Costa Rica and Panama will meet in the CONCACAF Nations League on March 29, 2023, in San Jose. The approaches that each side takes to the game are different. Owners are preferred by specialists. As a result, we are anticipating a game in which the guests will attempt to demonstrate that they are grossly underestimated.
Match details :
- Costa Rica v Panama
- CONCACAF Nations League North & Central America
- Date – 29/03/2023
- Starting time – 02:00 UTC
Prediction :
There is every reason to anticipate another thrilling matchup between the two teams given their previous outcomes. However, the hosts’ excellent home record, with three wins in a row and a chance to advance to the playoffs, remains the most important factor. Summarizing the expectation for Costa Rica – Panama, we lean toward the overdog of the gathering.
Head to head :
The Costa Ricans are able to boast an excellent outcome in confrontations with the adversary with nine victories in the 22 previous encounters. When making a prediction for Costa Rica vs. Panama, we should keep in mind that the visitors won eight victories during this time, and in five additional instances, the world record was set. Since July 2017, the Panamanians have won four of their last six games, going unbeaten in five.
Team news :
With sufficient numbers, Costa Rica is preparing for the game. Since the 1-1 draw they had with Jamaica in September 2021, the hosts have won their last eight games at home. We note that Costa Rica’s 2-1 victory over Martinique on Saturday preserved the team’s chance to finish in the top four of the CONCACAF Nations League. Since starting their campaign with a 0-2 loss to Panama in June, the hosts have won two straight. The Costa Ricans are also on an eight-game winning streak.
Panama cannot advance to the playoffs unless they draw. The guests are putting on an excellent campaign. Knowing that Thomas Christiansen’s team is leading the Group B standings and has earned seven of the possible nine points is essential when making a prediction for Panama. However, the guests must also try to reverse the trend, as this team has lost six games since September.
Betting tips :
• Panama wins 33% of halftimes, while Costa Rica wins 27%.
• Panama emerged victorious in their most recent meeting.
• Panama won their most recent match by two goals.
• When Costa Rica is ahead 1-0 at home, they win every game.
