Costa Rica vs Honduras Pick and Prediction
ODDS | AI PICKS |
MONEYLINE | Honduras +250 |
It will be challenging to make a pick based on the Costa Rica vs Honduras odds this weekend. There is little separating the nations based on recent stats, and that is highlighted by the fact that each of the teams have recorded one win across the last three meetings between the sides.
However, it could be worth siding with Honduras, who come into this clash after winning three of their last five internationals.
Costa Rica vs Honduras Head to Head
Costa Rica landed a 2-1 success in the previous international between these sides in November 2021. That was their first success in three matches against their rivals, with two of the last four ending in draws. The only win for Honduras since mid-2013 was achieved in World Cup qualification in October 2013.

HONDURAS | +160 | +250 | +0.5 | U 2 |

The Costa Rica vs Honduras odds show the former as the +115 favorites. The international odds have a Honduras win priced up at +250, with the draw being an unlikely outcome in this match on the international schedule at +225.
Costa Rica vs Honduras Analysis
Costa Rica Preview
The betting shows Costa Rica as the clear favorites to progress through to the Copa America this year. However, they will need to bounce back from some really poor displays at the end of last year.
The Costa Rica roster were hammered in the quarterfinal stage of the Nations League, losing by a 6-1 aggregate scoreline against Panama. They have at least bounced back to form with a win over El Salvador in their most recent international.
However, it could be challenging to overlook the international player stats that show how many goals that they concede. That is highlighted by the fact that they have allowed ten goals across their last four internationals.
There are no fresh international injuries to deal with for Costa Rica this weekend, but the fact that they have won just two matches in their last six would be a huge concern.
Honduras Preview
Honduras will be looking to achieve their second appearance at the Copa America this year, with the international standings showing that they finished third overall on their debut appearance in 2001.
The Honduras stats will give them confidence ahead of this playoff match, as the nation have won three of their last six internationals. One of their biggest wins was achieved in the quarterfinal stage of the Nations League, beating Mexico 2-0.
However, they were unable to make that advantage count after losing on penalties in the return fixture. They also come into this match on Saturday after losing their previous fixture against Iceland in Florida in January.
But, their record over the last 12 months is a positive one, and that could be an interesting trend to consider. Honduras suffered just one defeat in their last five internationals at the end of last year.
