Tip and bets
In our opinion, Mexico have serious motivation to get to the top spot in the standings. Costa Rica put up a great performance in the previous match against Panama, but The Greens are a much better team. We think that hosts will be able to get a confident victory due to a home advantage and higher class of players.
Our prediction - Asian handicap (-1,5) on Mexico
In four most recent head-to-head matches opponents failed to score more than two goals and we are expecting the same result this time. Mayas will probably get a comfortable victory, but we are not expecting more than two goals in the match.
Our second bet is on total under 2,5 goals
