Mexico will face their toughest road challenge in the fourth round of CONCACAF World Cup qualifying on Tuesday. A hostile trip to San Pedro Sula awaits El Tri.
Fortunately, only a tough atmosphere -- not a tough opponent -- will be there to receive them.
Honduras has struggled mightily since World Cup 2014. A poor showing at the 2015 Gold Cup -- being eliminated by Haiti in the group stage -- was followed by a 1-0 loss to Canada in the opening match of World Cup qualifying. A second defeat will put Honduras’ World Cup dreams in serious jeopardy only two matches into the campaign.
