📊 Key Stats

• Costa Rica's last 5 read 2 wins, 1 draw, 2 defeats.

• USA shortened from 1.27 to 1.33 late, while Costa Rica closed back at 8.40.

USA arrive with the stronger profile at both ends of the pitch. Five straight wins and a return of 3.6 goals per game explain why they sit so short in the outright price. Just as important, they have conceded only 0.2 goals per game across that spell, giving them control of matches as well as firepower.

Costa Rica still carry enough threat to make this competitive. Their recent average of 1.8 goals per game is solid, but the broader run is less convincing and the market has kept them as clear outsiders. That is the central angle for this preview: Costa Rica need a tight, low-tempo contest, while USA can back their usual scoring rate. The betting tips point to the same conclusion.

🔮 Prediction

USA's recent edge in scoring, defending and form makes USA to win - Expected score: 0-2.
