Two teams from the CONCACAF Big Eight risk being left out of the playoffs. Panama drew with a score of 3:3 in the game with Qatar in the first round, having changed the situation in the group. Now the national team should clearly be satisfied with a draw in the game with Honduras. The opponents, on the contrary, should deal with a motivated Qatar in the case of a peaceful outcome. Honduras has not shown what it can do by having a major victory in the game with Grenada. The team had too many mistakes in defence. The outsider had 2-3 clear chances to score. A skilled opponent should not forgive Honduras for this. Panama attacked the opponents unexpectedly well, although everyone expected their usual defensive style. The opponents should not take any risks in the second round. A draw should leave both teams masters of their position. Panama will have the opportunity to make it to the playoffs if Grenada loses, and Honduras should have enough of a draw in the game with Qatar in the last round. Anyway, they risk losing a lot, so the opponents should try to minimize the risk.
