Andorra are set to host Liechtenstein at Estadi Nacional in Andorra la Vella for an international friendly on Thursday, 4 June 2026, at 23:00 WIB.
As two of the smaller footballing nations, both countries have yet to qualify for the FIFA World Cup 2026.
Andorra have not been at their best this year, losing twice and drawing once in their recent friendly outings.
Montenegro defeated Andorra 2-0 in March, just days before La Tricolor held San Marino to a goalless draw. At the end of May, Iraq—who are preparing for the World Cup—edged Andorra 1-0.
Following their encounter with Liechtenstein on Thursday, Andorra will take on Kosovo on 7 June in another friendly match.
La Tricolor’s current focus is on preparing for the new UEFA Nations League cycle starting in September, where they will meet other smaller teams such as Malta and Gibraltar.
Meanwhile, Liechtenstein remain one of the lowest-ranked teams in the world (206th out of 211), and in their most recent match they suffered a 2-1 defeat against Aruba in March.
Earlier that month, they enjoyed a rare boost of confidence with a 1-0 victory over Tanzania.
Die Blau-Roten also have a friendly scheduled against Cyprus after this clash with Andorra.
Just like Andorra, Liechtenstein will return to competitive action in the UEFA Nations League in September, where they are set to face Azerbaijan and Lithuania.
Andorra deployed Alex Ruiz as goalkeeper in their match against Iraq, but Iker Alvarez is expected to return as the first-choice keeper on Thursday, supported by a back three of Moises San Nicolas, Max Llovera, and Ian Oliveira.
Up front, Santa Coloma striker Guillaume Lopez is likely to lead the attack, flanked by Eric de las Heras and Jordi Alaez on the wings.
As for Liechtenstein, they are expected to stick with a three-man defence consisting of Livio Meier, Jens Hofer, and Maximilian Goppel, with Andrin Netzer and Emanuel Zund operating as wing-backs.
Further forward, coach Funfstuck may opt for a front duo of Ferhat Saglam from Eintracht Hohkeppel and Fabio Luque-Notaro from Schweinfurt 05, supported by Alessio Hasler, Lars Traber, and Aron Sele in midfield.
Andorra: Alvarez; Borra, San Nicolas, Llovera, Oliveira, Garcia; Heras, Vales, Babot, Alaez; Lopez
Liechtenstein: Ospelt; Meier, Hofer, Goppel; Netzer, A Hasler, Traber, Sele, Zund; Saglam, Luque-Notaro
Andorra have struggled to score in recent matches, but this game could be their opportunity to rediscover their attacking touch.
They tend to focus their energy on a compact defensive block before launching counterattacks, while Liechtenstein are not particularly known for their defensive discipline.
Neither side has been clinical in front of goal, so this could likely end in a low-scoring win for the hosts.
Predicted Score: Andorra 1-0 Liechtenstein
Andorra endured a difficult World Cup qualifying campaign and have avoided defeat just once since then, but they will view this as an opportunity to secure a rare victory against one of the lowest-ranked nations.
Given both teams’ ongoing struggles to score, this match is expected to be tight and possibly decided by a single goal.
Predicted Score: Andorra 1-0 Liechtenstein
Andorra may not be a high-scoring side, but they face opponents who are lower in ranking and overall quality. Playing at Estadi Nacional provides an additional advantage.
Liechtenstein continue to struggle in creating chances and maintaining consistency. Their defeat to Aruba in March showed their vulnerability against similarly ranked teams.
The head-to-head record favours Andorra, including a 2-0 victory in their last meeting during the 2022 UEFA Nations League. Psychologically, the hosts hold the upper hand.
Although both teams tend to score few goals, Andorra’s players have more international experience and could exploit Liechtenstein’s defensive weaknesses through set-pieces and counterattacks.
Predicted Score: Andorra 2-0 Liechtenstein
