Honduras hosts USA in round 3 of the third stage of the World Cup qualification. The match will be played on Thursday, September 9th at Estadio Olímpico Metropolitano (San Pedro Sula)
Honduras played at the World Cup in 2010 and 2014, but everything ended in the group round. This team missed the tournament in Russia, like many previous ones. And after 2013, Los Catrachos couldn’t get beyond the quarterfinals at the Gold Cup. The same situation was this summer: victories over Panama and Grenada allowed the Blue-Whites to progress from the group, but they lost to Mexico in the first round of the playoffs (0-3). But everything is not bad in the current qualification: Honduras reached the decisive round and started it with two draws. And the team had a chance to keep the advantage over Canada, but Larin scored an equalizer at the end of the game. It will be quite hard for Honduras to get in the desired top four.

The United States have always played at the World Cups since 1990. Moreover, they reached the quarterfinals in 2002 and made it to the playoffs in 2010 and 2014. Their failure in the last cycle became a sensation, and it seemed that it would not happen again. In July, the Yanks managed to win the Gold Cup, having put the squeeze on Mexico in the extra time of the final. Gregg Berhalter can count on such stars as Ream and Brooks in defense, Adams and McKenny in midfield, as well as Sargent, de la Fuente, Aaronson, and, most importantly, Pulisic in the attack group. Yes, you could add Steffen (but he is injured) or Guzan between the sticks and a whole range of other players who work at European clubs. However, the Americans gained only two draws at the start of the decisive stage. With such results, they can again be left without the World Cup. Does the responsibility press the players?
The United States generally play well against Honduras. In June the Yanks beat the Blue-Whites in the local Nations League (1-0), and it was their fifth victory win the last seven head-to-head matches. The USA is stronger, and the national team must prove it away. We bet on the visitors to win with a -1 handicap.
Prediction for the match: USA to win with -1.0 handicap
