Why bet on Honduras

The Honduran national team has been in fine form this year, beating Canada and the United States in qualifying before drawing 1-1 in a friendly with Germany in their last game before the Olympics.

Why bet on Romania

Romania’s Olympic team has played four games in 2021 and has one loss, one win and two draws.

Final betting analysis between: Honduras vs. Romania

The Honduran team has played seven games in 2021 and has only lost once, to Japan in Osaka, and we believe the extra preparation could give them a boost in the group stage as they look to fight for a medal again.

However, we believe the nature of the match could see both sides take few risks as they prioritize avoiding a damaging defeat to start the group stage, potentially seeing this turn into a low-scoring encounter as a result, so we predict a 1-1 draw in advance.
