Prediction published on 05/07/2017, 08:05  by in Football Predictions

Honduras will open their quest for the 2017 CONCACAF Gold Cup on Saturday 8th July with a game against Costa Rica at the Red Bull Arena in New Jersey, seeking only their second title after their triumph in 1981. The two sides have grown accustomed to playing each other and faced off most recently three months ago in a World Cup qualifier. Both will be hoping the match springs them to a fine run after an inconsistent show lately. Honduras head to the game with just two wins in their last 10 outings. They have gone winless in the last five matches, drawing three and losing two while in the process scoring five and conceding a massive 14. They will meet a Costa Rica side that brought to an end a run of six winless matches with a 2 – 1 victory over Trinidad and Tobago, heading to this clash. Costa Rica thus have a win, two draws and two losses in their last five and have scored three goals, and conceded five. They have two losses in their last 15 matches but head to the clash with a bad run against Honduras, having last won this fixture in 2013. Head to head, the two sides have met 52 times and Honduras have 18 wins, with Costa Rica winning 22.
