Andorra vs Poland prediction, preview, team news and more | 2022 FIFA World Cup qualifiers
Andorra will welcome Poland to Estadi Nacional for a 2022 FIFA World Cup qualifier on Friday.
The hosts come into the game on the back of a 3-0 away victory over San Marino last month. Marc Pujol, Sergi Moreno and Cucu all got on the scoresheet to help their nation secure the win.
Poland needed Karol Swiderski's 77th-minute strike to see off Albania with a narrow 1-0 victory away from home.
The win helped the Poles climb to second spot in Group I with 17 points from eight matches. They are three points behind table-toppers England.
Andorra have garnered six points from eight matches. Despite having been eliminated from the running for Qatar 2022, this represents the Pyrenees' best return in a qualifier.
Andorra vs Poland Head-to-Head
Poland were victorious on each of the two occasions they have traded tackles with Andorra. A 4-0 victory in an international friendly in June 2012 was followed by a 3-0 home win in the first leg of the qualifiers in March.
Robert Lewandowski's brace guided the Poles to a comfortable victory on matchday two of the qualifiers.
Andorra returned to winning ways last month after a three-game losing streak. Poland have gone five games without defeat since their disappointing elimination from Euro 2020 in the group stage.

Andorra vs Poland Prediction
Poland still have an outside shot at finishing top of the group but are more likely to focus on securing their playoff spot with a win here.
The hosts have nothing left to play for and will prioritize limiting the damage done by their visitors by defending compactly. Poland are led by the red-hot Lewandowski and are likely to have too much in store for their hosts.
Poland have a strong record against the lower-ranked side on the continent and their unbeaten run against sides ranked outside the top 100 is unlikely to end soon. We are backing Paulo Sousa's side to secure a comfortable victory in addition to a clean sheet.
Prediction: Andorra 0-2 Poland
