Honduras were handed a 4-1 defeat by the USA in the previous game and are aiming to avenge their previous setback.

The attacking midfielder from San Jose, Costa Rica, Bryan Ruiz, is one of the most decisive elements in matches of great importance, since his arrival to the national team, he has appeared in 134 games in the starting lineup, in 27 occasions he has broken the nets and only in 23 moments he has participated with an assist. After 10,196 minutes played and with the morale high for being one of the leading men of the Tico team, Ruiz could be the player who becomes the idol of the fans by scoring again and giving his name on the scoreboard and giving his team three golden points in this final octagonal of the CONCACAF.
Star of Honduran soccer and killer of the Girabola team in Arabia, Brayan Moya, is one of the most decisive players on the field for the Honduras team. Since his arrival to the national team, the native of San Antonio de Oriente has played 702 minutes, in which he has appeared 10 times in the starting lineup, scored 3 times, assisted twice and has only received the yellow card 4 times. After scoring last game and being one of the important men in the national team, Moya could be the one to put the balance in favor of the Honduran team in this start of the second round of the final octagonal of the CONCACAF.
Honduras and Costa Rica have met on a total of 54 occasions (17 wins for the Ticos, 15 wins for Honduras and 20 draws) where the scales are slightly tipped in favor of the team of pure life. Likewise, in terms of goals, it is also the Ticos who have the advantage, having scored 83 goals to Honduras' 68. Their last meeting dates back to the fifth round of the CONCACAF hexagonal final round on the road to the Russia 2018 World Cup, where they split points by a score of 1-1.
For this match, Mario Escobar will be the central referee and will be accompanied by Ismail Elfath and Brayan Lopez as assistants 1 and 2 respectively, and Tristley Bassue will be the fourth official.
Like their counterparts, Costa Rica only managed to earn 2 out of a possible 9 points in the first round of the final qualifying round for the World Cup, with two draws against Panama and Jamaica. However, when they faced Mexico, they suffered a tough defeat at home, which puts them in an uncomfortable position for the resumption of the final octagonal stage. For this FIFA date, the Ticos will have to face Honduras, El Salvador and the United States, so they will have to get three points before it is too late.
Honduras dreams of being present at soccer's greatest tournament, but to do so they will have to have a good World Cup qualification in this FIFA date, since last year they only managed to get 2 out of 9 possible points, after a 1-1 draw with Canada, a scoreless draw with El Salvador and a resounding defeat at home against the Stars and Stripes. For this FIFA date, they will have to face Costa Rica, Mexico and Jamaica, so it will be important to get three points before it is too late.
The road to Qatar 2022 resumes in CONCACAF, after the FIFA date in September, the teams will have to gather their best players to continue with the journey of the final octagonal and seek a ticket to the greatest soccer fair: The World Cup in Qatar 2022. Both teams are in need of points as they are not currently in a beneficial position to continue thinking about the World Cup dream, so winning, drawing or losing could mean a huge difference between being out of the goal or not.
The Honduras vs Costa Rica match will be played at the Metropolitano Stadium, in San Pedro Sula, Honduras. The kick-off is scheduled at 20:00 pm ET.
