Prediction
We’re inclined to think that United States are likely to have the majority of the possession and should be able to turn a few of their chances into goals.
At the same time, Costa Rica could well struggle getting on the scoresheet but do we see them managing to get on the scoresheet as well here.
Therefore, we are anticipating a decent 3-1 victory for United States come full-time.
