Honduras will look to lock up the top spot in Group B when it takes on Trinidad and Tobago on Monday in the CONCACAF Gold Cup 2013.
Los Catrachos enter the match with six points after two matches. In their opening game, the Hondurans struggled mightily against a determined Haitian side. However, the team wound up finding a way to score two huge goals en route to a 2-0 victory. In the follow up Honduras faced a determined Salvadorian side that pushed them to the limit. However, Honduras' Jorge Claros managed a goal in the second minute of second-half stoppage to earn a 1-0 win for Los Catrachos.
Honduras can lock up first place with a draw in its final match.
They will face a Trinidad and Tobago squad that is fighting for its life. The Soca Warriors earned a hard-fought 2-2 draw with El Salvador in their opening match but were defeated 2-0 by a superior Haiti squad in the follow-up. In order to qualify, the team will need to win this game and hope for a draw in the other match between Haiti and El Salvador. This will secure them a draw for second place with Haiti. If this scenario played out, then Trinidad would need to win by three or more goals against Honduras to win the goal differential tie breaker.
Trinidad would also qualify under this scenario if it finishes in third place because its four points would make it among the top two third-place sides in the tournament.
Prediction: Honduras plays a conservative match and earns a 1-1 draw.
Start Time: Kickoff starts at 9:30 p.m. EST.
