Our prediction for this Gold Cup match:
BC Place will host Wednesday’s Group B game between Canada and Honduras, the two teams that meet at the Gold Cup for the first time since 2017. Back then the two sides played out a goalless draw, but the Canucks are seen as hot favourites to win this match. Bayern Munich ace Alphonso Davies has been ruled out with injury and, in his absence, the likes of Jonathan David and Tajon Buchanan will be the men to watch in the home team. Vice-captain Stephen Eustaquio will miss the group stages due to his participation at the FIFA Club World Cup with Porto.
Los Catrachos, on the other hand, are on a four-game winning run in all competitions ahead of their 2025 Gold Cup opener, but given the number of high-profile footballers in Jesse Marsch’s team, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the nominal hosts. In their last meeting in a competitive match, Canada outplayed Honduras 4-1. The good news for Honduras is that duo Denil Maldonado – Jose Mario Pinto is back to the squad after missing out the last World Cup qualifier with injuries.
Highlighted Team (Canada):

Canada national football team played their first official match back in 1924 when they suffered a 3-2 loss to Australia in Brisbane. The following year the two teams faced each other one in Adelaide, with the Canadians managing to get their revenge on the Socceroos. The Canucks had several unsuccessful attempts to make it to the World Cup finals, but in 1986 they finally booked their place at the showpiece tournament.
Canada faced France in their opener, with Jean-Pierre Papin scoring the winner for les Tricolores in the dying minutes of the match. The Canadians were beaten by Hungary and USSR in the next two group games as well and, as a result, they failed to advance to the knockout stages.
Speaking of the team’s trophies, the Canucks won the CONCACAF Gold cup on two occasions (1985, 2000), with the team beating Honduras and Colombia respectively in the title games. Canada national football team play their home games at BMO Field and the capacity of the venue is 30,000.
