Costa Rica takes on the visitors Honduras at “Estadio Nacional” in the round nine of the Fifth Round of the North, Central America and Caribbean’s Preliminary Competition for the 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia. The game will be played in San Jose on Saturday, October 7th.
Costa Rica’s football A-team is a tough, strong side which doesn’t like and doesn’t know how to lose. Costa Ricans got five triumphs, four draws and single defeat in 10 recent clashes meaning that they have to pick up two points in last two battles in order to qualify to the Mundial. Currently Costa Rica is sitting on the second position in the Group with 15 points earned and 12-5 goal difference and slightly prepares to a journey to Russia. Costa Ricans conducted four encounters at the home ground within the qualification campaign resulting in eight points gained, seven goals for and two goals against, having showed rock-solid defense and aggressive offense.

In their turn, Hondurans is still hoping to promote to the World Cup, having got four points in two September clashes after 2:1 victory over Trinidad & Tobago and 1:1 draw against USA. Those results allow the team to share the fourth-fifth places in the Group standings with USA, having picked up nine points with 9-16 goal difference and pray at least for the Promotion Play Offs to the Mundial final stage. The Hondurans took four points with four goals for and 12 goals against in four away encounters.
Costa Rica and Honduras have played nine head-to-heads since the 19th of June 2011 and all of them ended with under scored goals. I believe that those streak will reach 10 games after the Saturday fight.
Prediction for the match: Under 2.5 scored goals.
