Costa Rica:
Costa Rica have already won the title three times in the CONCACAF cup competition. Since the renaming to the Gold Cup, the success of the “Los Ticos” but failed. The third place in the last edition of the Gold Cup was since 1989, the best result of the Costa Rican. As in the years before, Costa Rica is one of the favorites next to Mexico and the USA. In Group B, Costa Rica is a big favorite and could celebrate a 4-0 victory against Nicaragua right at the start. In the second group game, there could now be the next shooting festival of “Los Ticos”.
Last year, the “Los Ticos” participated in the 2018 World Cup in Russia, but retired after only one point win singing and soundless. Gustavo Matosas took over at the beginning of October, the vacant coach of the Costa Rican national team. Despite two solid performances, there were defeats to Mexico and Colombia for coaching debut. Only in the preparatory games against Chile and Peru Matosas won his first victories as Costa Rica coach.
15 legionaries own the “Los Ticos” in the squad. Most valuable player in the squad of the Costa Rican is Joel Campbell, who is under contract with FC Club Leon. In the first Gold Cup game four different players scored a goal in the Costa Ricans. Offensively dominated the “Los Ticos” anyway at will and made a total of 15 shots. Only a single enemy shot went to the goal of Costa Rica. With such a performance, the “Los Ticos” should not burn against Bermuda. A renewed shooting festival can not be ruled out in the quality difference between the two national teams. Whether a Costa Rica against Bermuda prognosis on it also true?
Bermuda:
For the first time, the national team of Bermuda participates in a major football competition. The Gold Cup debut of the Bermudian selection are given no major title opportunities, which is quite understandable due to the lack of quality in the squad. Already at the opening match against Haiti made that noticeable, even if Bermuda lost just under 1: 2. With the exception of Burnley FC striker Nahki Wells, the Bermuda squad has little to offer. Therefore, coach Kyle Lightbourne will have to do magic to make it into the knockout stage.
Bermuda had won the ticket to the Gold Cup 2019 with a surprise 3-1 victory against the Dominican Republic. As fifth-placed in the CONCACAF Nations League, there were three convincing performances by the Lightbourne team after the opening defeat against Aruba. In Group B of the Gold Cup Bermuda has recorded despite a solid performance against Haiti no point win. The next defeat could possibly seal the group off.
Already in the preparatory match against Cuba this year, the weaknesses of the Bermudian selection have clearly shown. In the duel against Costa Rica, the team of Lightbourne meets one of the title favorites in the Gold Cup. The offensive and defensive qualities of Costa Rica will not have gone unnoticed by the Bermudian coach.
After the narrow defeat against Haiti it remains to be seen whether Bermuda can also hold against Costa Rica or there is a bitter defeat. In the latest group match against Haiti only two shots of the Bermudian selection went to the opposing goal. Already a goal success of the Lightbourne Elf is rewarded at Costa Rica against Bermuda with lucrative odds.
