THE PREDICTION
Costa Rica come into this on the back of a very important 1-0 win away in Kingston last month against Jamaica. The Costa Ricans have now kept three successive clean sheets as they push for the top four and the intercontinental playoff place. They now come up against a Canada side that, under the management of John Herdman, are on the verge of their first FIFA World Cup qualification since 1986. The Canadians started in the preliminary stage of CONCACAF qualifying and they have gone 17 matches without a defeat as they sit at the top-of-the-table, above the US and Mexico, needing just a point to ensure progress to Qatar. Their defensive record has been outstanding in this round, conceding just five goals in 11 games, and given Costa Rica’s aforementioned clean sheet run, a low-scoring encounter is expected for this one.
