- Competition: CONCACAF Gold Cup
- Date: 16th June, 2025
- Kickoff: 04:00 UK / 05:00 CEST
- Venue: Snapdragon Stadium
Costa Rica and Suriname open the CONCACAF Gold Cup 2025 at Snapdragon Stadium on Monday.
Costa Rica qualified for the final tournament of the CONCACAF Gold Cup with a more than clear 13-1 aggregate victory over Belize. Most recently, Costa Rica recorded two victories in CONCACAF qualifying for the World Cup: an 8-0 win over the Bahamas and a narrow 2-1 victory over Trinidad and Tobago, which means the country currently occupies first place in its group with an unblemished 4-0-0 record.
Suriname’s path to the main round of the CONCACAF Gold Cup was a little more complicated to put things into perspective. They defeated Martinique 2-0 to qualify for the main tournament, where they have a good chance of qualifying given their recent performances in World Cup qualifying - they are currently top of their group with ten points and on course for the 2026 World Cup.
Costa Rica - Suriname Betting Tips: Costa Rica to Win
Although both teams have performed equally well in CONCACAF World Cup qualifying so far, Costa Rica go into this match as clear favourites. They have won four of their last five international matches and are still unbeaten in their qualifying group for the 2026 World Cup. Two other recent victories over Suriname are proof of their superiority. Our tip is that Costa Rica will start the CONCACAF Gold Cup with a win.
