Spain vs Andorra

, KO: 20:30 Jun 5, 2024, Estadio Nuevo Vivero, Badajoz
Andorra

SPAIN have their penultimate warm-up match ahead of the Euros when they entertain neighbouring minnows Andorra in Badajoz.

Luis de la Fuente's side had a real scare in their qualifying campaign when they lost at Hampden to Scotland, but they recovered well enough and won the last seven games in the group.

However, doubts resurfaced in their March friendlies when they lost to Colombia at West Ham's stadium and drew 3-3 with Brazil in Madrid.

However, there's no doubts they are one of the favourites to win the tournament and they have a squad crammed full of quality.

They face Andorra on Wednesday before Northern Ireland in Majorca before the real stuff starts when they face Croatia, Italy and Albania at the Euros.

Andorra might be ranked 164th in the FIFA list, but they are rarely battered unlike the likes of San Marino or Gibraltar.

They failed to win a game in their qualifiers and drew twice, but although they only scored three goals, they conceded 20 in ten games, which is hardly disgraceful.

And they also gained a 1-1 draw with South Africa in a friendly played in Algeria in their most recent match.

How the bookies view it: Mismatch for Spain

Spain are 1/66 with bet365 and you would need to have deep pockets to win money there! Andorra are 66/1 to pull off a major shock and the draw is 25/1.

Recent head to heads: Spain triumphed in the only meeting

The nearby nations have only played once before and it was exactly 20 years ago when the sides meet on Wednesday, Spain won 4-0 that night.

Players to watch: Morata the man

Álvaro Morata is Spain's talisman and captain and the Atletico Madrid striker will view this as a decent chance to increase his tally of 34 goals for his country in 71 appearances. Prices are yet to be put up by the layers so far.

Ricard Fernandez has scored twice for his country and the 25-year-old striker plays for Slovenian outfit Krka.

Predicted line-ups:

Luis de la Fuente could use plenty of his squad here and could hand debuts at some point t uncapped players Fermín Lpez of Barcelona and Real Betis' Ayoze Perez.

Andorra have no injury worries

Spain: Simon, Navas, Laporte, Le Normand, Cucurella, Ruiz, Rodri, Morata, Olmo, Williams, Yamal.

Andorra: Gomes, San Nicolas, Llovera, Cervos, García, De Pablos, Guillen, Pujol, Vales, Sanchez, Fernandez.

Anything else catch the eye?

Spain should obviously have far too much for Andorra, but they rarely take a hammering these days and the mountainous region are perhaps not as bad as the prices suggest.

Since 2021, they have only conceded four goals once in 23 matches to Romania. They are well organised defensively and will be extra motivated for this game against their neighbours, who surely won't be going gung-ho with the Euros so close.

The call here is for Andorra to keep this respectable. Back a home win and under 4.5 goals at 5/6 with bet365.

And for a longer shot, go for under 3.5 goals at 7/4 with bet365 with the Spanish likely to be happy enough with any kind of comfortable win.

This match between Spain and Andorra will be played on Jun 5, 2024 and kick off at 20:30. Check below for our tipsters best Spain vs Andorra prediction. You may also visit our dedicated betting previews section for the most up to date previews.
