Gambia U20 and Honduras U20 battle for three points at the Estadio Malvinas in Group F of the 2023 FIFA U-20 World Cup on Monday (May 22).
The Gambians are making their second appearance at the FIFA U-20 World Cup and first since 2007. The Young Scorpions were losing finalists to Sengal at the 2023 U-20 Africa Cup of Nations to book their spot in Argentina.
Honduras, meanwhile, are making their ninth appearance at the U-20 World Cup. They qualified for the tournament by virtue of their semifinal elimination at the 2022 CONCACAF Under-20 Championship.
Honduras fell to a 1-0 defeat against Uruguay in a friendly a fortnight ago. Luciano Rodriguez' 15th-minute strike proved to be the difference between the two teams. France and Korea Republic complete the quartet of teams in Group F, apart from Gambia and Honduras.
Gambia U20 vs Honduras U20 Head-to-Head and Key Numbers
- This will be the first meeting between the two sides.
- Honduras failed to make it out of the group stage in their last eight U-20 World Cup appearances.
- Gambia's last six games have seen at least one team fail to score, with five games producing less than three goals.
- Honduras have received a red card in their last two games.
- Gambia's defeat to Senegal in the final of the 2023 U-20 Africa Cup of Nations ended their six-game winning run.
Gambia U20 vs Honduras U20 Prediction
Gambia and Honduras are the outsiders in the group, with France and Korea expected to secure the top two spots. Considering the same, it's imperative for both sides to try and get a win if they're to have hopes of qualifying for the knockouts.
Honduras are yet to progress from the group stage, despite being regulars at the tournament. Gambia, meanwhile, made it out of the group in their sole appearace at the U-20 World Cup in 2007 and will look to at least match that.
Neither side is famed for their attacking prowess, so the game is likely to be a compact affair. Although either side could nick a win, the spoils could be shared in a goalless stalemate.
