Prediction: 1-1
Honduras
After sharing the spoils with Qatar in their 2021 Gold Cup opener, Panama will be looking to record their first win of the tournament when they face Honduras at BBVA Compass Stadium. Los Canaleros looked sharp in front of goal in their opener, and we are positive that they will adopt yet another attack-minded approach against Honduras. A man to watch in the home team will be Rolando Blackburn, who scored a brace in the 3-3 draw with Qatar.
Los Catrachos, on the other hand, rolled over Grenada 4-0 in their first game of the tournament, and seeing that star attacker Jerry Bengtson continues to impress with the national team, both teams to score betting option should be considered. In their last meeting in a competitive match Panama and Honduras played out a 2-2 draw. This will be their fifth encounter at the Gold Cup finals.

Highlighted Team (Honduras):
Honduras are a national football team from Central America that qualified for the World Cup finals for the first time in 1982. Los Catrachos did well to share the spoils with hosts Spain at the showpiece tournament, but they eventually failed to book their place in the knockout stages.
Honduras participated at the 2010 and the 2014 FIFA World Cup finals as well, but they failed to impress at the tournaments in South Africa and Brazil. Winning of the 1981 CONCACAF Championship is undisputedly the team’s biggest success and it has to be noted that they finished the final round in top position in the standings, two points clear of El Salvador and three above Mexico.
Los Catrachos were beaten by Canada in the 1985 Gold Cup final, with the team finishing the 1991 tournament as runners-up as well. Wilson Palacios, who used to play for the likes of Tottenham Hotspur and Stoke City as regarded as one of the most notable footballers who represented Honduras national team on the international stage.
