Canada v Honduras: Forecast, Odds and Bets

June 16, 2025

The 2025 CONCACAF Gold Cup clash between Canada and Honduras is set for June 18, 2025. Fans across Europe can catch all the action live early in the morning, as the match kicks off at 04:30 CEST in Italy, Germany, France and Spain, and at 03:30 BST in the UK. Though the exact venue has yet to be confirmed, anticipation is already building for what promises to be a competitive encounter.

This fixture pits two familiar regional rivals against each other in the group stage of the tournament co-hosted by Canada and the USA from June 14 to July 6. Having returned to the world stage at the 2022 FIFA World Cup after a 36-year absence, Canada arrive with high hopes, while Honduras will be eager to spoil the party and claim an early scalp.

How are both teams coming into this?

Canada head into this game as one of the pre-tournament favorites, thanks largely to a squad bolstered by European talent. With several key players plying their trade at top clubs abroad, the Canadian side has developed a greater tactical maturity and is well-drilled under their current coaching staff. Their recent return to global competition has instilled confidence and belief throughout the squad.

Honduras, on the other hand, will take heart from their history of upsets in CONCACAF tournaments. Known for their physicality and resilience, the Central Americans have often proven tricky opponents. While they may be underdogs on paper, they will look to exploit any defensive lapses and capitalize on set-piece situations to get a positive result.

Our forecast

We expect Canada to dominate possession and press high from the off, aiming to unsettle Honduras early. With their attacking flair and pace on the wings, they should create numerous chances, particularly in transitions. The host nation’s defense has also shown improved solidity, making them difficult to break down.

That said, Honduras won’t be pushovers and could threaten on the counterattack. We anticipate at least two goals in this match, with Canada narrowly edging out Honduras. A 2-1 victory for Canada looks the most likely scenario, but punters may also want to consider both teams finding the net given Honduras’s potency on the break.
