Honduras 12th man is only one more supporter of the team, but the venue itself has been a fortress for Los Catrachos over the past 50 years against Mexico. The giant of CONCACAF has not been so big when playing against Honduras on the road, but they hope to change history this Tuesday with a new coach.
Juan Carlos Osorio had the debut he wanted with El Tri against El Salvador. The Colombian manager lead Mexico to a comfortable 3-0 win over the visitors at the Estadio Azteca. Five days later, he finds himself leading the same team into a territory where the crowd and the venue will be against him and his team.
For starters, the game is played at 3 p.m. local time. In Mexico, only two teams plays at noon and those are Pumas and Toluca. Every other team has their home games after 5 p.m. Those that play in cities with regularly hot temperatures have their games played at night.
The field of Estadio Azteca was in perfect conditions, while the one at the Estadio Olímpico has already been criticezed by Osorio and his team. At the same time, they don't want to make that an excuse for what could happen during the game.
It is almost winter time in Honduras and the temperature for the game is estimated to be around 30 degrees celsius with a high humidity index. The crowd in Honduras does like to make things hard for the visiting team, specially when that team is Mexico. The close to 35,000 fans in the stadium will be loud against El Tri.
52 security escorts from Honduras local police and military have been appointed to follow Mexico's National Team during their time in Honduras. Players like Javier Hernández and Carlos Vela have received extra personnel to watch every move as a safety precaution. Close to 600 elements will be in charge of security in and around the stadium.
