The Costa Rica national team will face the Martinique national team in 3rd round of the Concacaf Gold Cup on Tuesday, July 04, 2023. Live streaming of Costa Rica vs Martinique, preview, lineup predictions, and how to watch the match live broadcast, can be watched in this article.
Costa Rica and Martinique will face off in the final match of Group C Gold Cup 2023 which will take place on Tuesday 4/7. This is a life-and-death battle for both teams to fight for a ticket to the quarter-finals with Panama, which has already confirmed qualification.
Costa Rica is in third place with 1 point and -1 goal difference, tied with El Salvador in fourth. Martinique takes second place with 3 points. This means Costa Rica must win over Martinique to secure a place in the next round.
However, Costa Rica has been in poor form recently. They are winless in their last five matches. They lost to Panama in the CONCACAF Nations League; fell by Guatemala, Ecuador in a friendly match. In the Gold Cup, Costa Rica was again defeated by Panama and drew with El Salvador even though they were more favourites.
Even sadder, Costa Rica only scored two goals in those five games, including one late goal in a loss to Panama in the Gold Cup. The attack of “Los Ticos” is obviously very weak. Therefore, beating Martinique by a large goal difference is a very big challenge.
Meanwhile, Martinique has been playing very well recently. Since losing 0-5 to Panama in June 2022, Martinique has had nine matches in all competitions. The team coached by Marc Collat has had positive results with four wins, three draws and only two narrow defeats (1-2 to Costa Rica in the CONCACAF Nations League and Panama a few days ago). In addition, four of the nine matches showed that Martinique did not lose while being the underdog.
Martinique also has high confidence against Costa Rica. They beat El Salvador despite having to play with 10 men since the second half. On the other hand, they only narrowly lost to Costa Rica in March this year with a score of 1-2.
Costa Rica has a huge advantage in the history of meetings with Martinique. They have won all four of their four meetings with Martinique in official competitions, including twice in the Gold Cup (3-1 in 1993, 2-0 in 2002) and twice in the 2022/23 CONCACAF Nations League (2-0 at home and 2 -1 on the road).
Costa Rica also has a better reputation as one of the strongest teams in the North, Central America and Caribbean region, having made six appearances at the World Cup, while Martinique is not yet an official member of FIFA.
However, is Costa Rica able to meet the expectations of football fans? Or will Martinique make a big surprise by eliminating Costa Rica from the Gold Cup?
