USA vs Honduras: Preview, Team News, Prediction for International Friendly

Wait, is this right?

Jurgen Klinsmann is still looking for his first win as manager of the United States men's national team?

Actually, yes, he is. The United States is set to host Honduras in an international friendly Saturday at 6 p.m. eastern in Miami, and Klinsmann will be looking for his first victory with the team.

Hard to believe, right? But in three matches since Klinsmann replaced Bob Bradley in late July, the US has lost twice and drawn once.

Regardless, Saturday should provide Klinsmann a perfect opportunity to break his duck. The US and Honduras have played 17 times since 1965, and the US holds an 11-3-3 advantage in the series.

US roster

22 players have been called into training camp for the match. Here is the list.

Goalkeepers: Bill Hamid (D.C.United), Tim Howard (Everton), Nick Rimando (Real Salt Lake)

Defenders: Carlos Bocanegra (Rangers), Timmy Chandler (Nürnberg), Steve Cherundolo (Hannover 96), Oguchi Onyewu (Sporting Lisbon), Michael Orozco Fiscal (San Luis), Tim Ream (New York Red Bulls), Jonathan Spector (Birmingham City)

Midfielders: Kyle Beckerman (Real Salt Lake), Michael Bradley (Chievo Verona), Clint Dempsey (Fulham), Maurice Edu (Rangers), Jeff Larentowicz (Colorado Rapids), Brek Shea (FC Dallas), Danny Williams (Hoffenheim)

Forwards: Juan Agudelo (New York Red Bulls), Jozy Altidore (AZ Alkmaar), DaMarcus Beasley (Puebla), Teal Bunbury (Sporting Kansas City), Edson Buddle (FC Ingolstadt).

Team news

Buddle replaced Landon Donovan in the US roster early this week after Donovan withdrew because of injury.

Jonathan Spector sat out Tuesday's training session with a knee injury but was expected to train Wednesday. Jozy Altidore sat out the morning session after being stepped on but returned for the afternoon session.

Juan Agudelo, Buddle and Tim Ream were scheduled to arrive in camp Wednesday.

Here's a photo gallery of Tuesday's session.

Prediction

Klinsmann has experimented with his squad in each of his first three matches in charge. That probably won't change Saturday since nothing is on the line for either team.

The difference on Saturday should be that the US clearly has a better squad than Honduras. Look for a somewhat experimental side to eke out a victory in Miami with Honduras staying in the match until the end.

2-1 USA
