Honduras vs Chile Prediction & Betting tips
What is South America famous for in the world of football? Many people think first of all about the fine Brazilian technicians, the ball wizards who make a football fan’s heart beat faster. However, there is also another side, namely the hard-hitting and battle-oriented side.
In every game, whether at club or national team level, things are getting hot on the continent. The name friendly game is nothing more than a name for a game. On the pitch all players always give 100% to their country and throw everything into the balance.
A current example complacent? The match between Chile and Argentina on Friday ended with 0: 0 and was thus at first glance a real bore. But referee Marrufo had to interrupt the game constantly. In the end, 40 fouls and 10 yellow cards were counted.
It’s about more than just a meaningless victory in a friendly match. It’s about fame, honor, pride and a lot of explosiveness. For these reasons, the match in the night from Tuesday to Wednesday between Honduras and Chile, where the odds the guests see the advantage, a hot number.
The hosts have recently proved their good form with a clear 4-0 win over Puerto Rico. So now is the duel with the star troupe from South America. The game will be kicked off at 02:30 German time on the night from Tuesday to Wednesday in the Estadio Olimpico Metropolitano of San Pedro Sula.
Honduras:
Head coach Fabian Coito’s Honduran national football team met Jamaica, Curacao and El Salvador in the group stage of the Gold Cup. After two bankruptcies to start a 4-0 helped against El Salvador nothing more. There was the bitter early end to cope with. The Argentine coach still sits on the bench and should further develop the team.
After the first test since the Gold Cup, he seems to be on the right track. On Friday, his protégés won against Puerto Rico 4-0. Emilio Izaguirre, who was under contract with Celtic Glasgow last season and is one of the few European legionnaires, scored one goal.
The man of the day, however, was Olimpia’s 23-year-old Jorge Benguche, who put together a brace. Even the younger attacker Jonathan Rubio scored a goal.
Overall, the starting line-up was very young and except for the defense no player was older than 27. On the defensive, there are still a few experienced players with Izaguirre (33) and Maynor Figueroa (36). As enjoyable as the clear 4: 0 against Puerto Rico was, as weak presented on this day, the opponent.
The endurance test on Wednesday will show how good the hosts really are. Honduras is against Chile, this forecast is certain to be much more demanding and possibly the limits shown.
The spoiled Chilean fans had to accept a few setbacks in the recent past. After the missed World Cup qualifier, this summer’s third Copa title was scheduled for production. After a second place in the group stage behind Uruguay La Roja moved into the quarter-finals, beat there Colombia and got it in the semifinals with Peru to do.
Despite clear favorites, the defending champion failed clearly and with 0: 3 and was dethroned. The team of coach Reinaldo Rueda remained only the game for third place, which was lost in the end (1: 2 against Argentina). Nevertheless, coach Rueda will continue to be trusted and he should continue the change.
The national coach refuses to players like Gary Medel, Erick Pulgar or Arturo Vidal. In the 0: 0 against Argentina, especially the game against the ball worked very well and the returning to the squad called Keeper Bravo kept his box clean. But there were problems on the offensive.
Bayer 04 Leverkusen’s new captain Charles Aranguiz still lacked the vote, although with Alexis Sanchez the big superstar was back on board. Next to him, Angelo Sagal and Eduardo Vargas stormed. The trio will continue to play and will therefore probably also in Honduras from the start together on the court.
