This is a very intriguing battle in the World Cup Qualification, CONCACAF region. Three out of six teams qualify directly for the tournament and at the moment, both rivals are positioned well. Mexico lead the group with 14 points after six matches, but the Ticos are second with 11 points, and the Americans are in the third place, three points further back. The Stars and Stripes started the campaign in disastrous fashion, losing their first two fixtures, including the 4-0 thrashing at the hands of Costa Rica. That proved to be the final straw as Jurgen Klinsmann was fired as coach and the team is now playing much better under the veteran specialist Bruce Arena, as we show in our USA vs Costa Rica preview.

The Americans won the Gold Cup, beating the Ticos 2-0 in the semifinals on their way to glory. They also achieved decent results in World Cup Qualification, CONCACAF, with impressive home wins over Honduras (6-0) and Trinidad and Tobago (2-0) that were anticipated on football prediction sites. They are very confident and ready to take another sweet revenge for the disastrous result in November. That is very important for our USA vs Costa Rica predictions.

The visitors were less impressive lately, with just one win in the last four qualification games. They drew 0-0 with Panama at home, upsetting football betting odds, and only managed to marginally beat Trinidad and Tobago 2-1.

The hosts are clear favourites in this fixture and they are very highly motivated after the Gold Cup win. We should also take into account that they haven't lost at home to the Ticos in an official match since 1985. The odds are extremely good on 10Bet, as they stand at 1.70, and those, naturally, are our USA vs Costa Rica betting tips.
