Northern Ireland and Andorra square off at the Estadio Nueva Condomina in a friendly on Tuesday. Koldo’s men have failed to win their last 16 matches across all competitions and will be looking to end this dire run.
Northern Ireland failed to secure consecutive victories for the first time since September 2021 as they suffered a 5-1 hammering at the hands of Spain on Saturday.
Michael O'Neill’s side had won two of their previous three matches in all competitions, with a 1-1 friendly stalemate against Romania on March 22 sandwiched between the two victories.
With Saturday’s defeat, Northern Ireland have failed to win three of their last four friendlies while losing twice and claiming one draw since March 2022.
Like the hosts, Andorra were on the receiving end of a 5-0 thrashing at the hands of Spain in a friendly last Wednesday.
Koldo’s men have now gone 16 consecutive games without a win across all competitions, losing 12 and picking up four draws since a 2-0 victory over Liechtenstein in September 2022.
Andorra’s last friendly victory came back in March 2022, when they edged out 10-man Grenada at the Estadi Nacional.
