This game looks as though it is being played on a lush green carpet. But the artificial surface is already causing havoc with both teams who are struggling to judge the bounce. Lots of fun and games ahead.

Less than 40 seconds on the clock and Chris Gunter tests the Andorra keeper from inside the box following a delicious ball by Aaron Ramsey. Positive start.

We're off. Gareth Bale looks as pumped for this as he does for a Real Madrid-Barcelona showdown.

It's not every day you hear the national anthem of Andorra. Hmmm. Not bad. Not a patch on Land of my Fathers though. . .

Andorra: Pol, Garcia Miramontes, Lima, Maneiro Ton, Rubio, Vales, Peppe, Ayala Diaz, Martinez Alejo, Lorenzo Roncero, Riera. Subs: Josep Anton Gomez, Sonejee, Rodrigues, Vieira de Vasconcelos, Sanchez Soto, Clemente, Moreno.

It's a clash of great significance at both ends of the Women's Super League tonight as struggling Everton host Birmingham.

Birmingham can go top with a win while Everton haven't won all season and are in a world of pain.

The match is live on BBC Radio 5 live sports extra from now.

It's like an FA Cup third round tie when a non-League team featuring salesmen and teachers line-up against a Premier League club.

Andorra's long-serving captain Oscar Sonejee works an insurance salesman, while 34-year-old defender Ildefons Lima is his country's top scorer with seven goals.

Lima was in the squad for Andorra's first ever game, a 1998 Euro 2000 qualifier with Armenia which they lost 3-1.

BBC Sport Wales' Dafydd Pritchard in Andorra: "Wales are as hopeful of qualifying for a major tournament as they have been for years and, against an Andorran side with only one competitive victory in their history, they are confident of making a winning start to their campaign."

Daniel Tinsley, external: George Weah one of the greatest to never get a World Cup chance.

European heavyweights the Netherlands and Italy are also in action and we will be keeping you up to date with their progress as well as other three other Euro 2016 qualifiers taking place this evening.

Guus Hiddink's Netherlands are away to the Czech Republic in Group A, while Turkey visit Iceland.

Wales's Group B rivals Bosnia-Hercegovina host Cyprus and in Group C Italy are in Norway, while Croatia host Malta.

Iwan Roberts
Former Wales striker and BBC Radio Wales pundit

"I am very positive about Wales' chances in this group.

"I wasn't that impressed by Belgium in the World Cup and I think that we can go and beat Bosnia. We have got two players in Gareth Bale and Aaron Ramsey who can win you any game and around them we have eight or nine players who are playing regularly in the Premier League.

"I think that we will win comfortably. Against the weaker teams you have to boost your goal difference and if we get four goals I would be delighted."

Hopeful of Wales on text: Should be the most one sided game Wales have played in my lifetime (I'm 43). My only concern is how our higher paid players who play in top arenas week in and week out (and even some of the lesser paid lower league players) motivate themselves whilst playing in a stadium that resembles the local kickabout area the kids use in my local park. Hopefully, playing for your country is motivation enough. Come on Wales. No sense in upsetting the wife just yet but I really fancy a family summer holiday in France in 2016.

Put your name on those texts please...

BBC Wales Today sports reporter Ashleigh Crowter:, external Just warning you that there's more loose crumbs on this pitch than an episode of the Great British Bake Off.

Wales manager Chris Coleman speaking to BBC Radio Wales: "Gareth Bale can play anywhere. We have lost Sam Vokes and the possibility of playing Gareth Bale through the middle is obviously one we have discussed.

"The feeling of getting so close and not doing so is not nice, that is what drives me on.

"We have got a lot of good players, there is no getting away from that. There are no easy games in this group, but if we take ownership of it I believe that we are good enough to go through."

Joe Allen admits he would prefer the game to be played on grass but says the artificial surface will be no excuse for a poor result.

"It doesn't matter what pitch we play on, whatever surface, our focus on is how we play and perform," says the Liverpool midfielder. "We have got to be confident whatever happens - we are there to get three points, and we have got to make sure that's what we do.

"We've all played on artificial surfaces enough times to know what to expect from it, and it's not a problem."

Kevin Ratcliffe
Former Wales captain & BBC Wales pundit

"Neil Taylor coming in on the left, a naturally left-footed player, gives us some balance. I think they will go with Simon Church up front with Gareth Bale in behind.

"There is plenty of cover in the side as well though which is important considering that we are going to have a lot of the ball and will need to be careful to avoid being hit on the break."

Andorra's national stadium might be small, but is there a more stunning backdrop in world football?

You certainly don't get this view at Luton's Kenilworth Road or Walsall's Bescot Stadium!

The new venue holds just hold 4,000 fans, while the Wales physio could be in for a busy evening as the ground has a 3G artificial pitch, and a sliding tackle may well prove painful.

"3-0 to Wales with Gareth Bale to get two. Come on Wales!"
