Colombia and Costa Rica will face each other in a tune up game prior to their regional tournaments. La Selección Colombia is one of the favorites to win the upcoming Copa America, while Los Ticos wants to prove their World Cup run last year was not just out of luck, as they keep preparing their assault on the Gold Cup next month.
For this match, coach José Pekerman will have available most of their stars, including James Rodriguez and Carlos Bacca, recently crowned as Europa League champion. The Colombians will also have Radamel Falcao starting, and he will try to continue showing his good form that has made him score four goals with Los Cafetaleros since his return. This match will give Pekerman a good chance to sort out which players will be his starters in Copa America games, where they will be facing Brazil, Peru and Venezuela.
The yellow-and-blue side has not lost a game since September, when they lost a friendly match against Brazil. This game will be a good test for them, since Costa Rica could prove to be one tough nut to crack for the flashy Colombian attack.
On the other hand, Costa Rica is trying to find their balance for their upcoming commitments. Coach Jorge Luis Pinto left the team due to certain differences with key players such as Bryan Ruiz and Keylor Navas, which revealed the coach entered their rooms in the middle of the night to make sure they were not out partying. Legendary striker Paulo Wanchope took the job, and now La Sele will try to show what they're made of.
Costa Rica has never won the Gold Cup, and this summer they will have the opportunity to show they can be a dominant force in CONCACAF's top tournament. This game will also give Keylor Navas a chance to get some playing time, after spending most of the season with Real Madrid on the bench. His performance will be key for Los Ticos if they want to win the competitionfor the first time, and keeping him in good form should be one of Wanchope's main concerns.
