Honduras vs Jamaica Match Analysis & Prediction
11/09/2024 5:00 am
The final matchday two fixture in Group B at the CONCACAF Nations League will see Honduras and Jamaica meet at Estadio Jose de la Paz Herrera Ucles on Wednesday.
Los Catrachos secured a convincing 4-0 victory over Trinidad and Tobago on matchday one, while the Reggae Boyz had to settle for a goalless draw with Cuba.
After trading chances with the Soca Warriors in the opening half hour on Friday, a brilliant long-range strike put Honduras in front six minutes before the break on matchday one.
It was a one-way traffic for Reinaldo Rueda’s side after that, as they scored three more goals, winning for the third time in the last four competitive matches.
All of those victories were convincing ones for Honduras, who scored three or more goals in each of those wins while winning their previous two Nations League games by a combined 8-0 margin.
In recent matches, Honduras have scored many goals, and in this competition, they have been equally sharp defensively as they have not conceded a goal in their last five Nations League group games.
La H have won their last six matches against CONCACAF sides in Honduras and have not lost to a team from this region in their home country since suffering a 2-1 defeat to Curacao at Estadio Olimpico Metropolitano in June 2022.
Meanwhile, in his opening game as Jamaican manager, Steven McClaren saw his side waste numerous golden opportunities against Cuba, as the Reggae Boyz are now winless in four consecutive matches across all competitions.
Despite playing the entire second half up a man and having 73% possession throughout the match, they could not find that decisive breakthrough, failing to score for the third time in four encounters.
While they have lost their last three matches played outside Jamaica, the Reggae Boyz have never been beaten away from home in the group stage of this tournament.
McClaren’s side have not lost to a Central American opponent since a 1-0 defeat at home to Costa Rica in a February 2022 World Cup qualifier.
Honduras vs. Jamaica Head to head
