World champions Argentina continue their preparations for this summer’s World Cup as they look to extend an impressive run of results under Lionel Scaloni.
Confidence is also high after a commanding qualification campaign in which Argentina comfortably finished top of the South American standings.
La Albiceleste have built strong momentum ahead of the tournament, winning each of their last five friendly matches.
Despite the low quality of the teams they have faced, they have had comfortable victories against the likes of Zambia, Angola and Puerto Rico, and managed to keep four clean sheets in their last five.
In a bid to defend their title as world champions, Scaloni will need to get his team prepared, as pressure will be on them to get over the line once again.
Argentina will kick off their World Cup campaign with a Group J clash against Algeria.
For Honduras, this fixture represents a valuable opportunity to test themselves against the world champions after a disappointing World Cup qualifying campaign.
La Bicolour narrowly missed out on reaching the tournament, with a heartbreaking finish to their qualifiers costing them a place in the intercontinental playoffs.
The setback prompted change in the dugout, with Jose Francisco Molina taking charge as Honduras begin a new chapter.
The Central Americans have not had a consistent run of form in their last 10 games across all competitions; they have managed only three victories in their last 10 games and racked up more draws (5), with three losses.
A win for them against La Albiceleste will come as an upset, having failed to register a victory against the world champions in their last three meetings.
History points firmly in Argentina's favour, and they are expected to maintain that dominance as they continue their preparations for the summer tournament.

Whispers predicts: Argentina 3-0 Honduras
Argentina head into this clash in good form, having been unbeaten in their last five games and with a massive quality difference in their squad.
Lionel Scaloni’s team have won all three previous meetings against Honduras without conceding a single goal, and their recent defensive record suggests they will keep another clean sheet.
Meanwhile, Honduras' defensive struggles mean they will find it incredibly difficult to keep the Argentinian forwards quiet for the entire match.
The bookmakers have priced the home side as overwhelming favourites to win this match at 1/6 (1.17) odds, which reflects their status as world champions.
A draw is currently valued at 7/1 (8.00), whilst a historic away victory for Honduras is considered a major long shot at 14/1 (15.00) odds.
The option for over 2.5 goals is priced at 4/9 (1.44), which represents a highly probable outcome given the attacking record of the Albiceleste.
Both teams to score (no) is valued at 8/15 (1.53), which is appealing considering Argentina have not conceded a goal in four of their last five friendly games.
Home team total goals (over 2.5) is also an option to consider following Argentina’s scoring record, and it is given at 3/4 (1.75).
> Home to win at 1/6 (1.17) | Likelihood: Possible
> Over 2.5 goals at 4/9 (1.44) | Likelihood: Possible
> Both teams to score (No) at 8/15 (1.53) | Likelihood: Probable
> Home team total goals (over 2.5) at 3/4 (1.75) | Likelihood: Possible
