with a four point point buffer over second-placed Albania and they should secure another three points with little issue at lowly Andorra.
The Andorrans did pick up their first points of their own World Cup qualification campaign with a 2-0 win over San Marino last month but that was just their fourth competitive victory since their debut on the international stage in 1996
However, normal service would resume in a 4-0 loss to England last month and Koldo Alvarez's minnows could suffer a similar fate when the Three Lions arrive in Andorra la Vella this weekend.
Outright Betting
Andorra come into this game unbeaten in their last two home matches but the hosts are huge underdogs here at 94/1 (SBK) while the draw is also deemed unlikely at 35/1 (SBK) with the same bookmaker.
Unsurprisingly, England have won all five of their previous meetings with Andorra and a sixth success on the spin is heavily fancied at a lowly 1/41 with SBK.
Betting Angles
This fixture has thrown up another international mismatch and it's therefore a case of having to get creative in order to eke out a backable price
As such, I'll head to the Bet Builder market and merge over three England goals and under one Andorra goal in the game which pays 21/20 at Bet 365.
England are traditionally flat-track bullies when it comes to tackling these types of assignments, with the Three Lions losing just one of their last 53 matches in qualifying for either the Euros or World Cup, posting a whopping 42 wins in the process.
Sure, Gareth Southgate is expected to field an experimental side in the Pyrenees mountains on Saturday night, but the England boss has an embarrassment of riches at his disposal, all of whom will be keen to make the most of their latest opportunity to shine.
Lowly Andorra leaked four goals at home to both Hungary and Republic of Ireland earlier this year and Euro 2020 runners-up England should have enough firepower in reserve to follow suit.
What's more, the aforementioned Bet Builder banked in last month's reverse fixture at Wembley and that only adds to the appeal of siding with the same formula on Saturday night.
I successfully backed England to score the first three goals of the game, England to take the most corners and Andorra to receive the most cards when the two sides met last month and the same combination makes plenty of appeal here at 10/11 with PaddyPower.
Southgate and Co will be desperate to take another major step towards next year's showpiece and the above-mentioned multi looks like an appetising way of trying to squeeze some juice out of what should be a routine stroll to victory for England.
