France will be big favorites to win this game. Even though they had a tough qualifying campaign, their opposition today has been in the World Cup twice before but has failed to record a win in either.
So for Honduras this year it will be a case of third time lucky, and they will be hoping to set off celebrations in their home country by recording a historic first World Cup victory.
Honduras coach Luis Fernando Suarez is not fazed by the task put to his team, and he is confident his team has the skills and capabilities of winning this year, and even taking down France today.
He said, "Honduras can beat France in the World Cup. But we have to work hard to arrive at the game in form."
Honduras certainly have a bit more confidence around them than they have had at previous World Cups. They qualified in CONCACAF for this year's tournament ahead of Mexico, portraying strength and organization throughout their campaign.
The South American team play a more direct route brand of football and that can cause opposition teams a lot of difficulties if they are not organized and suffer any concentration lapses.
If France are at the top of their game today they should win. But if they have a bad day or if they sit back too much then Honduras have the capabilities of causing a shock today.
