World European Preliminaries-Andorra VS Serbia: After 2 consecutive losses, FIFA No. 34 has been forced into a desperate situation

Like Germany, Serbia was eliminated from the group in two consecutive World Cups in 2018 and 2022. No matter how bad the results are, there is still a World Cup to play in.

Whether Serbia can still appear on the stage of the 2026 World Cup is uncertain.

In the last round of World Cup preliminaries, Serbia, ranked 34th in the world by FIFA, lost 0:1 at home to Albania, ranked 66th in the world by FIFA. The situation took a turn for the worse.

In Group K, it is impossible to compete for the first place in the group to advance directly. That belongs to England, the originator of modern football. Serbia has hope of competing for the second place in the group to qualify for the play-offs. If Albania is defeated, it will be ranked second with 10 points. It has 2 points more than Albania in one round. In the remaining 3 rounds, there is no hope of getting points in away games against England. However, in the away games against Andorra and home games against Latvia, there is no suspense about victory. Albania is naturally not sure about getting points against England in the last round at home, so Serbia is guaranteed to be second in the group.

After losing, Serbia is 4 points behind Serbia. It will take a miracle to compete for second place!

Andorra VS Serbia

Nature of the match: Round 8 of Group K of the World Cup European Zone

Match time: 2:45 on October 15th

Group K currently has England winning 5 games and accumulating 1 points Leading with 5 points, Albania ranks second with 11 points from 6 games, 3 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss, Serbia ranks third with 7 points from 5 games, 2 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses, Latvia ranks fourth with 5 points from 6 games, 1 win, 2 draws and 3 losses, and Andorra ranks bottom with 6 games, 1 draw, 5 losses and 1 point.

In the first three rounds of this World Cup preliminaries, Serbia had 2 wins, 1 draw and was undefeated. This result is good. The 0:5 defeat to England at home in the fourth game is not the end of the world. It is enough to play well in other games, but it also loses against Albania at home, which is unjustifiable. Vlahovic and Mitrovic started as forwards. Vlahovic, who performed well as a substitute for Juventus this season, played the full 90 minutes.

After the game, Serbian national team coach Stojkovic resigned. After playing like this, he should definitely resign. If he does not resign, he should be fired. But changing the coach at this critical moment is not a good thing. Fortunately, the upcoming game is an away game against Andorra. The next round of World Cup qualifying away game against England is a month later. The new coach still has some time.

Andorra is currently ranked 174th in the world by FIFA, and the total value of the team is only 3.56 million euros. In the 6 games of the World Cup preliminaries, Andorra scored 2 goals and conceded 12 goals. In the last round of World Cup preliminaries, they drew with Latvia 2:2 away from home, scoring the first goal and the first point of this World Cup preliminaries.

Andorra has 1 win, 2 draws and 7 losses in the past 10 games in all competitions. In a friendly match in October last year, it defeated San Marino 2:0.

Serbia has 3 wins, 4 draws and 3 losses in the past 10 games in all competitions, and has lost 2 consecutive games in the world preliminaries.

In the first round of this World Cup preliminaries, Serbia defeated Andorra 3:0 at home. Although this is an away game, considering that the strength is far superior to the opponent, it is still worth looking forward to.
