This coming Saturday the CONCACAF Gold Cup is bringing to us another interesting Group C fixture: Suriname will clash against Costa Rica. This exciting match is scheduled to kickoff on 17th July 2021 01:30 at the Exporia stadium in Orlando.
These two teams are on the opposite ends of their group which means they both need a win. There is a huge difference between the two; Suriname has never been to Gold Cup before.
Suriname have had a rough start to this competition losing 2-0 to Jamaica last week and they must avoid losing again in order to remain in this competition as the knock out stages get close.
Costa Rica on the other hand got an early goal in the opening match with Guadeloupe before comfortable 3-1 triumph. Costa Ricans got an easy pass on their previous match and will be confident going into this one.
The Ticos are one of the main favorite s alongside Mexico and United States in this tournament. They will try to eliminate any complications with the clash against Jamaica in the upcoming third round.
Suriname vs Costa Rica head to head
The last time the two teams met was in 2008 in a Gold cup which ended in 3-1 victory by Costa Rica. Suriname has improved since then and they might step up in this game.
Costa Rica has a flawless record against Suriname and has won all five matches that have been played between the two teams. Suriname has never defeated Costa Rica in an official game and has a point to prove this weekend.
