Costa Rica vs Curacao Prediction 25 September 2026
๐ Costa Rica come into the CONCACAF Nations League on the back of a run of draws, with just one win in their last five matches. Curaรงao, by contrast, are going through a difficult spell, with four defeats and only one draw in the same period. Both sides have been inconsistent, though Costa Rica's home record stands out for its higher scoring. Against that backdrop, an open game is expected, with the hosts holding a clear advantage in attacking potential.
Costa Rica and Curaรงao: a brief head-to-head history
๐ Costa Rica and Curaรงao have met just twice in official matches. Their most recent encounter took place 14 November 2019 on Curaรงao's home ground and ended 1-2.
Head-to-head statistics Costa Rica - Curacao
Costa Rica are banking on their attacking prowess at home.
Costa Rica have shown consistent home scoring form, averaging 1.6 goals per game over ten matches. Their last five fixtures produced three draws, one win and one defeat, which points to a degree of stability, though the run without a win has stretched on. The home attacking trends reinforce that strength: six of their previous seven home matches ended with Costa Rica scoring at least twice. Defensively, though, they have not always held firm at home, conceding regularly, which adds to the open nature of their matches.
Match Results: Costa Rica
Curaรงao drop points on the road
Curaรงao are in poor form: four defeats and one draw in their last five matches point to clear problems at both ends of the pitch. Over ten games, they are averaging 1.5 goals scored and almost two conceded per match - a gap that explains their frequent struggles away from home and their overall points deficit this season. Matches against sides of Costa Rica's level tend to be a test for the visitors' defence, and they rarely keep a clean sheet.

Prediction for the 1st half
Costa Rica have scored in the first half in 6 of their last 7 home matches, which supports this trend. They also average 2.6 goals per home match, which increases the likelihood of an early goal. No significant factors against this selection were identified. Our prediction: Costa Rica to Score in the 1st Half at odds of 1.85*.
Total Goals Prediction
Total Goals - Over 2.5 has landed in 6 of Costa Rica's last 7 home matches, pointing to high-scoring games on their ground. Costa Rica average 2.6 goals per home game this season, while Curaรงao concede 1.9 goals per match overall and 2.33 away from home.

Both Teams to Score Prediction
In 6 of their last 7 home matches, Costa Rica have both scored and conceded, which reflects a tendency for both teams to find the net. On top of that, Curaรงao average 1.5 goals per game both overall and away from home. Costa Rica also concede 1.6 goals per home match, which further supports the case for goals at both ends. The pick is Both Teams to Score - Yes at 2.15*.
A Risky Bet
Costa Rica average 2.6 goals per home match and have been regularly productive in front of their own fans. In 6 of their last 7 home matches they scored more than 1.5 goals, which sets the stage for another high-scoring performance. The elevated line on the team total makes this a risky option, but it is justified given Curaรงao's weak defensive record away from home - 2.33 goals conceded per match. The bet is Costa Rica Team Total - Over 2.5 at odds of 3.98*.
Reliable Bet
Costa Rica have gone unbeaten in 14 of their last 15 matches, which reflects a consistent trend. The team have shown solid results at home this season - three wins and two draws without a single defeat on their own ground. These figures make the double chance on the hosts the most reliable option for this match. The bet is Costa Rica not to lose at odds of 1.20*.

Based on statistics and probability distribution, the algorithm identifies three most likely scorelines: 1-1 (9.77%), 2-1 (9.41%) and 2-0 (8.15%).

โญ Editorial Prediction
Costa Rica's home trends point to an attack that scores regularly and a side comfortable with the ball. The hosts also have experience against stronger opponents and have already built good cohesion as a unit. They tend to perform well at home even against solid opposition. Curaรงao, by contrast, are going through a poor run away from home. The trend shows they have not won in six consecutive matches. Our prediction: Costa Rica to win.
