Costa Rica Preview – Can Costa Rica see off rivals?
The joint-leaders of Group C in the Gold Cup, Costa Rica and Jamaica will face each other at the Exploria Stadium on Tuesday night with both nations keen to finish in top spot and therefore earn a more favourable tie in the quarter-finals.
Costa Rica have put an end to their previous miserable stretch of results which saw them endure a sequence of 11 matches without a win, by recording back-to-back wins in Group C against Guadeloupe 3-1 and Suriname 2-1.
However, Costa Rica now face their toughest test yet in the group stage in the shape of Jamaica who have also picked up two wins from their two matches to date in the tournament, so this could be a tight affair.
Jamaica Preview – Can Jamaica win three on trot?
Back-to-back wins in Group C against Suriname 2-0 and a 2-1 victory over Guadeloupe have also placed Jamaica at the top of the group alongside Costa Rica, having picked up the maximum six points from their opening two games.
There doesn’t appear to be too much separating Costa Rica from Jamaica at first glance but the Jamaicans have lost just three of their last 14 matches in all competitions but also includes a total of nine wins so they arguably look in better shape than Costa Rica.
In addition, seven of these nine wins have also been to nil and this could set Jamaica up to get something out of this upcoming clash against Costa Rica.
