Serbia Eye Vital Win Against Goal-Shy Andorra in World Cup Qualifier
Tonight’s clash between Serbia and Andorra is more than just a routine World Cup qualifier—it’s a litmus test for Serbia’s ambitions and form, and a chance to reassert dominance after a stuttering start to their Group K campaign. As kickoff approaches at 19:45 in Leskovac, there’s a clear expectation in the air: Serbia must deliver, and anything less than a convincing win will raise serious questions.
Let’s be honest—on paper, this should be straightforward for Serbia. They boast the kind of firepower most international teams envy, with Luka Jovic, Dusan Vlahovic, and Aleksandar Mitrovic all capable of causing nightmares for defenders. Yet, despite the strength of their attack, they were held to a frustrating 0-0 draw by Albania in their opener. That result has put the pressure firmly on Dragan Stojkovic’s side to make a statement against the group’s weakest team.

Andorra, meanwhile, continue to struggle at this level. Ranked 173rd in the world, they’ve failed to find the net in their three qualifying games so far, conceding five goals in the process. Their Nations League form was just as bleak—bottom of their group, winless, and goalless. Even though they managed to keep the scoreline respectable in a 1-0 loss to England, the reality is they rarely threaten to upset the odds.
Serbia will look to capitalize on home advantage and Andorra’s lack of attacking threat. Betting markets reflect this too—Serbia to win to nil is heavily backed, and with good reason. The Serbian backline, featuring the likes of Nikola Milenkovic and goalkeeper Djordje Petrovic, has the discipline and quality to hold firm. And if the creative sparks finally fly in midfield, we could see a comfortable margin tonight.
Still, there are areas Serbia must improve. Despite their impressive squad depth, the team often lacks the kind of midfield creativity to unlock compact defenses like Andorra’s. It’s not a question of grit—players like Sasa Lukic bring plenty of that—it’s about inventiveness and fluidity in the final third. If they manage that, this match could end 3-0 or more.
All signs point to a Serbia win, but this isn’t just about three points. It’s about momentum, confidence, and showing they belong at the next World Cup. Andorra, for their part, will defend with everything they have—but the gulf in quality is simply too large to ignore.
So as we look ahead to tonight’s match, one thing is clear: Serbia can’t afford to coast. They need to dominate. And if they do, it could be just the performance that kickstarts their campaign.
