Panama v Honduras Betting Preview – World Cup 2018 Qualifiers 14th June
This is a massively important game for Panama as they would climb back into the top three in CONCACAF qualifying for Russia 2018. They are still in the mix and would do themselves a huge favour with three points in his one to put pressure on the USA and Costa Rica. Honduras have incentive as well in this one as they would climb up into fourth place, the play-off spot, at the expense of Panama.

Panama v Honduras Betting Tips
The road to Russia 2018 all started with a 1-0 away win in Honduras for Panama. Now, this is their big opportunity to complete the double over them and boost their hopes of qualification to next summer’s World Cup. Panama kicks off the midweek action in fourth place in the CONCACAF Zone and would end up inside the top three somewhere (as second place Costa Rica are playing the same night). This is just the opportunity that Panama needs but since winning that opener, they have gone D3 L1 in their four following qualification matches. So not great, but they are still in with a good shot if they can find the goals.They have scored just twice in their five games so far and under 2.5 goals at Bet365 looks to be a bit of a banker at 4/9 for this one and under 1.5 goals is a tempting 6/4 punt.
A Panama 1-0 correct score at Bet365 is a 4/1 option and that looks great value with Panama having only conceded two goals and they have held both the USA and Mexico to a draw at home in qualification so far. Panama’s head to head with Honduras is W3 D4 L1 in their last eight, so there’s enough there to suggest that they can just sneak this. Honduras have lost both of their away games in qualification so far, conceding nine and scoring none. They are a low scoring side as well, much like Panama, and they have scored just the four goals in their five games (three of those in their lone win over Trinidad) but they have shipped twelve. That defensive weakness should be the difference on the day to favour Panama and both teams not to score at Bet365 is a price of 8/13.

Panama v Honduras Predictions
Draw: Hard to see a winner being produced in this one and half of the last six meetings have ended in a draw. Panama have been resilient enough to avoid defeat on home soil and Honduras may lack the quality to hurt them enough.
