COSTA RICA v TRINIDAD & TOBAGO
Tuesday 13th June 2017 – Kickoff: 1700hrs
Football – CONCACAF – World Cup Qualifier Betting Tips
Costa Rica can get a jump on rivals USA on Tuesday evening when they play host to bottom nation Trinidad & Tobago, and a win tonight would see them move within three points of group leaders, Mexico.
Costa Rica were frustrated by Panama in their recent 0-0 stalemate, but the hosts still remain unbeaten on home turf as they’d previously gained a convincing 4-0 home win over USA. They head into this match having not won for three group matches, but they’ll be confident of posting a win here against the group wooden-spooners.
In addition, Costa Rica have won 10 of their last 11 home matches in World Cup qualifiers, as well as winning the last five encounters with Trinidad & Tobago. Midfielder Bolanos and forward Campbell are their leading goalscorers to date in this campaign.
Visitors Trindad & Tobago face a mountain to climb if they’re to get anything against Costa Rica, who they’ve been on the losing side against in the last five meetings between these two sides ahead of tonight’s encounter at the Estadio Nacional de Costa Rica in San Jose.
Trinidad & Tobago sit bottom of the CONCACAF qualifying group with just three points to their name, thanks to a narrow 1-0 win over Panama at home, but there’s been very little else to cheer about for the caribbean visitors as they’ve lost their other four group matches.
Away from home, T&T possess a poor record of 0-0-2 1/5 following losses at Honduras 3-1 and USA 2-0, and indeed, they’ve registered just three away wins from their last 15 in World Cup qualifiers, so they’re likely to have their backs to the wall for the majority of this match.
Pick; Costa Rica HT/FT @ 1.75 Coral
