Team news
Los Catrachos and Los Ticos are still searching for the first Gold Cup title, and with Mexico and the USMNT bringing "B" squads to the tournament, this could be their best chance to do so.
Jorge Luis Pinto's men will also try to use this competition to find their form back, as they have struggled to win games under the successful boss. A good performance in this tournament could come in handy for them, as their presence in the 2018 World Cup is in serious jeopardy, and they would certainly use an ego boost for the final part of the qualifying process.
On the other side, Los gets to this tournament with a major absence, as Keylor Navas wasn't included in the 40-man roster provided by the Costa Rican Federation. Joel Campbell and Bryan Ruiz, who could get to his 100th cap with Los Ticos, will be the go-to guys for Oscar Ramirez's men.
