\nOdds: Honduras +750 \/ Switzerland -250 \/ Draw +360<\/strong>
\n [dfads params=’groups=63740&limit=1&return_javascript=0′]<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\nHonduras will also need a little help from Ecuador who needs to lose to France if Los Catrachos is to make it out of Group E action by the end of the day.<\/p>\n
Switzerland, meanwhile, are tied with Ecuador for the runner-up position with three points but they’re down on goal differential, so they will need a win to keep their hopes alive. They could advance however with a draw if France beats Ecuador.<\/p>\n
Honduras will rely on their string of MLS stars that helped them record them a win at the CONCACAF, which includes Costly, a towering forward who is his country\u2019s fourth all-time leading scorer. He has 32 goals for Honduras, and will need a bunch more if Coach Luis Fernando Su\u00e1rez\u2019s side is to advance.
\n[ad-3678122]
\nDespite the long odds, Honduras will give everything they have left against the Swiss, who met in their final group-stage match of the 2010 World Cup in South Africa. <\/p>\nBoth teams played to a scoreless draw that resulted in their elimination in that one, as defense was key. <\/p>\n
Defense will be critical again in Wednesday\u2019s match and the Swiss will be at a slight disadvantage as they will be without defender Steve von Bergen, who came off in the seventh minute of the side\u2019s 5-2 loss to France after taking a kick to the face. The high kick resulted in a broken bone in von Bergen\u2019s face.<\/p>\n
That means the Swiss will lean heavily on midfielder, Granit Xhaka who is one of Switzerland\u2019s most promising young players.<\/p>\n
The 21-year-old scores his first World Cup goal against France and was one of the game\u2019s most dangerous players.<\/p>\n
Prediction – Switzerland-<\/h3>\n
Switzerland has scored 10 of their last 12 World Cup goals during second half, so a slow defensive start could work to its advantage, especially against a Honduras side that has had its share of difficulties finding the back of the net. <\/p>\n
