Honduras 2010 World Cup Team

Honduras Football Team Profile & Form

The Honduras football team qualified for the 2010 Football World Cup by finishing third in the CONACAF qualifying group. The Honduran team finished the qualifying boasting the best defensive record in the tournament.

Outside of World Cup qualifying, Honduras has put in a series of decent performances against lower-ranked CONACAF and CONMEBOL teams.

A win against Chile in January of 2009 represents the team’s best performance during the qualifying period, and is the only result that suggests that the Honduras football team may have the ability to reach the second stage of the 2010 Football World Cup.

Honduras World Cup Betting Tip

Honduras is trading at 500/1 in the antepost outright World Cup betting markets at some bookmakers. These odds are probably a realistic reflection of the team’s chances of making it to the final of the tournament, and we’d instead look to lay the Hondurans at betting exchanges during World Cup matches.
