Command Analysis
Panama
PanamaCurrent form
Despite its rather modest roster, the Panama national team has shown impressive results in recent years. The team managed to reach the playoffs of the last America Cup, beating Bolivia (3:1) and the USA (2:1) in the group. Unfortunately, they failed to fight for a place in the semi-finals - Colombia was much stronger (0:5). In the League of Nations, they also managed to reach the playoffs, where they managed to win against Costa Rica (1:0) in the first match of the quarter-finals. The only goal was scored from a penalty, but Thomas Christiansen team could have scored from the game - there were plenty of scoring chances, and Panama had a noticeable advantage in the game.
Disqualifications and injuries
Panama have no problems with their squad ahead of the match against Costa Rica.
Interesting trends for betting
- The team has suffered three defeats in its last four matches.
- In the last four matches, they managed to score only two goals

Costa Rica
Costa RicaCurrent form
The Costa Rican team barely took first place in their Nations League group, just one point ahead of Suriname and Guatemala. They managed to get through the group stage without defeats, although there were draws - with Guatemala (1:1) and Suriname (0:0). In the first playoff match, the Costa Ricans lost to Panama with a minimal score (0:1). It is worth noting that these teams already met in the previous Nations League draw, and at the same stage. Then the Panamanians won by a much larger margin - 6:1 on aggregate.

The visitors have no problems with their squad before the match with Panama.
Interesting trends for betting
- The team has suffered only one defeat in its last six matches.
- Costa Rica have lost all six of their last head-to-head encounters with Panama.
Estimated lineup: Sequeira - Calvo, Vargas, Cascante, Mitchell - Madrigal, Brenes, Aguilera Zamora, Vargas - Martinez, Ugalde.
Trends
Bet Exact score 1:0
Two of the last five head-to-head matches ended with this score
6.50Bet At least one team will not score
This bet has played in three of the hosts' last four matches
1.75Bet Number 1 in the final score
The pattern has worked in three of the last five matches between the teams.
1.64Tip and bets
There are not many star players left in the Costa Rican national team, only the forward of Moscow Spartak Ugalde stands out. The rest of the players are much lower class. At the moment, the Panama national team looks stronger, so its victory in the first match is not at all surprising. Most likely, the Panamanians will win at home as well.
Our prediction is Panama win at 1.90
Bet on total
The hosts have already managed to take the lead in the first match and will probably play on the score, while the visitors are unlikely to be able to get through Panama defensive redoubts. We believe that the opponents will not score more than two goals in the return match.
Our prediction is total under 2.5 goals at 1.65
Bet on corners
We believe that the teams in this match will rely on defense, so we are unlikely to see a large number of corners here. It is worth betting on the total under this indicator.
Our prediction is total under 8.5 corners for 1.96
