Honduras faces Israel as they look to find their form before their plane lands in Brazil.

Honduras has not been in the best form recently. They have won only one of their past five matches; this is hardly ideal, especially prior to a World Cup. They took on Turkey recently and lost the match 0-2. The team they are set to take on is not doing much better either in terms of form. Israel will look to put more dents into Honduras’ hopes ahead of the World Cup.

Honduras’s strikers for one will be hoping to impact this match more than they did the one against Turkey. Carlos Costly was not even used by his coach; he has 30 goals in 68 appearances for the nation and might have an impact in this one. Also, Jerry Bengtson scored nine goals in ten matches in qualifying for the World Cup; he might score against Israel.

Honduras has recorded one win, two draws and two losses in their past five matches. The losses came to Turkey, as mentioned before, and Brazil. Brazil was especially merciless; they put exactly five past Honduras. The draws came against nations that Honduras has to beat to have any chance of advancing from a group consisting of France, Switzerland and Ecuador, namely Jamaica in a World Cup qualifier and coincidentally, Ecuador, in a friendly.

Speaking of coincidence, Israel’s last win actually came against Honduras in June of the previous year. On that day, Hen Ezra and Shimon Abuhatzira scored for the Israelis in the second half. Neither of them are set to feature in this match as their coach, Eli Guttman, has not selected both the Maccabi Haifa players for the friendlies in the USA.

Israel lost 3-0 to Mexico in their most recent friendly. In their past five matches, they have recorded three defeats and two draws. They also lost to Slovakia, 1-3 and Russia, 3-1. They did manage to pick up draws, 1-1 in both cases, against Portugal and Northern Ireland in World Cup qualifying.
