Ecuador vs Honduras: key statistics and trends

• Ecuador has lost twice in its 12 previous matches.
• Honduras lost in 1 out of 7 previous games.

Ecuador – the shape of the team and its analysis:

“The Tricolor” started a new qualification for the World Championship last autumn. Starting with a defeat to Argentina (a 0-1 score on the away field), the team then had a good run. There were 3 wins and a couple of draws, which allowed it to gain a foothold at the top of the table.

The team played quite actively in friendly matches in 2024. There was a 2-0 victory over Guatemala and an equally hopeless defeat against Italy in March. It managed to play with Argentina and Bolivia over the past week. There were quite expected results: a 0-1 score in the struggle with the grandee and a 1-3 result in the confrontation with the outsider.

Honduras – the shape of the team and its analysis:

“Los Catrachos” played at the second world championship in a row in 2014. Still, firstly, they showed nothing there again, and secondly, they really didn’t achieve anything special over the next 10 years. The team was close to knock out Mexico in last year’s Nations League quarter-finals, but the exchanging of 2-0 victories was followed by the penalty shoot-out, which brought the success to the opponent. Speaking about 2024, the team lost the dispute for the right to play in the summer Copa America without much struggle – 1-3. Nowadays, there is a battle in the qualification for the next World Cup. Having won the home match against Cuba (3-1), the team defeated Bermuda with a 6-1 score. This time, there will be an opponent of a completely different level.
