Canada vs Honduras Match Preview

Their key to success: defense. A clean sheet against Jamaica and El Salvador were vital for the Canadians who then conceded two goals against Costa Rica in the third round. Nevertheless, a draw in that game saw them book their place in the quarterfinals of the Gold Cup where they will now face favorites Honduras.

It was another story for Los Catrachos as they made it through to the next stage of the competition. After losing 2-0 to rivals USA, Honduras were left in a tricky position to qualify for the quarters. But Grenada succumbed to an inevitable 4-0 defeat against Honduras whereas Haiti were held by the Yankees. Eventually, Honduras qualified from Group B second best behind the United States of America.

Favorites Honduras to survive Canada’s army?

Los Catrachos are tipped among the favorites of the Gold Cup competition. Their pace and sharpness make the trick. With Martinez and Costly, Honduras own strength in depth, commanding play, and attacking instinct. Their defeat to the USA was the only moment when Honduras failed to leave up to expectations; they were shocked by a pair of unfamiliar goal scorers who stroke a goal each in a space of three minutes. Well, this sudden loss should be enough Los Catrachos to spot their weaknesses and recover from them. Canada are another side from Northern America just like the USA, but the problems they will want to pose may not be similar to those of the Yankees.

Canada have much experience in the Gold Cup tournament, finishing third in the previous edition. Since their 3-0 defeat to Jamaica in November 2008, the Canucks have not lost a single game, leaving them undefeated in the year 2009. Who will break the Canadian’s record? Are Honduras capable of handing them a defeat in the knock-out stages – a moment where failing to win means the exit?

The tension promises to be high between Canada and Honduras and the result seems unpredictable. Tactical smartness might do for the Canadians as the rapid Catrachos arguably seem superior to them in terms of individual skill.
