CONCACAF giants Costa Rica take on an improving El Salvador team in the second Group A match of the CONCACAF Gold Cup on July 4 (15:00 BST) and you can watch the match live at Bet 365.
Rodrigo Kenton’s Costa Rica have once again shone in World Cup Qualifying and are only a few points away from making the finals once again. At the halfway point of the qualifiers, the CONCACAF Gold Cup should prove to be a nice distraction for ‘Tricolor’.
It is open to debate whether they will take the competition seriously with all eyes being on South Africa 2010, however their excellent history in the competition is something which Costa Rica do not take for granted, and will want to preserve.
El Salvador have been the surprise package of CONCACAF over the past year. They were impressive in reaching the final World Cup Qualifying Group Phase, and have so far held their own, with a stunning win over Mexico giving them a chance of making it to South Africa.
Carlos de los Cobos will see a semi-final finish as a successful tournament as he looks to keep confidence levels high for the rest of the World Cup campaign. This is set to be an exciting match as both sides love to play attacking Football, and it could well make up for what looks to be a disappointing tournament curtain raiser.
Despite El Salvador’s rapid progress they are massive 6/1 underdogs for this match, whilst Costa Rica are solid at 4/9. The draw is available at 10/3, all odds with Bet 365. To watch the action, simply visit Bet 365, sign in or register (it’s free) and click on ‘live streaming sport’.
