Costa Rica vs Haiti

Costa Rica host Haiti in a Group C clash of the CONCACAF World Cup qualifiers, with both teams seeking their first win in the third round.

The Costa Ricans will come into this match counting on a solid home record and will be feeling confident. They should have the upper hand over the Haitians, who are out of sorts at the moment.

Costa Rica News

Costa Rica are coming off a 1-1 away draw with Nicaragua in their opening fixture in the third round. Following an uneventful first half, they struck the opener through Alexis Gamboa but could not hold on for the win.

That result followed a familiar pattern for Costa Rica, who have failed to keep a clean sheet in five of their last six matches across all competitions. However, they have scored in all five matches, while four of those fixtures have produced over 2.5 goals.

While the result against Nicaragua will be disappointing, it will be considered a minor blip as Costa Rica are unbeaten in nine of their last 10 matches across all competitions. Miguel Herrera’s team have been victorious six times on this run and have also won three of their last four home matches.

Haiti News

Haiti are also coming off a draw in their opening Group C fixture, battling to a 0-0 scoreline at home against Honduras. They created scoring opportunities but struggled to find their cutting edge in attack.

That result is part of a recent poor run for Haiti, who are winless in their last five matches, suffering three defeats on this run. However, they seem to do their best work on their travels and have won their last six away matches across all competitions.

Haiti’s impressive away form has seen them score in their last six away matches, all of which have produced over 2.5 goals. However, Sebastien Migne’s team have failed to keep a clean sheet in four of their last five matches across all competitions.

Head to Head

Costa Rica have four wins while Haiti have been victorious just once in 11 previous matches. There have been six draws between both teams, including a 1-1 scoreline in a CONCACAF Nations League clash back in 2019.

Verdict

Costa Rica v Haiti

Haiti have done some good work on their recent travels and are likely to be fired up for this one. It is likely to be a closely fought encounter, but with Costa Rica often looking sharp in front of their fans, a slim home win could be expected.

Neither defence has shown much solidity lately, and both teams are likely to score here. With four of Costa Rica’s last six matches producing over 2.5 goals, a repeat could be considered.
