The current form of Mexico

Mexico will be hoping for a better outcome after losing to Qatar in the Gold Cup last time out, 0-1. Qatar scored through Hazem Ahmed Shehata (27’). Mexico has scored 12 goals in their last six games for an average of two goals per game.

The current form of Costa Rica

Costa Rica will enter the encounter fresh off a 6-4 Gold Cup victory over Martinique in the match it last played. Kendall Waston (9’), Juan Pablo Vargas (53’), Joel Campbell (58’), Anthony Contreras (68’), and Diego Campos (89’) scored goals for Costa Rica. For Martinique, goals were scored by Patrick Burner (18’, 40’, Own Goal, 78’), Brighton Labeau (74'), and Jonathan Mexique (92’).

Looking at its recent results, Costa Rica has allowed 14 goals in their last six games, as other teams scored against them in five of those contests. Costa Rica really has to tighten up its defense. However, it’s uncertain whether that pattern will continue in this upcoming game.

Head-to-head encounters

Looking at their previous head-to-head matchups dating back to September 6, 2017, it can be seen that Mexico has won three of them and Costa Rica none, with three games being tied. During those matches, 11 goals were scored between them, with “El Tri“ scoring seven and “Los Ticos“ scoring four. This results in an average of 1.83 goals scored per game.

The two had previously played each other in WC Qualifiers – N&C America matchday 10 on January 30, 2022, which ended in a tie: 0-0.

Match analytics

Since 2013, Mexico and Costa Rica have played each other 10 times, and “El Tri“ didn’t lose once, so we anticipate they’ll advance to the Gold Cup semifinals for the ninth consecutive year. Costa Rica will do well to score a goal against a Mexico team that should truly control this game, that much is certain.

We forecast that Mexico will win & total goals over 2.5 at the odds of 1.95 on FezBet.
