Canada have named a strong squad for the CONCACAF Nations League and look too powerful for an experimental Honduras outfit in San Pedro Sula.
The Reds prevailed 2-0 here in a January World Cup qualifier and are fancied to return home with maximum points once more in this competition.
We like 2.45 for another away win to nil with our first Honduras vs Canada prediction.
Honduras Odds
Honduras qualified for the 2010 and 2014 World Cup tournaments but missed out four years ago and flopped in the CONCACAF section for Qatar 2022.
Los Catrachos failed to win any of their 14 fixtures, with just four draws leaving them six points adrift at the bottom and 24 behind table toppers Canada.
Diego Vasquez was then brought in as interim head coach and the Argentine has set about rebuilding the national team.
Things began well enough with a 1-0 win away to Curacao but Honduras were beaten 2-1 when hosting the same team last week.
CF Montreal forward Romell Quioto grabbed a consolation goal four minutes into stoppage time but Canada will have seen little to be concerned about.
Looking at the Honduras vs Canada odds, we’re taking 7.0 for the visitors to oblige 2-0 again at this venue.
Canada Odds
Canada are preparing for the World Cup finals following a 36-year break since their sole previous appearance on the sport’s biggest stage in 1986.
English head coach John Herdman is clearly keen to maintain the momentum of an impressive qualifying campaign after naming an experienced squad for this event.
Getting Bayern Munich superstar Alphonso Davies back from injury was a boost and he scored twice in Thursday’s 4-0 drubbing of Curacao in Vancouver.
Steven Vitoria and Lucas Cavallini also netted, while goalkeeper Milan Borjan did not have to make a single save.
The Reds showed no ill-effects from missing two friendlies and a couple of training sessions due to an ongoing dispute over wages.
“That was a dominant performance,” said Herdman. “Really proud of them, given everything that’s gone on the last few days.
“For them to come out with that sort of intent, I’m really impressed.”
Canada’s run of success is no fluke, as this is a professional outfit with plenty of big-match experience.
We reckon they can wear down Honduras in the latter stages of each half, just as they did with Curacao.
Let’s add 3.3 for the Reds to score between 30:01 and the interval to our Honduras vs Canada betting tips.
