In this CONCACAF Nations League fixture, Haiti host Costa Rica. These two meet often enough to count as familiar opponents, especially in their last meeting which Haiti won 1-0, and before that they drew 3-3. This time is different in that both teams have just played their first match of this competition, and each side wants points on the board early. Haiti opened their campaign with a 3-2 win, but before that they lost their World Cup matches on a losing run. Their defence is still clearly a problem. Costa Rica have it worse in that they have not won any of their last five matches, and they have just lost 3-4 in their opening fixture. Even though they scored, they conceded more than they managed. This game should be open and end-to-end from the start, because both sides tend to concede more than they score, and looking at how they have played recently, both teams get shots on target at a similar rate. Both defences have gaps to exploit. Overall, this looks more like a game where goals come from both sides than one that ends with clean sheets.
