Honduras take on Grenada in CONCACAF Gold Cup action at BBVA Stadium in Houston on Tuesday. The Group D fixture will wrap up proceedings for the first matchday of the group stage.
Honduras are coming off a third-place finish in the CONCACAF Nations League and played out a goalless draw with Mexico in a friendly fixture last month. Grenada played four games in 2021, winning one and losing three.
All four were World Cup qualifiers and they failed to advance into the final round. They'll be hoping for some redemption in this competition.
