USA vs Costa Rica: CONCACAF Gold Cup Prediction (30.06.2025)

On Monday, June 30, at 06:00 WIB, the national football teams of the United States of America and Costa Rica will meet at the U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis in the quarterfinal match of the CONCACAF Gold Cup 2025. The Americans confidently took first place in Group D, leaving behind Saudi Arabia, Trinidad and Tobago, Haiti. The Costa Ricans let Mexico pass in Group A, but beat the Dominican Republic and Suriname.

In the USA vs. Costa Rica pair, bookmakers’ forecasts highlight the “star-spangled” team as the clear favorite. You can bet on the “Yankees” winning in regular time with odds of 1.58, and on reaching the semifinals – 1.29. For the same markets, the odds for “Los Ticos” are 5.55 and 3.60, respectively. Football analysts expect a confrontation with average scoring: total over 2.5 goes for 1.77, and bets on both teams scoring are accepted at 1.81.

USA

Mauricio Pochettino is forced to play far from the main players in the current tournament. Many of the players who are part of the “stars and stripes” team are currently playing in the UEFA Club World Cup. It is enough to recall the Juventus forward Timothy Weah. The national team is currently content with such forwards as Patrick Agyemang from Charlotte and Maximilian Arfsten from Columbus Crew.

The Americans got through the group without any problems. They won all three matches, scoring eight goals and conceding one. But their most serious opponent was Saudi Arabia, which the Yankees beat with a minimum score of 1:0.

Costa Rica

For Miguel Herrera, the US team is a principled rival. It was with them that he played his first match as head coach of the Costa Ricans and the memories are far from rosy. Los Ticos are looking good at the current tournament. Yes, they conceded from Suriname and the Dominican Republic, but they were able to hold on to a goalless draw against strong Mexico. Most likely, they will try to stick to the same restraining tactics against the Americans.

Statistics & Head-to-Head Record

In the 2021-2022 season, each team won their home games in the World Cup qualifiers: USA 2-1, Costa Rica 2-0. In January 2025, the Americans were stronger in a friendly match 3-0.

Prediction

Despite the problems with the lineup, the Americans showed good teamwork in the group stage. We’ll bet on the US winning in regulation time for 1.58.
