Spain v Honduras

It was thought that Spain would win every game in World Cup Group H but they have started with a loss meaning both of these teams are on no points having both lost their opening matches 1-0. Spain don't become a bad team overnight though so it may be best to just put a line through that performance.

Spain can't afford to underperform agaisnt Honduras and any dropped points for Spain mean they would struggle to qualify for the next round.

BACK SPAIN TO BEAT HONDURAS

Honduras are one of the biggest priced teams in the World Cup Outright Betting and they will probably just go out and try to enjoy this game against the European Champions. If they can keep the score down to a couple of goals they would surely be very happy. As long as Spain get a quite early goal this should be very comfortable for them.

The Asian Handicap is an interesting bet as it usually gives one team a lead that should be enough to cancel out any superiority the favourites for the game have.

BACK SPAIN -2

Spain should definitely win this game by a few goals and it would be a surprise if they did not get at least three goals. they are capable of scoring more than that but they might take their foot off the gas when it gets comfortable so sticking with Spain -2 is probably the best option for this tie.

BACK SPAIN TO WIN 3-0 AND OVER 2.5 GOALS

Spain are capable of really punishing weaker sides (and even better sides) and they scored three or more goals in half of their qualifying games, which is not easy unless you have plenty of attacking talent. They should score at least three goals and that means whether Honduras score or not it should definitely be over 2.5 goals.

In qualifying Honduras conceded five goals against USA in two matches and four goals against Mexico in four games so on that basis Spain should be looking to put at least three goals past them, maybe four, but probably no more than that. chile could have easily had three goals against Gonduras and Spain may be able to actually get three goals with their superior strikers.

 

Spain v Honduras Player Odds

Spain v Honduras Team News

Spain may decide to rest one or two players for this match but since it is only their second game that is unwise unless players already have picked up knocks. This means Spain should continue with first choice strikers Fernando Torres and David Villa.

BACK DAVID VILLA TO SCORE FIRST AND AT ANYTIME AGAINST HONDURAS

Spanish striker David Villa has often proved his team's best scorer, he scored seven goals in qualifying and that was seven more than Fernando Torres, he was top scorer at Euro 2008 and despite drawing a blank in his opening match, he is expected to stake his claim for the World Cup Golden Boot in this match, he should be backed to score first and at anytime against Honduras.

BACK SPAIN / SPAIN IN THE HALF TIME / FULL TIME BETTING

Spain are not prolific first half scorers but the gulf in class should make up for that and they could already be a couple of goals ahead by the time the half time whistle goes. Spain to be winning at half time and full time is not going to make anyone rich but it should be as good a bet at the price as you get in a World Cup match.

 

Spain v Honduras Best Bet

BACK DAVID VILLA TO SCORE ANYTIME

Whenever Spain play a team of much lower quality than themselves it is going to be a chance for David Villa to score a hatfull. He will probably score more than one goal so backing him to score anytime looks a very safe bet and rates the best bet of the entire game.
