Back Honduras @ 1.910/11 to beat Haiti

On the plains of Kansas, Tobias Gourlay believes the wind is blowing firmly in one direction

Rosenborg outclassed Odd 3-0 in the Tippeligaen last night, but the result barely chips at the gloss on Kevin's week.

Strapping profits for him but, just as he unfolds the sun lounger and reaches into the freezer for a Parrot Bay, the rain arrives. No justice at all.

We begin in Kansas City. Honduras are no wizards when it comes to football, but they probably do have what it takes to beat Haiti tonight and give themselves an excellent chance of making the Concacaf Gold Cup quarter-finals.

Joint bottom of Group A with their opponents, the Hondurans are actually on a winless streak of five but - stay with us - previous opposition have all been much stronger than tonight's.

Paraguay (56), Brazil (6), Mexico (40), USA (34) and even Panama (62) are all ranked by Fifa as notably better than Haiti (79).

In total, Honduras (80) have scored in 8/10 matches this year. Only Brazil and a currently rather boring Mexico side have stopped them.

Haiti have had better recent results (W3-D5-L2 since October last year), but their opponents have been much weaker. Six of the opponents had either three-figure rankings or were not ranked at all. Against the other four, the record is W0-D2-L2.

We think Honduras have the firepower to knock them out of the Gold Cup tonight.
