El Salvador – Costa Rica Preview: Form, Team News, and Probable Lineups
Read about both teams and their news ahead of their duel here, including our predicted El Salvador vs Costa Rica lineups:
El Salvador
While they weren't exactly huge favourites against Martinique in the first round of the Gold Cup group stages, El Salvador was the expected winner in this game. Instead, they not only failed to win, but they ended up losing that match, against a team that reached the main draw through qualifiers. So, El Salvador fans don't have a lot of reasons to feel optimistic right now.
El Salvador Predicted Lineup:
Romero – Tamacas, Zavaleta, Rodriguez, Roldan – Reyes, Landaverde, Orellana, Henriquez, Menjivar – C. Gil
Costa Rica
Their loss to Panama in the first round of group stages wasn't too surprising and Costa Rica did have some chances to avoid a loss in that game. Still, that wasn't a great start of the competition for Costa Rica, but at least they will now play their next two games against weaker opponents on paper, so their chance of going to the next stage isn't completely lost yet.
Costa Rica Predicted Lineup:
Chamorro – Waston, Vargas, Calvo – Valverde, Borges, Madrigal, Mora – Conteras, Campbell, Pena
Starting Lineups
El Salvador
Costa Rica
Teams often announce their starting lineups an hour before the kickoff.
Player to Watch: Joel Campbell
As one of the more experienced players in the Costa Rican national team, Joel Campbell already played in more than 120 games for Costa Rica and he is our player to watch in this match.
The forward has the quality and experience to decide this game with one move and he already notched one assist at the tournament, so El Salvador has to keep a close eye on Campbell in this game.
