The match will be played on Saturday at Shell Energy Stadium, with kick-off at 10 pm ET for fans in the US.

Honduras enter this match looking to bounce back from their humbling opening loss, which ended a four-game winning streak across all competitions. Head coach Reinaldo Rueda is expected to make several changes to the starting lineup in search of a spark but has no fresh injury concerns or suspensions.

Honduras has historically dominated this fixture in the Gold Cup, winning both previous meetings without conceding a goal.

El Salvador, meanwhile, come into the game unbeaten in their last five matches in all competitions, but their lack of attacking output was evident in the draw with Curaçao, where they managed just one shot on target.

Head coach Hernan Gomez has no new injuries or suspensions and is expected to name an unchanged lineup. El Salvador will be looking for their first Gold Cup win since 2021 and to build on their recent defensive solidity as they aim to upset their rivals.

Honduras will face El Salvador at the Shell Energy Stadium on Saturday in the second group-stage game of their 2025 CONCACAF Gold Cup campaign. Los Catrachos headed into their 12th consecutive Gold Cup intent on bettering their group-stage exit in the previous edition of the continental showpiece.

However, they opened their group in disastrous fashion as they fell to a 6-0 hiding at the hands of Canada, conceding four times in the second half as they recorded their heaviest defeat in over six years.

El Salvador have also been regular participants in the Gold Cup in recent history and managed to pick up a point on the opening day. They played out a goalless draw against Curacao in their game on Tuesday and could have little complaints about the result after failing to register a single shot on target in the opposition box throughout the contest.

Honduras' embarrassing defeat to the Canadians last time out ended their four-game winning streak and they will be desperate to put out a convincing response this weekend. They have had the upper hand in this fixture historically and will fancy their chances of a positive result here.

El Salvador have drawn four of their last five matches and have won just one of their last six. They are considered underdogs heading into the weekend clash and could lose here.

Neither side managed to find the back of the net on matchday one, as La H were pummeled 6-0 by Canada, putting them at the bottom of Group B, a point below El Salvador who are third following a 0-0 draw with Curacao.

The opening game of this tournament could not have gone much worse for Honduras, who suffered their worst Gold Cup defeat this century on matchday one.  

That ended a four-match winning run for Reinaldo Rueda’s men across all competitions, while they have lost their last two opening fixtures at this tournament by a combined margin of 10-0.

This team had not suffered such a lopsided defeat this decade, and have not conceded six or more goals in a game since Brazil clobbered them 7-0 in a friendly played in June 2019.

Honduras have not lost consecutive games in the group phase of this competition since 2019, with their last matchday two victory at the Gold Cup occurring in 2021 (3-2 over Panama).

So far this year they have a 100% record across all competitions when leading at the half, while they have lost all but one match in 2025 when behind after 45 minutes (5-3 win over Bermuda).

Los Catrachos have never lost a Gold Cup fixture versus El Salvador this century, winning those two such meetings against them by a combined margin of 5-0.

In what was perhaps the dullest game of the 2025 Gold Cup group phase so far, El Salvador held firm defensively against their Caribbean opponents on Tuesday.

Hernan Gomez’s side could only manage one effort on target, while registering a mere 39% possession, but collected their second clean sheet of 2025.

They are now unbeaten in their last five matches played across all competitions, while collecting at least a point in their previous three group games at the Gold Cup.

On Saturday they have an opportunity to claim their first victory in this competition since July 2021 when they defeated Trinidad and Tobago 2-0 in a match played in Texas.

El Salvador are unbeaten in six consecutive matches versus CONCACAF teams while avoiding defeat in their previous three contests against Central American opposition.

La Selecta have points in three of their last four meeting versus Honduras, with their previous victory against them on US soil coming in a 2018 friendly played in Houston (1-0).

From their World Cup qualifying win versus Antigua and Barbuda to their defeat against Canada, there were three new faces in the Honduran starting 11 with Christopher Melendez, Luis Vega and Alexy Vega replacing Andy Najar, Julian Martinez and Alexander Lopez.

Deybi Flores can collect his 50th career cap with the national team this weekend, while Dixon Ramirez seeks to make his first senior appearance and Romell Quioto can move into a tie for ninth in all-time goals for La H.

There were also three changes made to El Salvador's starting 11 on Tuesday from the team that began their World Cup qualifier against Suriname as Diego Flores, Harold Osorio and Elvin Alvarado came in for Alexander Larin, Jose Santos Ortiz Asencio and Nathan Ordaz.

El Salvador and Honduras both stumbled in their tournament openers and now find themselves in must-win situations. El Salvador, expected to secure a victory over Curacao—the group’s weakest team on paper—could only manage a disappointing 0-0 draw.

With Canada looming on the final Matchday, El Salvador urgently needs three points to stay in the hunt. Honduras, on the other hand, suffered a crushing 6-0 defeat to Canada, leaving their qualification hopes hanging by a thread and making this next match a critical lifeline.
