Last Wednesday in a game that was broadcast on ESPN, Chile was supposed to beat Honduras in World Cup soccer betting.

Chile plays in a group that contains Spain but they have the capability to progress out of Group H since they are capable of routing Honduras and Switzerland in World Cup odds at the sportsbooks.

Chile was posted as a one-goal fave by World Cup wagering odds on Wednesday vs Honduras with a total of 2.5 under. The 3-way line has Chile at -170, Honduras at +480 and the draw at +260. This will be the eighth World Cup appearance for Chile. This squad is coached by Marcelo Bielsa and he has directed the squad to their 1st World Cup in 12 years. He’ll have his squad well prepared and ready to attack from the second the game commences. Chile’s leading scorer in qualifying was Humberto Suazo who had 10 goals in 18 matches. Matias Fernandez and Alexis Sanchez are various other gifted competitors on the squad. Chile is going below the radar with lots of individuals but they have some skill and might even give Spain a run for the leading spot in Group H.

Honduras is making just their 2nd appearance in the World Cup and it looks to be a short one. Their only hope of receiving a point seems to be the game with Switzerland given that they don’t match up well with Chile or Spain. It seems not likely they can meet the scoring strength of Chile or Spain. For Honduras to have any chance they will need David Suazo to play quite well. Carlos Pavon was the leading scorer in qualifying as he had seven goals. Honduras is nicely trained by Reinaldo Rueda but it does not look like they have the talent to compete with either Spain or Chile. Suazo and Pavon are excellent competitors and Wilson Palacios is a excellent midfielder and Georgie Welcome can score the occasional goal but overall, Honduras just does not have the depth of plenty of other squads in the World Cup.

Winning this game in World Cup odds shouldn’t have been too challenging for Chile as long as they don’t overlook Honduras. Since this is their 1st game in Group H, that shouldn’t have been a problem.

Chile’s Jean Beausejour landed the team’s sole point when they defeated Honduras 1-0 in Wednesday’s game. It was the 1st World Cup win for Chile since they hosted the tournament in 1962. The winning point came in the 34th minute of the competition.

Despite their win, Chile’s coach Marcelo Bielsa was unsatisfied. He really believed that the squad might have made more goals versus Honduras. The squad came close to doubling its lead with another goal many times during the game, in fact. Nonetheless Honduras, to their credit, had a fairly impressive goalkeeper in Noel Valladares who made more than one superb save. A free kick in first-half injury time by midfielder Ramon Nunez was really Honduras’ only actual chance. That was tipped over the net by Chile goaltender Claudio Bravo.
