Switzerland Takes on Underdogs Andorra in Euro 2024 Qualification
Key Stats
– Andorra’s entry into the Euro 2024 would mark their first-ever presence in the finals of a significant tournament.
– Switzerland’s powerful attacking strategy yields an average of 4 goals per game.
In the relentless pursuit of Euro 2024 qualification, the undefeated Switzerland is set to battle it out against Andorra in Group I on Friday evening. Building on an impressive performance from the start, Switzerland have garnered victories over Belarus and Israel, thus perching themselves at the top of the group. On the contrary, Andorra have started their campaign with a loss against Romania and a draw with Kosovo.
Andorra’s journey to the finals of a major tournament has been a dream unrealized. With their participation in the upcoming European Championship’s finals being a far-fetched scenario, all eyes are on how they’ll navigate this fixture. With only a single European Championship qualification match victory in their kitty, Andorra’s struggle is well-known. However, they come into this game fresh off a 1-1 draw with Kosovo.

The seasoned manager Koldo Alvarez has been at the helm of Andorra since January 2010, and with only ten victories from 106 matches, he fully comprehends the magnitude of the challenge that lies ahead in this section. While participation in Euro 2024 might seem like a long shot, a record point tally in the qualification section would be a substantial achievement for the team.
Switzerland: A Force to Reckon With
Switzerland, fondly known as A-Team, eyes the top spot in Group I, and with six points from their first two matches, they’ve made an assertive start. Switzerland, under the direction of Murat Yakin, thrashed Belarus 5-0 in their group opener before defeating Israel convincingly 3-0. With upcoming matches against Andorra and Romania, the Swiss team is poised to maintain their winning streak, setting them up for an excellent position before their next fixture against Kosovo in September.
Nati’s performance in Euro 2020, reaching the quarterfinals, marked their best-ever feat in a European Championship, reinforcing their prowess on the global stage. Not to mention their consistent presence in the knockout stage in the last three World Cup finals, their last campaign, however, ended with a 6-1 defeat to Portugal in the round of 16.
Teams: Predicted Lineups and Formations
In the last match against Kosovo, Andorra adopted a 5-4-1 formation and is expected to retain the same for this game, with Albert Rosas spearheading the attack. Having scored three times for his national side, the 20-year-old forward has already made his mark on the team’s scoring chart.
Switzerland, in contrast, may face a challenge due to the notable absence of Silvan Widmer, Breel Embolo, and Cedric Itten from the squad. However, they are expected to field a strong midfield featuring Granit Xhaka, Remo Freuler, and Denis Zakaria. Zeki Amdouni, who has scored twice in his first three appearances for the national side, is expected to continue in the starting XI.
Analysis and Predictions
Switzerland’s previous encounters have seen them emerge victorious in four out of their last six matches. The last face-off between Switzerland and Andorra resulted in a 3-0 win for the Swiss team. On the other hand, Andorra’s form has been less stellar, remaining winless in five games.
From the statistics, Andorra’s average goals per game stand at 0.5, while Switzerland’s attacking prowess sees them netting four goals per game so far in this start of the qualifying campaign. On the defensive front, Andorra concedes 1.5 goals per game, whereas Switzerland have maintained clean sheets in their previous games.
Using this data, a prediction of Under 3.5 goals seems reasonable. Given Andorra’s struggle to score, coupled with Switzerland’s robust defence, the chance of a high-scoring game is relatively low. However, Switzerland’s strong attacking statistics suggest that they will score in this match. Thus, a score prediction of 2-0 in favour of Switzerland aligns well with the stats, especially considering their previous 3-0 victory against Andorra and recent goal-scoring form.
