Haiti vs Costa Rica prediction
In Group C of the third round of CONCACAF qualification for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, Honduras remain at the top of the group with eight points in their four matches, sitting two ahead of Costa Rica and three clear of Haiti, with Nicaragua on just one point.
Haiti suffered their first defeat of this stage of qualifying in their most recent outing as they were hammered 3-0 by the aforementioned Hondurans in the October international break. They face a Costa Rican side that have a win and three draws thus far with a limited attack being easily stifled, despite hammering a poor Nicaragua side by four goals to one last month.
Costa Rica have been a little chaotic at the back given the standard of their opposition and, whilst favourites in Haiti, it could end up being quite an entertaining encounter.
