Yes, but not because of universal expansion really, they’re just headed in a direction that is going to intersect at some point, likely combining the two galaxies together. This’ll be so far in the future we’ll all be long dead though, on top of it being unlikely that anything is going to even come close to our solar system
Aren’t the milky way and andromeda on a collision course with each other?
Milky way and Andromeda are close enough that expansion is too small to overpower gravity
Our local group is racing toward The Great Attractor but will never reach it as expansion is pulling it away faster than we’re falling toward it

That’s the other part I find fascinating; these two galaxies are gonna intersect, but our solar system probably won’t hit anything. That’s so gnar.
