The International Friendly match between Honduras and Barbados will take place at Olympia Stadium Baton Rouge on Monday at 5:30 am IST.
Honduras will enhance their readiness for the CONCACAF Gold Cup in a friendly match against Barbados on Sunday at Olympia Stadium Baton Rouge. Honduras, who recently suffered a significant loss to Canada during the March international break, will be seeking to bounce back in this encounter. Meanwhile, Barbados aims to secure consecutive wins.
In March, Honduras concluded their CONCACAF Nations League campaign with a challenging match against Canada at BMO Field, resulting in a 4-1 defeat. Early goals from Cyle Larin, scoring twice within the first 12 minutes, put Honduras at a disadvantage, and they were unable to mount a comeback. However, Jorge Benguche did manage to score a consolation goal in the latter stages of the second half. Under the guidance of Diego Vasquez, the Honduran team secured a second-place finish in their Nations League group, positioned behind Canada and ahead of Curacao. This accomplishment ensures their participation in League A for the next edition of the competition.
Barbados had a relatively unsuccessful Nations League campaign during the international break in March, managing to secure their only victory of the competition with a 2-1 away win against Antigua and Barbuda. Although Myles Weston gave the hosts an early lead at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium after 30 minutes, Barbados turned the tide in the second half with goals from Thierry Gale and Tajio James, earning a rare maximum points for the visitors that day. With only three points gathered throughout the Nations League, Barbados will be competing in League C in the next edition after their promotion from that level in 2019.
Honduras probable starting lineup: L Lopez, Garcia, Maldonado, Leveron, Almendarez, D Flores, Arriaga, F Flores, Lopez, Lozano, Rosales
Barbados probable starting lineup: Sanchez, Matos, Morejon, Paradela, Piedra, Pozo-Venta, Perez, Cavafe, Reyes, Espino
