UAE vs Honduras Prediction, H2H Stats & Statistical Bets 13 November 2026
🔊 The UAE and Honduras will meet in Abu Dhabi as part of the November series of friendlies. For the hosts, it is an opportunity to test themselves under new head coach Zlatko Dalić, who took charge of the team in August. Honduras are also going through a period of rebuilding: Spaniard José Francisco Molina is continuing to get to know the squad and look for the best combinations. Recent results favour the UAE: they have won three of their previous five matches, while Honduras have recorded just one win over the same period.
First meeting with no established history
📊 The teams have no significant recent head-to-head history to draw on when assessing the upcoming match. The focus should therefore be on current form and changes to the squads. The teams are close in the FIFA rankings: the UAE are 65th and Honduras are 67th. This makes the UAE’s home advantage and their more convincing results in recent months particularly important.
UAE: a strong run ahead of the November training camp
In their last five matches, the UAE have recorded three wins, one draw and one defeat. They beat Yemen (4-0) and Bahrain (3-0), drew with Qatar (1-1) and defeated Oman (1-0). Their only loss came against Saudi Arabia (0:2). Over this period, the UAE scored nine goals and conceded just three, keeping clean sheets in three matches.
For Dalić, the November training camp is an important stage in getting to know the team ahead of the next official tournaments. The squad includes experienced players and young footballers who could compete for a place in the starting XI. The coaching staff have had the opportunity to hold a full training camp in Abu Dhabi and Al Ain, so the hosts will have no serious problems adapting to the match conditions.
Match Results: United Arab Emirates (UAE)
Honduras: poor run of form and several key absentees
Honduras have won only one of their last five matches. They beat Jamaica (1-0) and then drew with them (1-1), but lost to Martinique (1-2), Suriname (2-3) and Argentina (0-2). Honduras scored five goals and conceded eight in those five matches. The defeat to Martinique was particularly disappointing: Honduras failed to hold on to their lead and lost to opponents who sit considerably lower in the international rankings.
José Francisco Molina has named a 26-man squad that includes players from European leagues. Denil Maldonado and Julián Martínez stand out in defence, Deybi Flores and Luis Palma in midfield, and Rigoberto Rivas and Dereck Moncada up front. The trip to the Middle East will be a serious test for Honduras: besides the UAE, they will also face Kuwait.

Latest news
United Arab Emirates (UAE)
📋 The UAE federation have announced a 26-player squad for a training camp at home and two friendlies. So far, there have been no confirmed reports of serious injuries to key national team players.
Honduras
❌ Midfielders Kervin Arriaga, who asked not to be called up for the November friendlies, and Jorge Álvarez are absent from the squad. Cristopher Meléndez and Clever Portillo have not been included either. Luis Vega is missing in defence, while goalkeeper Luis López is recovering from a serious injury. According to the pre-match report, Dereck Moncada has fitness issues and remains doubtful.
🟨 Yellow cards prediction
Honduras will probably have to defend more often if the UAE manage to take the initiative. In those circumstances, tactical fouls in midfield and attempts to stop the hosts’ quick attacks become more likely. However, the friendly nature of the match may limit the number of hard challenges. A cautious choice would be Total Yellow Cards - Under 4.5.
⚽ Goals prediction
The UAE have scored nine goals in their last five matches, while Honduras have conceded eight. The UAE have been much more solid defensively, keeping clean sheets in three matches over that stretch. The hosts are likely to create more clear-cut chances, but Honduras can also be expected to produce at least a few attacks that lead to goals. A more cautious option is Total Goals - Over 2. Odds: 1.59*.
🚩 Corners prediction
The United Arab Emirates have gained an advantage more than once in recent matches through attacks down the flanks and pressure on the opposition’s penalty area. Honduras will have to focus heavily on defending when out of possession, so the hosts may have more opportunities to take corners. The visitors can also respond with counter-attacks and win several set pieces. Total Corners - Over 7.5 is worth considering.
*Odds are indicative and may vary depending on the bookmaker.
⭐ Editor’s Prediction
The UAE look the stronger side thanks to their more consistent form, home advantage and lack of squad problems. Honduras are going through a difficult spell, while the absence of several key players affects multiple areas of the team. Zlatko Dalić has had the opportunity to prepare his side for the match in familiar surroundings and assess his first-choice line-up. Given these circumstances, the hosts have a better chance of winning. Final pick: UAE to win. Correct score prediction: 2-1.
