USA are under fire and under pressure after losing to Canada, but should get their World Cup campaign back on track when entertaining Honduras.
Los Catrachos are bottom of the CONCACAF group after tasting defeat in six straight qualifiers and failing to score in the last couple.
We’re taking 1.9 for the Stars and Stripes to prevail 1-0, 2-0 or 3-0 in our first USA vs Honduras prediction.
USA were Nations League and Gold Cup winners last summer but the road to Qatar 2022 has been far from smooth.
Three draws and two defeats from 10 rounds of matches have left them four points behind leaders Canada and fighting it out for the other two automatic spots with Mexico and Panama.
After going down 2-0 to the Canucks on Sunday, the scrutiny on head coach Gregg Berhalter and his tactics has escalated.
Berhalter refused to press any panic buttons, defiantly declaring: “I think it was an entire team effort that was outstanding.
“We asked them to be dominant, we asked them to embrace the conditions, embrace the physicality of the opponent – and I think we did that and more.
“So, the result hurts, the performance doesn’t hurt. I’m proud of the guys, proud of the way they competed.”
Few supporters would share that view, as the Stars and Stripes had plenty of possession but produced woefully little penetration up front.
This is still a game they should cruise through, but only two of America’s 13 goals so far have come before the half-time break and we’re not expecting an early deluge.
Looking at the USA vs Honduras odds, we like 2.85 for the hosts to be just 1-0 ahead at the interval.
Honduras have gone downhill since reaching the 2010 and 2014 World Cup tournaments and look woefully short of confidence and self-belief at present.
They have scored in only two of their last six qualifiers following back-to-back 2-0 home defeats versus Canada and El Salvador.
Although drawing three of their first four matches in this pool, Los Catrachos were brushed aside 4-1 by the USA in San Pedro Sula even when in a better frame of mind.
Romell Quioto, Alberth Elis, Anthony Lozano and playmaker Brayan Moya are decent attacking options on paper.
However, head coach Hernan Dario Gomez just hasn’t been able to get them to transfer fair club form to the international arena.
The easy option is to finish off our USA vs Honduras betting tips by taking 4.6 for the visitors to suffer a third straight 2-0 reversal.
