MANAGUA, Nicaragua (Interstat) — Undefeated Honduras visits struggling Nicaragua on Thursday in a CONCACAF World Cup qualifier, looking to continue its dominant run in the region.

The match, set for Nov. 13, 2025, pits a Honduran side in top form against a Nicaraguan team desperate for a positive result at home. Honduras sits comfortably in the qualifying table with a record of 4-0-1 in the competition, while Nicaragua has found the going tougher at 2-3-1.

Honduras is riding high after a decisive 3-0 victory over Haiti in its last outing. Its defense has been formidable, conceding only one goal in its five qualifiers. The attack is equally potent, having scored six goals in a single match against Bermuda last year.

Nicaragua, conversely, is reeling from a 4-1 defeat to Costa Rica. That loss was part of a difficult stretch where it was also shut out 3-0 by Haiti. The team’s form has been inconsistent, struggling against regional powerhouses while securing wins against lower-ranked opponents like Belize and Montserrat.

Recent history favors the visitors heavily. The two sides last met in September, with Honduras securing a 2-0 victory on its home turf.

Despite the lopsided records, Interstat’s game simulator projects a tightly contested 1-1 draw. Nicaragua will need a resilient defensive performance to make that prediction a reality and salvage a crucial point.

Following this contest, Honduras will travel to face Costa Rica on Nov. 18, while Nicaragua is set to visit Haiti the same day.
