Costa Rica vs Haiti prediction
Costa Rica began the third round of CONCACAF qualification for the 2026 FIFA World Cup with a frustrating 1-1 draw against a Nicaragua side that went down to ten men for over half an hour. They have been at four of the last FIFA World Cups and will be expected to finish at the top of Group C.
Haiti, on the other hand, managed to start their campaign with a surprisingly solid and stubborn goalless draw against Honduras at the Ergilio Hato Stadium in the neutral venue of Willemstad in Curacao.
Haiti will take their defensive and dogged style of football to Costa Rica, seeking to frustrate the central Americans, but the expectation remains that Costa Rica should come out on top here.
