Honduras preview: Hoping to get back on track
Winger Romell Quioto sustained an injury nine minutes from time during the 6-0 defeat to Canada in their group opener and is battling to be fit ahead of this game. Should he fail to recover in time, Justin Arboleda is expected to cover the left wing position against El Salvador.
Coach Reinaldo Rueda might consider making changes to his 4-1-4-1 setup after watching his side get torn apart in every department by the Canadians.
Anthony Lozano hasn't scored in his last ten appearances for club and country, lost possession nine times versus Canada, and failed to register a single shot on target, which is worrisome for a striker leading the line for Honduras.
Predicted lineup: Menjivar (GK), Rosales, L. Vega, Montes, Melendez, Flores, Palma, A. Vega, Arboleda, Arriaga & Lozano.
