Argentina vs Honduras Live Stream & Predictions – La Albiceleste to Win with BTTS
In the upcoming international friendly between Argentina and Honduras, Argentina, even without Lionel Messi, are tipped to secure a convincing win owing to their superior squad and excellent form—winning their last five games and all previous encounters vs Honduras by a 7-1 goal margin. However, Honduras, under new leadership with coach Jose Francisco Molina, have shown signs of improvement and managed a 2-2 draw against Peru in his debut. Expect Argentina's class to show, but Honduras could score a consolation goal.

Argentina Dominating H2H
Argentina have won all three head to head matches against Honduras so far with a total goal difference 7-1.
First out of Two Test Games for La Albiceleste
Argentina had an impressive run in the World Cup 2026 qualifiers, topping the South American table with 38 points from 18 matches (12 wins, two draws, four defeats) and 31-10 goal difference.
They started 2026 with a 2-1 victory against Mauritania in a friendly match, Enzo Fernandez and Nicolas Paz finding the net in the first half. The opposition had a lot of space here, registering 11 shots total.
In their most recent clash in early April, La Albiceleste crushed Zambia 5-0 in another friendly. This time, they did a much better job defensively, allowing just one shot on target.
Honduras Under New Leadership
Honduras needed to beat Costa Rica in the final round of WC 2026 qualifiers to earn a spot in the final tournament, but that clash ended in a goalless draw in late November, leaving them second in Group C behind Haiti.
They appointed Jose Francisco Molina as the new national coach in late February.
His debut was in late March, a friendly match against Peru on a neutral venue in Spain. Honduras were behind twice but ultimately got away with a deserved 2-2 draw. They had 2.11-0.88 xG and 12-8 shots.
Team News & Predicted Lineups
Argentina (4-3-3) Geronimo Rulli; Nahuel Molina, Lisandro Martinez, Nicolas Otamendi, Nicolas Tagliafico; Rodrigo De Paul, Alexis Mac Allister, Enzo Fernandez; Julian Alvarez, Lautaro Martinez, Giovanni Simeone
The world champions have to cope without their iconic captain Lionel Messi, who is sidelined due to ongoing muscle fatigue. Additionally, goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez is nursing a finger injury, forcing a selection dilemma between Geronimo Rulli and Juan Musso.

Verdict
Honduras looked solid in Jose Francisco Molina’s debut as the new national coach against Peru (2-2), so I like their chances of scoring a consolation goal against the superior side Argentina.
