USA vs Costa Rica Prediction & Betting Tips - International Friendlies
by Nella Wagah | in Football Predictions
USA are riding high after their triumph over Mexico in the CONCACAF Nations League final and even before the celebration ends from that, they are set to take on Costa Rica in a friendly match. There’s really little time to relax, as the teams prepare for the CONCACAF Gold Cup, which comes in July. USA showed a great fighting spirit to twice come from down and beat Mexico 3-2 after drawing 2-2 in normal time and against Costa Rica, they will have a final moment to take stock of the personnel before going to the Gold Cup. The match will be played in Utah and hosts USA will start as favorites, not just because they host but also having lost just once in their last 11 matches. They will want to improve on their defensive aspects though, having managed just one clean sheet in their last five matches. Seven of their last eight matches have seen over 2.5 goals scored with USA scoring two or more in six but conceding twice in just two. They’ve failed to score completely in one of their last 12 matches.
Costa Rica head to this game on the back of a poor finish to the Nations League but they remain a quality side, having only lost on post match penalties in the last two matches. They pushed Mexico to extra time and penalties in the Nations League semis after a 0-0 draw then also lost on penalties against Honduras in the third place playoff game. They go to this game winless in their last 10 matches and one of their losses there was inflicted by USA – a 1-0 defeat in February 2020. The 2-1 win over Curacao in the Nations League is Costa Rica’s only win in 16 matches. While they are having a poor run, and with few clean sheets, Costa Rica haven’t been conceding heavily. In their last 10 games, they have conceded more than a goal in just two games, while they only have two clean sheets to show. They’ve however failed to score completely in six.
