El Tri faces one of the toughest rivals out there in an early KO stage clash. Keep track of all details surrounding this game with our detailed guide.

What is Mexico and Costa Rica's CONCACAF Gold Cup record?

Mexico is the most-winning side in the tournament's history, with seven Gold Cup titles to their name. The last time in which El Tri won this competition took place in 2015. In the 2017 edition of the tournament, Mexico was not able to reach the final after being handed a surprise defeat by Jamaica.

Costa Rica has played thirteen of the 14 CONCACAF Gold Cup editions, with their only absence taking place in the 1996 edition. Los Ticos have not been able to win the CONCACAF Gold Cup title, with their second-place finish in 2002 being their best result so far.

What is Mexico and Costa Rica's form ahead of this game?

Mexico has won each and everyone of their games under Gerardo "Tata" Martino, including all three in the group stage of the tournament. Mexico has not failed to score at least three goals in all of Martino's games at the helm, but El Tri has dealt with some defensive woes, as they have only kept one clean sheet with the Argentine as their boss.

Costa Rica has lost four out of their seven games with Gustavo Matosas as their coach, including their 2-1 loss against Haiti in the group stage of this tournament. Costa Rica finished second in Group B of the tournament, forcing Los Ticos to play against El Tri before initially anticipated.

  • Costa Rica has only won six games against Mexico in their previous 49 games against El Tri.

  • Mexico has never lost a KO stage game against Costa Rica in seven previous Gold Cup meetings (five wins, two draws).

  • The last Gold Cup game between Mexico and Costa Rica took place in the 2015 edition, with El Tri claiming a 1-0 win on that occasion.

  • The last clash between these teams took place in October 2018. Mexico defeated Costa Rica with a 3-2 score.

Mexico vs Costa Rica - Injuries and suspensions

Mexico will only have one injury absence for this game, as Erick Gutiérrez will not be around due to a muscular injury he picked up against Canada. Gerardo Martino has no suspended players ahead of this game, and to make things even better for El Tri, defender Héctor Moreno is now available to play after being injured for the entire group stage of the competition.

Costa Rica gets to this game with a full squad to choose from, which will come in handy for coach Gustavo Matosas, who has not been able to imprint his style to the Central American side. So far, five Costa Rica players have been handed yellow cards, although none will be suspended for this game.
