--------------------------------
The USA faces Costa Rica in the Gold Cup quarter-finals, looking to avoid an early exit. While the US has never lost to Costa Rica in four knockout meetings, Mauricio Pochettino’s team remains cautious against the unbeaten rivals.
Team Analysis:
The US entered the Gold Cup with recent losses but remain unbeaten in the tournament, boasting a strong attack and solid defense. They have a strong quarter-final record and have beaten Costa Rica four times in this stage.
Costa Rica, struggling with a losing streak against the US, hope to improve after a solid defensive display against Mexico. Their success will depend on their ability to create chances, aiming to break their winless run against the US in Gold Cup quarter-finals.
Player Situation:
The US team remains injury-free and fresh after their win over Haiti, with Malik Tillman leading their attack. Creativity from Max Arfsten and Diego Luna has boosted their offense.
Costa Rica faces challenges with suspensions to Joseph Mora and Manfred Ugalde, and injuries to Ariel Lassiter and Warren Madrigal. Josimar Alcocer is expected to step up in Ugalde’s absence. Goalkeeper Keylor Navas has been active, making 11 saves so far, likely to face more pressure against the US.
Result Prediction:
Costa Rica faced a tough challenge against the favored USA, missing key players due to suspension and injuries. Despite planning a defensive strategy, the US had enough strength to likely secure a win and advance to the semi-finals.
Predicted Result: USA 2-0 Costa Rica.
