Team Reviews
Honduras
Honduras, nicknamed Los Catrachos and coached by Reinaldo Rueda, is second in Group B with 3 points after a 6-2 loss to Canada on June 17, 2025, at BC Place, Vancouver, and a 2-0 win over El Salvador on June 21, at Shell Energy Stadium, Houston, with goals from Romell Quioto (33’) and Dixon Ramírez (90+3’). Their form shows 2 wins and 2 losses in their last four competitive matches, averaging 1.5 goals scored and 2.0 goals conceded per game. Key players include Quioto, a veteran forward with 16 international goals, and midfielder Edwin Rodríguez, who assisted Quioto’s goal. Honduras’ strengths are their physicality and ability to capitalize when leading at halftime (6 wins in 8 matches in 2025 when ahead). However, their defense collapsed against Canada (6 goals conceded), and they need at least a draw to advance to the quarter-finals, with a win potentially securing first place if Canada loses to El Salvador. They qualified via Nations League B.
Curaçao
Curaçao, known as La Familia Azul and managed by Dick Advocaat, is third in Group B with 2 points after 0-0 draws against El Salvador and a 1-1 draw with Canada on June 21, 2025, in Houston, where Jeremy Antonisse scored a 94th-minute equalizer. Their form includes 1 win, 3 draws, and 1 loss in their last five, averaging 0.8 goals scored and 0.8 goals conceded. Key players include goalkeeper Eloy Room, who made key saves against El Salvador, and winger Jürgen Locadia, who assisted Antonisse’s goal. Curaçao’s strengths are their defensive resilience (2 goals conceded in 5 games) and late-game heroics, but their lack of goals (2 in 5 games) and reliance on stoppage-time results are concerns. They must win to guarantee quarter-final qualification, topping the group if Canada loses. They qualified via Gold Cup Prelims, defeating Bermuda 7-3 on aggregate.
Head-to-Head
Honduras and Curaçao have met four times in competitive play, with Curaçao leading 2-1-1. Curaçao won 1-0 in the 2019 Gold Cup (Leandro Bacuna, 40’) and 2-1 in the 2022-23 Nations League (Bacuna, 34’; Anthony van den Hurk, 82’). Their 1973 World Cup qualifier ended 2-2. Honduras’ sole win was a 2-1 friendly in 2018. Matches average 2.5 goals, with 50% over 2.5 goals, favoring Curaçao’s defensive style but suggesting potential for goals.
Prediction: Honduras 1-1 Curaçao
This Group B decider on June 24, 2025, at PayPal Park, San Jose, at 10:00 PM ET (7:00 PM local time), is pivotal for quarter-final spots. Honduras’ physical edge and Quioto’s form could exploit Curaçao’s low-scoring attack, but Curaçao’s stubborn defense and Room’s shot-stopping (5 saves vs. Canada) make them tough to break down. Honduras needs a draw to likely advance, per ESPN’s scenarios, while Curaçao requires a win. Posts on X show Curaçao’s confidence after their Canada draw but note Honduras’ counter-attacking threat. Both teams’ trends (Honduras: 60% of last 5 over 2.5 goals; Curaçao: 20%) and Curaçao’s historical edge suggest a tight game. Referee Mario Escobar may issue cards if Honduras’ physicality intensifies. The match, streamed on FS1 and FuboTV, should be low-scoring but intense.
Honduras may score through Quioto, while Antonisse or Locadia could equalize for Curaçao. A draw likely sends Honduras through as runners-up, with Curaçao’s knockout hopes hinging on Canada’s result against El Salvador.
