Honduras vs Costa Rica Prediction & Betting tips
At the Estadio Francisco Morazan in San Pedro Sula, Honduras will be hosting a qualifying match for the 2018 World Cup on Tuesday night at 11pm CET. The North and Central America Group is still very competitive after three matches. Mexico (7 points) leads Costa Rica (6 points) and Panama (4 points), but both the USA and Honduras and Trinidad & Tobago (all 3 points) are on the watch. Who can play for the next day?
Honduras :
Honduras had a lot to play on the last day. In San Jose, the underdog came 0-6 under the wheels. A surprisingly clear defeat, Honduras had a good 3-1 victory against Trinidad & Tobago. Before that, there was already a 0-1 home defeat against Panama, so that Honduras stands with a 1-0-2 balance and 3-8 goals. Nevertheless, the new World Cup qualification is still in place, after all, three of the six teams in this group are going to Russia and even the fourth can get the World Cup ticket as part of the relegation. The 0-6 defeat against the US must be viewed as an operational accident. Against Costa Rica, Honduras is the outsider for us, but none of the last three matches were lost.
Costa Rica :
The World Cup quarter-finalist lost 0-2 in Mexico on the final day. Nevertheless, Costa Rica is on a good second place with a 2-0-1 record and 6-2 goals as the team beat both Trinidad & Tobago (2-0) and the USA (4-0). The team is very well-equipped with Keeper Navas, Ruiz or even Gonzalez, defensively extremely compact. After all, they even beat Italy in the 2014 World Cup. Against Honduras we expect a close match. According to the betting, Costa Rica is short favorite in this match.
