ANDORRA (Interstat) — FC Santa Coloma will host AC d’Escaldes on Saturday, May 23, 2026, in a Copa Constitució matchup that carries significant weight in Andorran football. The game is set to kick off at a venue to be announced.

The two sides have met six times in the past seven months, and FC Santa Coloma holds a clear edge. In those meetings, Santa Coloma won four times and drew twice, including a 3-0 victory Feb. 22 and a 3-2 win Feb. 8. The most recent encounter, on March 8, ended in a 0-0 stalemate. Over the span, Santa Coloma outscored AC d’Escaldes 12-5.

Santa Coloma enters Saturday’s match after a 2-0 loss to Ranger’s on May 16, a result that snapped a three-game unbeaten run. Prior to that defeat, the team had posted wins over Esper Andorra (3-0 on May 10) and UE Santa Coloma (3-0 on April 30), along with a scoreless draw against FC Santa Coloma’s own reserve side on April 25. Despite the recent setback, Santa Coloma’s defense has been stout, recording five clean sheets in its last 10 outings.

AC d’Escaldes, meanwhile, comes off a 2-0 victory over Penya Encarnada on May 17, snapping a two-game losing streak. Earlier this season, the team defeated IC d’Escaldes 2-1 on April 30 and routed CF Esperança d’Andorra 5-0 on March 11. However, consistency has been an issue: AC d’Escaldes has lost five of its last 10 matches, including a 3-1 defeat to IC d’Escaldes on May 10 and a 3-1 loss to Ranger’s on April 11.

The head-to-head history strongly favors the home side. Santa Coloma has not lost to AC d’Escaldes since October 2024, and the visitors have managed just one goal in their last four trips to Santa Coloma’s ground. That drought included the 0-0 draw in March and a 2-0 loss in November 2025.

An Interstat game simulator projects a 1-0 victory for FC Santa Coloma, underscoring the likelihood of a tight, low-scoring affair.

The Copa Constitució, Andorra’s premier knockout competition, adds extra intensity to the rivalry. Both teams have aspirations of silverware, but FC Santa Coloma’s recent dominance — combined with home advantage and a stout defense — makes it the favorite. AC d’Escaldes will need to break a troubling pattern against its neighbor to advance.

Saturday’s match is expected to draw a strong local crowd as the season’s stakes rise.
