Costa Rica, the top 8 team in the last US Cup, unfortunately eliminated after losing to Canada! After the World Cup, Costa Rica began to change between old and new, but recently Costa Rica has not been in good form, having won three consecutive defeats! Even against Panama, an old rival who is lower in the ranking, home and away are double-beaten by him.
In the last two friendly matches, against Guatemala, which is ranked outside the world 100, Costa can lose, which is a bit of a big loss! Their strength has declined so badly that it has reached the point where everyone knows it! The team's style this year is mainly defensive, basically losing the ability to attack! The lineup of 541 is matched, and such a result is not surprising to everyone!
Panama, ranked 58th in the world, has also recently suffered two consecutive defeats, and Panama has performed well in the semifinals, losing to Canada in the semifinals and losing to Mexico, which has fallen in third place. But they can get to this position, which is much stronger than last year! It's not hard to see from the last 10 games that they have a high defensive intensity and also held their bottoms against the Pampas Eagles in a friendly game they played in March! Also facing Guatemala, at least Panama is undefeated, which is much stronger in attack than Costa Rica, so Panama is still going uphill in terms of recent form!
Follow-up to pick up Panama, which has never appeared in the nearly 10 meetings between the two teams, such low support for Costa Rica, it seems that the director is not optimistic about Costa Rica's play today! However, judging from the results of the last 10 games of the two teams, 9 of them have played a small pattern, it seems that both sides are defensive-oriented teams, and their offensive ability is really limited! Then we might as well start with a small pattern and be optimistic about the results of the two teams playing 1/2 goal!
