Preview: UE Santa Coloma Hosts Ordino in Copa Constitució Clash

ANDORRA LA VELLA, Andorra (Interstat) — UE Santa Coloma is set to host Ordino in a Copa Constitució matchup on Thursday, March 12, 2026, with the home side looking to capitalize on its recent form against a visiting squad seeking consistency.

The match, organized by Andorra’s domestic cup competition, presents a contrast in trajectories. UE Santa Coloma enters following a convincing 2-0 victory over Principat on Jan. 11, a result that showcased defensive solidity and finishing prowess.

Ordino, meanwhile, arrives after a narrow 2-1 home defeat to Ranger’s on March 7. That result extended a pattern of uneven performances for Ordino throughout the season. A review of their campaign reveals a team capable of notable results, including a 2-1 win over FC Santa Coloma on Feb. 15, but also prone to heavy losses and struggles to find a winning rhythm.

Their season series against the powerful FC Santa Coloma, a different entity from Thursday’s opponent UE Santa Coloma, was narrowly contested, with Ordino losing 1-0 and 2-1 before securing that 2-1 victory. However, results like a 4-0 loss to Ranger’s and a 4-2 defeat to Penya Encarnada highlight defensive vulnerabilities.

Interstat’s game simulator projects a 2-0 victory for UE Santa Coloma, a forecast that aligns with Ordino’s difficulties in maintaining clean sheets and UE Santa Coloma’s recent shutout performance.

For Ordino, this cup match offers a brief respite from a demanding 1a Divisió league schedule. Their next 10 fixtures are exclusively in the domestic top flight, featuring challenging encounters against sides like AC d’Escaldes, IC d’Escaldes, and a return match against FC Santa Coloma.

Thursday’s contest will test whether UE Santa Coloma can translate its January form into a deep cup run, or if Ordino can muster the resilience to overcome recent setbacks and advance in the knockout tournament. The cup setting often breeds unpredictability, but the hosts will be viewed as the favorites based on the available form lines and statistical projections.

Kickoff is scheduled for Thursday evening at a venue to be determined in Andorra la Vella.
