It is a chance to secure top spot in Group A of the CONCACAF Gold Cup as Mexico face Costa Rica in their final first round fixture. 

Both teams have looked sharp in the competition so far and are already through to the knockout phase with a 100% record. However, the Mexicans seem to always come out on top in this fixture and that trend is expected to continue.

Mexico Form


It has been a smooth start to their title defence for Mexico who have eased through to the knockout stage after winning their opening two fixtures. They claimed a 3-2 victory over Dominican Republic in their first clash before overcoming Suriname 2-0 last time out. 

Record winners, Mexico are targeting their 10th Gold Cup title and came into this competition in good form. Javier Aguirre's team have now won five of their last six matches across all competitions.

Mexico are always solid going forward and defender Cesar Montes has been the surprise, with his threat at set pieces producing three goals in the competition. However, they are without a clean sheet in three of their last five matches across all competitions, all of which have produced over 2.5 goals. 

Costa Rica Form


Costa Rica are also enjoying a fine campaign at the Gold Cup, winning their opening two matches. They began with a 4-3 victory over Suriname before claiming a 2-1 triumph over Dominican Republic in their previous fixture.

The Costa Ricans’ showings in the USA is a build up of their momentum from before the tournament. They have won six of their last seven matches but tend to find things difficult against the top sides, with a 3-0 friendly defeat to USA among their results in 2025.

With Manfred Ugalde scoring three goals in two matches, Costa Rica have no problems going forward, finding the net in their last four fixtures, all of which have produced over 2.5 goals. However, they often struggle to keep things tight at the back and are without a clean sheet in their last three matches.
 

Head to Head


Mexico often come out on top in this fixture, with 14 wins and seven draws while Costa Rica have only been victorious once in 22 matches. The Mexicans claimed a 2-0 victory when both teams met during the 2023 Gold Cup.

Verdict

Although Costa Rica have shown some quality in the Gold Cup, they tend to struggle against the top sides and also have an abysmal record in this fixture. Mexico are unbeaten in 21 of the previous 22 matches against the Costa Ricans and should see out another win here.
 
Both teams have impressed going forward in their competition and should score here. With Costa Rica’s last three matches producing over 2.5 goals, a repeat is also on the cards here.
