Argentina vs Honduras Prediction 28 May 2016

Tournament: Friendly match
Location: San Juan del Bicentenario
Match date: 05/28/2016 at 00:00

Argentina had a slow start in the WC-2018 qualification. They were beaten by Ecuador 0:2. However, Gerardo Martino’s side managed to improve their performance after that bitter loss. La Albiceleste tied Paraguay (0:0) and Brazil (1:1) and then beat Colombia (1:0), Chile (2:1) and Bolivia (2:0). As a result they are currently 3rd in the group with 11 points earned being 2 points behind leading Uruguay and Ecuador. We should mention that Martino’s side has the poorest number of goals scored among all teams in the group along with Peru national team (6).

 Jorge Luis Pinto’s side in turn have been battling against Mexico, Canada and El Salvador in the group A of the WC-2018 qualifiers in CONCACAF fourth round. First they were beaten by Canada (0:1) and Mexico (0:2), however, Honduras national team managed to tie El Salvador and beat them at home 2:0 in the back-to-back games. As a result they are 2nd in the group with 4 points earned and -1 goal difference falling 8 points behind 1st Mexico.

The two sides have met only once before. It was in 2003 in a friendly match as well. Argentina national team beat their today’s opponents 3:1 back then. Considering the odds Honduras have almost no chances to at least tie La Albiceleste. Although Argentina have been struggling offensively despite magnificent attacking flair, they are rock solid in defense. Honduras will surely find it hard to net a goal against Martino’s side.
