Game Preview

We are not going to say that Colombia didn’t play well in the past two matches, but both France and Croatia did expose some of the weak sides in their game.

After losing to the Croatians, 1-2, France rolled over the Colombians 1-3, in a game in which Los Cafeteros couldn’t compete with the Gauls. The good thing in their game is that they usually score, which happened in 8 of the previous 9 outings.

As for Costa Rica, it failed to qualify for the World Cup for the first time in three consecutive appearances. The golden generation of Costa Rican football stepped down off the stage, and it appears that new players don’t have enough quality to achieve notable results.

At the moment, the team has 4 matches in a row without a win, losing to Haiti 1-0, then posting two ties against Honduras and Jordan, before being smashed by Iran late in March, 0-5.

Colombia vs. Costa Rica Head to Head

Colombia beat Costa Rica 3-0 at the 2024 Copa America. The last three matches between these units ended with three or more goals.

Colombia vs. Costa Rica Predictions

This should be an easy task for the Colombians, who have to boost their morale ahead of the World Cup. Nestor Lorenzo won to mix the starting lineup but open the game with his best players, which is why we believe that Los Cafeteros won’t have any trouble against this rival.
