FIFA World Cup qualification (CONCACAF) -- USA vs Costa Rica

Their impending WC Qualifiers - N & C America tie sees United States facing opposition in the form of Costa Rica on Wednesday.

 

USA

Prior to the trip to Panama City, the USA had gleaned eight points from their opening four Qualifying fixtures. And they have won 14 of their last 15 home games across all tournaments - with the one exception being a 1-1 draw with Canada last month. On Sunday, USA were given a humbling 1-0 loss away from home against Panama.

 

 

 

 

Costa Rica's bid for a fifth World Cup Finals appearance in six editions got off to a morale-depleting start with only three points and one goal from their first four fixtures. There were only three goals scored in their last seven matches in all competitions and their last three games away from home have ended 0-0. In their previous game, Costa Rica beat El Salvador 2-1.

 

 

Two teams have already faced each other once this year, and just like in four of the last five head-to-head matches between them, the USA won the match. And given their recent states, expect the home team will go on their journey to win.
