For Honduras vs. Costa Rica, Gonzalez feels all the value is on one side. Honduras is coming off a devastating loss to the USMNT in which the Americans won 4-1 after going into the half down 1-0. Costa Rica has only scored one goal in three final-round qualifiers, but has been strong in its defensive third. That organization has started with the strong play of Costa Rica’s goalkeeper.
“Los Ticos have the more talented team, and we saw against the USMNT how this Honduras team can just completely fall apart,” Gonzalez told SportsLine. “There is pressure on both as yet have recorded a victory in qualifying, but with Keylor Navas in goal, I love Costa Rica’s chances of getting something from this game.”
