Mexico and Costa Rica did their homework and already qualified for the quarterfinals of the 2025 Gold Cup. However, the top spot of Group A will be on the line, which turns this matchup into must-see TV. Adding to the drama is the fact that Miguel Herrera, Costa Rica’s head coach, used to coach Mexico.

The Gold Cup odds are on Mexico’s side, but Costa Rica won’t go down easily.

 

Mexico vs Costa Rica Gold Cup Prediction

Long gone are the days when Mexico used to defeat all Central American and Caribbean teams like stealing candy from a baby. El Tri suffered more than expected to beat the Dominican Republic 3-2 and Suriname 2-0, making me think it will suffer again on Sunday against Costa Rica. However, Los Aztecas always find a way to win. No wonder they are the favorites in soccer futures to win the regional title at +180.

Also, don’t underestimate the atmosphere, as Mexico is essentially the host when playing in the United States. Experience and self-confidence also make a huge difference. Mexico will win 3-2.

 

Mexico vs Costa Rica Betting Tips

  • Manfred Ugalde – Anytime Goalscorer (+275)
  • Draw/Mexico – Halftime Fulltime (+330)
  • Mexico by 1 – Winning Margin (+275)

 

The best way to include Costa Rica in your soccer bets is through Manfred Ugalde, who is on fire. The young striker is fighting for the tournament’s Golden Boot after three goals in the first two games, all from the penalty spot, but he can score from anywhere.

If you can expect something from these two, it’s goals. Costa Rica scored six in its previous two games, while Mexico scored five. Plus, they have met nine times in the Gold Cup and have never drawn 0-0.

I expect a slow pace, calculated game, especially from Costa Rica, so don’t expect a blowout.

 

Top 2 Mexico vs Costa Rica Betting Picks

1. Mexico ML (-170)

In this case, the fact that Miguel Herrera used to coach Mexico gives El Tri some edge in the Gold Cup picks race. Why? Because all the players Herrera coached during his time with Mexico are gone, but his style hasn’t changed. Everybody in Mexico knows him well.

Also, Costa Rica’s defense has been a disaster lately, conceding in four of its previous five games, including three goals from Suriname.

Bet on Mexico ML (-170)

 

2. Mexico vs Costa Rica Over 2.5 Goals (-127)

The over must be in your soccer picks because both scored in three of their last five meetings at the Gold Cup.

Regarding Mexico, Cesar Montes will be extra motivated after scoring a brace against Suriname and will join Raul Jimenez on the attack. On the other hand, Costa Rica’s young core is eager to show their talents to the world. Expect a goal-fest.
