Andorra National Football Team Formation
Starting Lineup
Spiegler ISR (Rosenthal/Stelmach ISR) · Majed SAR (Daei IRN/Ohana ISR) · Bennayoun ISR (AlThunayan SAR/Parvin IRN) · Revivo ISR (Al-Owairan/Al-Jaber SAR) · Bagheri IRN (Spiegel ISR/Karimi IRN) · Ben Haim ISR (Harazi ISR/Dirjal IRQ) · Eskandarian IRN (Vollach ISR/Rezaei IRN) · Cohen ISR (Hassan QTR/Nu' Eimeh SAR) · Madahvikia IRN (Juma'a IRQ/O.Hussain KWT) · Al Deayea SAR (Hejazi IRN) · Berkovic ISR (Banin ISR/O.Abdulrman UAE)Prioritizing a heavy direct attack, Andorra operates with a 2-4-4 formation. This lineup is built to stay compact in a mid-block while looking to hit teams on the transition with high numbers in the final third. The team seeks to bypass the middle of the pitch to find their forwards as quickly as possible.
Al Deayea SAR guards the goal while the defensive unit relies on a narrow pair of central defenders. Eskandarian IRN and Ben Haim ISR form a two man back line that must stay disciplined to avoid being caught in behind. These defenders focus on winning the second ball and clearing the lines when the opposition pushes high. They rarely step into midfield, preferring to sit deep to protect the space behind them.
The midfield operates as a four man unit designed to control the central area and provide support to the front line. Madahvikia IRN and Cohen ISR act as a double pivot to shield the defense and break up play. Cohen ISR works to intercept passes while Madahvikia IRN looks to recycle possession. Ahead of them, Berkovic ISR and Bagheri ISR play in the half spaces to connect the lines. Berkovic ISR drives forward to join the attack, while Bagheri ISR looks to find the feet of the strikers.
In the attacking phase, Andorra uses four players across the front to stretch the opposition. Majed SAR and Spiegler ISR operate as two central forwards, acting as a partnership to pin the last defender. On the flanks, Bennayoun ISR and Revivo ISR act as wide wingers who look to get to the byline and deliver crosses. This front four works to press from the front to force a long ball from the opposition. The team relies on combinations in the final third to create chances through the middle or out wide.
This formation offers significant advantages through its ability to overwhelm the opposition defense once the ball reaches the final third. By pushing four players high, Andorra can create numerical superiority in the attacking zone. The double pivot of Madahvikia IRN and Cohen ISR also provides a layer of protection that allows the wide players to push up.
Andorra utilizes this heavy attacking lineup to catch opponents off guard during quick transitions. It is a formation best suited for games where the team needs to score goals against a side that dominates possession.
