CONCACAF Nations League——Costa Rica VS Panama

 

Match Analysis

Costa Rica enters this matchup on an impressive run, remaining unbeaten in their last five games with a robust defensive record, allowing just two goals. Their offensive output has also been solid, averaging nearly two goals per game. Panama, on the other hand, has been inconsistent defensively, conceding 11 goals across their last five matches, despite some competitive scoring. With Costa Rica’s defensive strength and Panama’s vulnerability at the back, Costa Rica seems poised to leverage their form here.
