Will the USA win their 3rd game in a row against Costa Rica?


The United States of America won 2-0 and 1-0 against the national team of Costa Rica in 2019 and 2020. They also celebrated their 8th home win in a row at the beginning of June. Costa Rica has been without a win for 5 guest games. So we assume that the USA will win this game. The analyzes have also shown that more than 2.5 goals are very likely to be scored.

Tip and forecast

As mentioned in the introduction, we forecast a home win for the USA. The goal balance for both teams suggests that over 2.5 goals will be scored. Both teams will probably come to a conclusion, but this prediction should be treated with caution, because the record of the direct duels does not suggest it. From experience we know from reports that anything is possible in a test match.
