The CONCACAF Nations League match between Cuba and Honduras will take place at Estadio Olimpico Felix Sanchez on Friday at 6:30 am IST.
Cuba and Honduras are set to compete for a spot in the top two positions of Group B in a CONCACAF Nations League match. On the second matchday, Cuba secured their first-ever win in League A by defeating Suriname 1-0, putting them one point ahead of Honduras, who won 4-0 against Grenada, securing the second position in the group. Reinaldo Rueda, who was reappointed as the Honduran manager last summer, finally achieved his first victory on the third attempt.
The 4-0 victory was the largest margin of victory for Los Catrachos since their 4-0 win over Grenada at the 2021 Gold Cup. Honduras has faced some heavy defeats this year, with two of their four losses being by three or more goals. It was also the first time they scored the opening goal since their 1-0 win against El Salvador in March. Historically, Honduras has won their last four matches when scoring the first goal. Honduras has a strong track record in Nations League contests played in the Caribbean, having lost only one out of four since 2019-20.
They have consistently conceded one goal or fewer in these matches, with the only loss coming on the first matchday of this season against Jamaica. La H has not suffered a defeat in matches where they scored multiple goals for nearly two years, with the last such loss being a 3-2 defeat at home to Panama in November 2021, where they squandered a 2-0 lead and conceded three goals in the final 13 minutes.
Cuba’s probable starting lineup: Arozarena, Morejon, Piedra, Cavafe, Corrales, Sanchez, Perez, O. Hernandez, Pozo-Venta, Matos, Paradela
Honduras’s probable starting lineup: Menjivar, Maldonado, Vega, Najar, Alvarez, Acosta, Rodriguez, Lopez, Rivas, Quioto, Elis
