Costa Rica vs Martinique match preview
Costa Rica are on the brink of a shock group stage elimination, so can they save themselves from an early exit?
So far, los Ticos have just one point on the board, beaten 2-1 by fierce rivals Panama in Fort Lauderdale, before Friday night’s goalless draw with El Salvador in New Jersey.
Just six months ago, Luis Fernando Suárez’s side were representing the region at the World Cup, memorable beating Japan 1-0 in Qatar.
Now though, Costa Rica are on the brink of their first Gold Cup group phase elimination since 1998, reaching, at least, the quarter-finals at all 12 editions in the 21st century to date.
Nevertheless, a win here would take los Ticos through, providing El Salvador do not beat Panama by a bigger margin 1,681 miles south in Houston simultaneously.
At the start of the night, it’s Martinique who are in pole position to claim second spot in Group C, so can they finish the job?
However, four nights ago, Marc Collat’s team were on the wrong end of a 2-1 scoreline, beaten by Panama, with Karl Fabien’s 93rd minute goal, poking home from close-range, coming too little too late.
Nevertheless, Martinique are on the cusp of reaching the knockout stages, something they have not achieved since 2002.
A win in Harrison would secure a top two finish, while a draw would be enough, unless El Salvador are emphatic winners in the other game.
So, will it be an historic night for Martinique at Red Bull Arena, or will Costa Rica’s quality see them to victory?
Costa Rica team news
Luis Fernando Suárez continues to tinker with his team, attempting to find the winning formulae.
Anthony Contreras is likely to return up front, with Joel Campbell back on the right-wing and Carlos Mora missing out.
Predicted XI (5-4-1): Chamorro; Valverde, Waston, Calvo, Vargas, Zúñiga; Borges, Suárez, Alcócer, Campbell; Contreras.
Martinique team news
Karl Fabien will be hoping that his late goal off the bench on Friday will be enough to earn him a start.
Marc Collat made five changes for the clash with Panama, despite seeing his side win four nights earlier, making his XI tough to predict.
Predicted XI (4-2-3-1): De Percin; Labonne, Poulolo, Michalet, Lapis; Ephestion, Hérelle, Fabien, Reuperné, Fortuné; Labeau.
