Having been beaten 0:2 by USA in the semi-final of the Gold Cup 2017, Costa Rica broke its seven-match undefeated streak. After six gameweeks of the 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia qualification played, Keylor Navas and his teammates have earned 11 points with 9-4 goal difference and sit on the second place in the Group standings, being three points behind Mexico. Costa Rica has to fight for each point on the road, having got 1:1 draw against Honduras, 2:0 win over Trinidad & Tobago and 0:2 loss to Mexico.
USA and Costa Rica are two leaders of American football and together with Mexico are considered to be the favourites for promotion to the Mundial. Costa Rica has thrashed USA 4:0 in the first lap resulting in American side having appointed new coaching staff. “The Yanks” still remember that painful defeat and have already revenged for that in the Gold Cup 2017, however, they will focus on gaining only a victory in the forthcoming battle for sure.
Prediction for the match: USA to win.
