England will try to cruise to another easy win when it visits tiny Andorra on Saturday for a 2022 UEFA World Cup Qualifying group-stage match. England is the world's third-ranked team, while Andorra is No. 156. The Three Lions (5-0-1) have taken 16 of a possible 18 points to take a comfortable lead atop the group. A 1-1 draw in their most recent match, where Poland got the equalizer two minutes into second-half stoppage time, is the only blemish. Andorra (1-0-5) beat San Marino 2-0 last month, and that was just its third qualifying win all-time. It has scored just 18 goals in 58 all-time matches, so it is likely to be a matter of how much pressure England applies.
Kickoff is set for 2:45 p.m. ET at Estadi Nacional in Andorra la Vella. England is the -10000 favorite (risk $10000 to win $100) in Caesars Sportsbook's latest England vs. Andorra odds. Andorra is the +4500 underdog, a draw is priced at +1400 and the over-under for total goals scored is set at 4.5.

Why you should back England
This will be prime time for England's backup players to impress manager Gareth Southgate, and they have the talent to still make this a runaway. But the draw with Poland brought some concern, with the Three Lions putting just two of its shots on target while yielding four. Still, Poland has scored in both matches, and Italy and Denmark at Euro 2020 are the only other teams to find the net against them in 2021. That's a span of 15 matches, and they scored 31.
England went 12-3-0 in that span, losing to Italy on penalty kicks in the Euro 2020 final, and has an 18-2 goal advantage in qualifying. It beat Andorra 4-0 last month, with Jesse Lingard scoring twice. Players like Raheem Sterling and Bukayo Saka, who also had a goal in that match, are likely to play big roles Saturday. And with competition fierce for playing time in Qatar, the likes of Mason Mount, Jack Grealish, Phil Foden and Jadon Sancho will be eager to impress Southgate.
Why you should back Andorra
The tiny ski-resort principality has a population of just 77,000 and started play in 1996. It beat a San Marino team that draws from an even smaller population, so the Tricolours aren't much of a threat to win, but they'll be fired up to keep this one as competitive as possible. Andorra is the fifth-smallest nation represented in UEFA, ahead of only Liechtenstein, San Marino, Gibraltar and the Faroe Islands. Marc Vales scored both goals in the San Marino match, and that made him one of just three players with more than three international goals.
Central defender Ildefons Lima has scored 11, and the 41-year-old captain is the leader in goals and caps (132) for the national team. Vales is tied for third all-time with his four goals, and midfielder Cristian Martinez is second with five. The Tricolours have been outscored 14-4, with defender Max Llovera and midfielder Marc Pujol also getting on the board. Ten of the players compete in the Andorran Primero Divisio, with most of the others in Spain's lower divisions.
