Honduras vs Canada Predictions

• Honduras have not lost any of the last five home World Cup qualifying ties against Canada (Won 3, Drawn 2).
• Canada have failed to beat Honduras in their last three meetings, including the reverse fixture last September.
• Canada are without key players Alphonso Davies and Stephen Eustaquio for this game.

Honduras’ pride and passion can deny leaders a win

Honduras have a chance to reignite their World Cup qualifying campaign by beating CONCACAF Third Round leaders Canada on Friday morning, but the likelier outcome must be a draw.

The Canucks have drawn all three of their away qualifiers during this stage and appear to have been much less adventurous than when in front of their own fans.

Honduras may currently be sitting at the foot of the standings with just three points from eight games, but La H will be no easy beats at the Estadio Olímpico Metropolitano.

Key duo out for Canucks

New coach Hernan Dario Gomez couldn’t halt their losing run during the last international break, but his team have scored in each of his three games in charge and there was a renewed pride in their performances. They let a two-goal lead slip against Panama – a team only a couple of points behind Canada – to lose 3-2 last November, but this could be very different.

Canada are without key duo Alphonso Davies and Stephen Eustaquio for this game, which will probably take something away from their ability to counter-attack and manage the game. They have failed to beat Honduras in their last three meetings, so our preferred selection here is for the hosts not to lose again.

A 1-1 scoreline that mirrors the outcome of the reverse fixture last September looks a sound play in correct score betting.
