Qatar vs Honduras Prediction & Pick
After Qatar and Honduras lost their respective opening matchups, both sides could use a bounce-back performance on Thursday. Fortunately for one country, it's gotten the better of the other in the past. Qatar has beaten Honduras in both of their previous head-to-head matchups, which includes a 2-0 victory in the group stage of the 2021 CONCACAF Gold Cup.
With Honduras getting demolished by Mexico, I like Qatar's chances of winning this meeting . Yes, the Qataris lost their opening tilt, too, but they did score first against Haiti and nearly pulled off a draw before the latter scored in stoppage time.
Needless to say, I expect a more complete effort from Qatar, especially if it hopes to reach the semifinals as it did in 2021.
Final Score Prediction:'Qatar: 2 | Honduras: 1

Qatar vs Honduras Best Bet
I like the idea of Qatar scoring first at -110 odds as the match's best bet. For starters, despite its latest loss, Qatar struck first against Haiti as Yusuf Abdurisag scored in the 20th minute. On top of that, the Qataris also scored first in both of their previous matchups ag ainst Honduras.
Throw in the fact that Honduras only has two goals in its last five outings while scoring first just once over that stretch, and it's easier to like Qatar's odds of getting off to an early lead.
