Concacaf World Cup qualifying picks for Canada vs. Costa Rica
Before you tune in to Wednesday’s World Cup qualifiers, you need to see what European soccer insider Martin Green has to say. After working in the sports betting industry for several years, Green became a professional sports writer and handicapper and has covered the game worldwide. Since then, his European soccer picks have been spot-on. Green has generated over $36,000 for $100 bettors since the 2017-18 season, and he has his finger on the pulse of the game all over the globe.
For Canada vs. Costa Rica, Green is predicting Canada to win on the 90-minute money line (-187). Even though Canada has been the team on form, Green has factored Costa Rica’s ineffectual play into his decision. Not only have positive results and dynamic play been hard to come by for the Costa Ricans, the roster has aged. Even though the defensive back line has played well enough, there simply hasn’t been enough going on at the top of the formation offensively.
Canada may also take a little something extra in the match, as the FIFA World Rankings currently see Costa Rica as the better team by three spots. The Canadians have more pace in the midfield than Costa Rica, which will need to play at the top of its ability to keep competitive. With an opportunity to take a win and improve its perception internationally, Canada should parlay its motivation into a tidy victory.
“Joel Campbell is no longer a reliable source of goals, and Jonathan Moya has failed to find the back of the net in 12 appearances so far for Costa Rica,” Green told SportsLine. “[Bryan] Ruiz is still capable of the odd moment of magic, but he may be overrun by quicker, younger players like Jonathan Osorio and Stephen Eustáquio in this game.”
