Pre-game odds and win probability: Honduras are up against it
- HOME: 1/4 (1.25) – 80.0%

- AWAY: 15/2 (8.50) – 11.8%
*Odds from Ladbrokes, subject to change
Bajen have been handed short odds of 1.25 and a commanding 80.0% win probability, which is hardly surprising given their superior campaign so far.
Kim Hellberg’s men are mounting a serious title challenge and currently sit second in the standings, having picked up 27 points from eight wins, three draws and two defeats – just three points adrift of league leaders Mjallby. That consistent run reinforces their status as strong favourites here, especially against opponents who have endured a difficult start to the season.
Halmstad have suffered seven defeats from their 12 league matches, with only 13 points to their name – two clear of the relegation zone. Their struggles on the road have contributed to a meagre 11.8% chance of an upset.
