CONCACAF Gold Cup
Costa Rica has recorded some convincing victories in its last matches. Just a few days ago, they defeated Trinidad and Tobago 2-1 in the World Cup qualifiers. Now they are the favorite to win their first match of the Gold Cup tournament. In the last edition of the tournament, they were eliminated in the quarterfinals. They face a team at the start against whom they have never lost, although they have not played many matches against each other so far. In six meetings, Costa Rica has five wins and one draw.
There is not much to say about Suriname, which will play in this tournament for only the fourth time. The last time was in 2021 when they were eliminated in the group stage. Against other teams of similar rank, they perform well, but when faced with more serious obstacles, they encounter more difficulties and usually lose.
Prediction: Costa Rica to winCosta Rica is the stronger team, led by goalkeeper Keylor Navas. Suriname does not have any standout familiar names, and generally, the team has nothing to boast about on the international stage and in this tournament, unlike Costa Rica.
