Either side could still advance today as Honduras and Switzerland meet for the final match of Group E in the opening round of World Cup action.

Honduras have not truly impressed so far. Although they looked like they could earn a win over Ecuador, they failed to complete the task allowing the South American Nation to fight back and claim victory.

Switzerland are very hopeful as they showed signs of life against France despite the one sided score that was not a complete showing of what the match was about.

The Swiss know that as little as a draw can get them through if France crushes Ecuador, but they should go for the win none the less to guarantee they move on to the round of 16.

Honduras will see Wilson Palacios return to the first team as Switzerland are likely to be without the services of strong young defender Steve Von Bergen.

Honduras Starting XI: Valladares: Beckless, Bernardez, Figueroa, Garcia; Garcia, Palacios, Garrido, Espinoza; Bengston, Costly.

Switzerland Starting XI: Benaglio: Lichtsteiner, Djourou, Senderos, Rodriguez; Inler, Dzemaili; Mehmedi, Xhaka, Shaqiri; Drmic.
