The Costa Rica team will challenge the Guatemala team in a Friendly Match in Dignity Health Sports Park Stadium, California on Thursday, June 15, 2023. For streaming coverage of Costa Rica vs Guatemala, preview and how to watch it, see in this article.
Costa Rica did not show good performance in recent matches. They only won 1 and lost 1 match in the preliminary round of the Concacaf Nations League. There, they lost to Panama which is their direct competitor and must be willing to see Panama qualify for the semifinals and will face Canada.
However, on FIFA MatchDays this June, Costa Rica has 2 friendlies against Guatemala and Ecuador. Among other things, tomorrow morning’s game against Guatemala will be a great opportunity for coach Suárez and his team to win and forget the sadness of the Concacaf Nations League.
This is the first of two friendlies Costa Rica will play in the United States before starting their CONCACAF Gold Cup campaign later this month. Guatemala, on the other hand, already played two friendlies in June.
Keep in mind, Guatemala is not a team that is at the same level and stable at the moment. The proof is that they just lost 2 friendly matches which took place earlier this June. More broadly, Guatemala has only won 1, drawn 2 and lost up to 5 times in the last 8 friendly matches.
Statistically speaking, the two Central American rivals have met 63 times in various competitions since 1921. Costa Rica is 32-16 ahead.
Their last meeting was in a friendly in 2019, which Guatemala won 1-0, which was their first victory over their southern rivals since 2005.
