The action resumes in Group D2 of the UEFA Nations League as Andorra and Moldova lock horns at the Estadi Nacional on Saturday. Koldo’s men have lost their last seven competitive games since September 2023 and will be looking to stop the rot this weekend.
Andorra picked up a morale-boosting result on October 13 when they secured a 2-0 victory over San Marino in a friendly matchup at the Estadi Nacional.
Head coach Koldo will hope the friendly win can serve as a catalyst for a turnaround in the Nations League, where they have lost their two matches so far, conceding three goals and failing to find the target across both games.
Andorra are currently rooted to the bottom of the Group D2 standings and need maximum points this weekend to keep their dreams of securing promotion alive.
Elsewhere, Moldova were left red-faced last time out when they fell to a 1-0 defeat against Malta at the Ta' Qali National Stadium courtesy of an 87th-minute penalty from Teddy Teuma.
Before that, Serghei Clescenco’s men were on a three-game winning streak, including back-to-back victories over Malta and Andorra in their opening two Nations League games.
With six points from three matches, Moldova currently lead the way at the top of the Group D2 standings, level on points with second-placed Malta.
