Squad analysis:
Chile: Chile qualified for world cup after 12 years and are looking forward to makeup for lost time. It is wonderful to watch Chileans in play as their young squad relentlessly attack without any fear. Alexis Sanchez is a dangerous player and is in good form. Humberto Suazo can score goals even against strongest teams.
Chile qualified in second position in tough South American qualifying group ahead of Argentina and Paraguay.
Honduras: They qualified for FIFA World cup after 28 years under fortunate circumstances at the expense of Costa Rica. David Suazo and Wilson Palacios are facing fitness problems. Without them, Chile may enjoy a one sided game.
Big hope: Honduras won in 2 games in their last 3 encounters against Chile – last win is 18 months back.
Chile is strong favourite to win this game.
