At this stadium, the head‑to‑head history favours the away team, since they have a record of 2 wins and 1 draw in the last 3 matches. Sure enough, the last time these teams met at this stadium, on 14‑10‑2020, in a match for the Friendlies, Panama won by (0‑1). The only goal of the match was scored by A. Ayarza (39' ).

Analysis Costa Rica

The home team is currently in the 5th position, with 9 points won, after 2 wins, 3 draws and 3 losses. In the penultimate round, they have lost an away match against Canada by (1‑0). In the last round, they have won a home match against Honduras by (2‑1). This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, stronger with the help of its supporters, since in the last 30 matches they register 2 wins, 5 draws and 8 losses in away matches, with 8 goals scored and 18 conceded; against 7 wins, 2 draws and 6 losses at their stadium, with 18 goals scored and 14 conceded. Costa Rica registers 2 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss in the last 4 home matches for the WC Qualification Concacaf. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 6 of the last 8 matches for this competition. Goals have been frequent in their home matches, as 5 of the last 11 have ended with Under 1,5 goals and 8 out of 11 have ended with Under 2,5 goals. In the last 11 home matches for all competitions there is 1 period that stands out: they have conceded 5 of their 11 goals between minutes (31'‑45').

Costa Rica still believe they can fight for a place in the World Cup, but for that they need to win this match. Against Panama, the team has a tough match ahead and will have a strategy based on intense marking in attacking midfield, trying to put pressure on the opposition to make mistakes. The team must also attack with strength and organisation, without neglecting the defensive system, which will need extra attention during the 90 minutes.

Confirmed Lineup: Keylor Navas, Ronald Matarrita, Orlando Galo Calderón, Kendall Waston, Francisco Calvo, Keysher Fuller Spence, Yeltsin Tejeda, Aaron Suarez Zuñiga, Joel Campbell, José Guillermo Ortiz, Adrian Martínez Batista.

Analysis Panama

The away team is currently in the 4th position, with 14 points won, after 8 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses. In the penultimate round, they have won an away match against Honduras by (2‑3). In the last round, they have won a home match against El Salvador by (2‑1). This is a team that usually maintains its competitive level in home and away matches, since in the last 30 matches they register 6 wins, 3 draws and 6 losses in away matches, with 30 goals scored and 23 conceded; against 7 wins, 3 draws and 5 losses at their stadium, with 19 goals scored and 14 conceded.

In the last 14 away matches for all competitions there is 1 period that stands out: they have scored 11 of their 30 goals between minutes (76'‑90').

The Panama team has another match in which they will need to be focused and technically strong throughout the 90 minutes to get a positive result. The Panamanian team will try to control the match by controlling the ball and strong defensive marking in midfield. They will also need to be quick and organised in attack and will use their accurate passing to penetrate the Costa Rican backline and score. A draw against a direct rival for a place in the table could be considered a good result.

Confirmed Lineup: Luis Mejía, Eric Davis, Michael Murillo, Fidel Escobar, Andres Andrade, Édgar Bárcenas, Adalberto Carrasquilla Alcázar, Aníbal Godoy, José Rodríguez, Freddy Góndola, José Fajardo Nelson.
