Gibraltar: three matches unbeaten after a long losing streak
Gibraltar head into the Nations League on the back of a three-match unbeaten run in friendlies. The team beat the British Virgin Islands 4-0 and the Cayman Islands 4-1 before drawing 0-0 with São Tomé and Príncipe.
Before that, the national team had suffered 12 consecutive defeats, but the recent results have given Scott Wiseman’s side a major confidence boost. At home against an opponent of a similar level, Gibraltar should be capable of playing a more compact and cautious game.
Andorra: defeat by Malta made for a difficult start
Andorra began the tournament with a 1-2 defeat by Malta. The team took the lead in the 17th minute, but the hosts equalized before half-time and scored the winner in the 81st minute.
However, Andorra’s recent results cannot be described as entirely disappointing. The team recently drew 0-0 with San Marino and beat Liechtenstein 2-0, so they will be aiming to take at least a point against Gibraltar.
Match facts
- Gibraltar are unbeaten in three straight matches.
- Andorra lost 1-2 to Malta in the opening round.
- Andorra have avoided defeat in two of their last four matches.

The teams are closely matched, while the cost of a mistake in such a group is particularly high. Gibraltar received a strong emotional boost from their run of successful friendlies, whereas after losing to Malta, it is crucial for Andorra not to drop points again.
Neither national team is likely to open up from the start, so the game could be played at a cautious pace with few chances.
