- Venue: Estadio Rommel Fernandez (Panama City)
At one point, Panama seemed to be well on its way to securing a place in the World Cup in Qatar, but Thomas Christiansen’s team was simply bad in the finale and had to say goodbye to the big tournament. In fact, Los Canaleros have suffered a drop in form lately, achieving only one triumph from the previous five games, including a 2-3 defeat by El Salvador in a friendly match, played in early May. Costa Rica, meanwhile, looked like Phoenix was rising from the ashes lately, and The Los Ticos have managed to score 19 of a possible 21 points in the previous seven qualifying matches. Coach Luis Fernando Suárez is very pleased with the recent form of his team, and Costa Rica will aim to extend the winning streak to five games and start this tournament in style.
Panama vs Costa Rica Betting Tips
Panama and Costa Rica met twice during the World Cup qualifiers - the first clash ended in a boring 0-0 draw, while Los Ticos achieved a minimal 1-0 triumph in front of home fans in the second duel. Panama recently had a series of three consecutive victories, but given the current form of these teams, I do not believe that Los Canaleros can take more than one point against Costa Rica, which is on fire. Costa Rica not only raised their form to the highest level, but Los Ticos showed great defensive stability during the winning streak, keeping five clean sheets from the previous six games. I believe that Costa Rica will do everything to prove their value once again against Panama, but I also expect that there will not be too many chances, as was the case in their previous four meetings, where only two goals were scored.
