Honduras vs Mexico
Honduras still have a chance to turn around the betting odds and keep their World Cup dreams alive, but they need everything to go in their favour in the final stretch of the CONCACAF World Cup qualifying football games.
Of course, that includes pulling off an upset against online betting favourites Mexico, who are already set for an appearance in next year’s festivities.
Honduras have a good chance of grabbing a win, especially at San Pedro Sula where home fans are expected to rally them in this all-important matchup. They are at 1X2 odds @ 2.46 while Mexico are at 2.79, a tell-tale sign that the hosts shouldn’t be counted out just yet.
Not to mention that they are unbeaten in their last three matches, including back-to-back draws against the third-placed USA and the second-placed Costa Rica.
The concern for Los Catrachos, however, is Mexico’s frontline that features the likes of Chicharito, Jesus Corona, Carlos Vela and Hirving Lozano. There’s no doubt El Tri’s attack is strong, and it should cause problems to a team that have already conceded 17 goals in the round.
It’s also worrying that Mexico aren’t looking to slow down, particularly after their 3-1 demolition of Trinidad and Tobago last Saturday.
The Hondurans need to get all three points here and hope either Panama or USA lost their respective games. It would be ideal for the team if both sides lose, though they can’t look too far ahead when they are up against the best team in the qualifier.
Jorge Luis Pinto’s boys no longer hold their destiny in their hands, but that shouldn’t stop Eddie Hernandez, Alberth Elis, and Romell Quioto from inspiring the team.
I predict a tough encounter at Estadio Olímpico Metropolitano that can go either way. A Draw @ 2.98 is an enticing punt to make, but Honduras Draw No Bet @ 1.83 seems to be a solid choice as well considering what’s at stake.
