Gambia vs Honduras Prediction: Defensive Problems

Prediction for the match between Gambia vs Honduras, which will take place on May 23d. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Gambia had a great draw in the African Cup. In the group stage, they beat South Sudan in the quarterfinals at 5:0 and Nigeria at 1:0 in the semifinals but still lost to Senegal - at 0:2 in the final meeting, conceding twice. Nevertheless, all they needed to qualify for World Cup was to enter the top four of the continent, as they did. The Gambians have a good squad that includes players from Tenerife, Slavia, and Bayern.

Honduras made their way to the World Cup through the CONCACAF. Teams from the Dominican Republic, the United States, and Guatemala qualified for the World Cup, defeating some solid teams. They had a decent run in the group stage, winning three games (9:0), beating Curacao 4:1 in the last 16 and Panama 2:1 in the quarterfinals, but losing 0-3 to the United States in the semifinals. Nevertheless, it was enough to be in the top four to qualify for the World Cup in Argentina.

Gambia is approaching the World Cup 2023 in great shape. They were vice-champions at their continental tournament, losing only to a tough Senegal team. Against Honduras, the Africans are the favorites. Yet, in the last six meetings, they have won five shutouts, which shows their great defense. At the same time, in the attack, they make the most of their chances. 

We don't expect high-scoring activity. Gambia conceded only two goals in the last six matches (0.50 average). Only one in the nine meetings ended with the TO, when they defeated South Sudan - 5:0. Honduras, can't allow such a thing to happen to them. Moreover, there have been no goal exchanges in the last six games involving the Africans.
