Canada face Honduras in their CONCACAF Nations League fixture on Monday

Honduras invite Canada to the Estadio Olimpico in their CONCACAF Nations League group stage fixture on Monday.

The home team have played two games in the continental competition thus far, while this will be just the second game for Canada. Honduras opened their campaign with a 1-0 away win against Curacao but fell to a 2-1 loss in the reverse fixture on Monday.

Canada played their first game since March on Thursday against Curacao. Despite the ongoing friction between the players and the football federation, they performed well in that match.

Alphonso Davies bagged a brace while goals from Steven Vitória and Lucas Lucas Cavallini helped them to a 4-0 win.

Honduras vs Canada Prediction

Honduras have scored and conceded two goals in their two Nations League fixtures, so might fancy their chances of finding the back of the net. Canada scored four goals against Curacao and looked solid throughout the game.

They are strong favorites here but given home advantage for Honduras, the win is likely to be a narrow one.

Prediction: Honduras 1-2 Canada
