Betting on USA
The United States held on but failed to maintain their lead in the first round and ended up allowing a late goal to Brazil to lose 1-0, which puts them in a position of need for this match against Honduras.
That result broke a streak of two consecutive victories before the start of these Pan American Games. If they don’t win again they’d be in serious trouble heading into the last round, as they would need to beat Colombia and wait for other results to end up in their favor.
Expected lineup (4-4-2): Chris Brady; Bryan Reynolds, Brandan Craig, Maximiliano Dietz, Caleb Wiley; Benjamin Cremaschi, Gianluca Busio, Aidan Morris, Obed Vargas; Cabin Taylor, Duncan McGuire.
Betting on Honduras
Honduras also knows that it’s now or never since their last match in the 1st phase of the Pan American Games is against Brazil, a complicated opponent. They must take advantage in this game against the US, with the leaders of it’s group facing each other in this round, the three points in this match is vital.
Like the United States, Honduras began this group stage with a defeat, losing 2-0 to Colombia in a clash where they had to swim against the tide from the beginning since they allowed the two goals before half-time, a situation they’ll to try to avoid in this new appointment.
Expected lineup (4-3-3): Juergen García; Edson Palacios, André Orellana, Luis Vega, Julián Martínez; Gerson Chávez, David Ruíz, Deyron Martínez; Samiel Elvir, Daniel Carter, Antony García.
JefeBet’s Prediction
If we have to rescue something from the performances of any of these two teams in the first round, is the fact that the US definitely showed a better display, standing up to Brazil and managing to resist for almost 90 minutes against the Canarinha, while Honduras was easily defeated by Colombia.
USA should be able to win here, although we believe it will be a close match against a Honduras, who will retreat and seek to take advantage on counterattacks. This could be a problem for a United States team that had trouble creating dangerous opportunities in the first round.
Prediction: Under (USA 1-0 HON)
