USA vs. Costa Rica: 2019 Friendly Odds, Time, Live Stream and TV Schedule

Christopher SimpsonFeb 1, 2019

Gregg Berhalter will take charge of his second match as manager of the United States on Saturday, when they take on Costa Rica at theย Avaya Stadium in San Jose, California.

The U.S. will be hoping to avenge their defeats to Costa Rica in the CONCACAF qualifying for the 2018 FIFA World Cup, which contributed to their failure to reach football's biggest stage for the first time since 1986.

For Los Ticos,ย Gustavo Matosas will be managing his first game following his appointment in October.

Odds: U.S. (4-7), Draw (10-3), Costa Rica (6-1)

Odds according toย Oddschecker.

Berhalter's USMNT reign got off to a solid start on Sunday, when he guided his side to a 3-0 win over Panama.

Djordje Mihailovicย andย Christian Ramirez found the net on their debuts either side of a goal fromย Walker Zimmerman:

Berhalter will be hoping to make it two from two, while Matosas will be equally keen to get off to a winning start with Costa Rica.

Given the timing of the friendly, internationalย inexperience is not just limited to the dugouts.

For the U.S., no one has more than 20 caps, save forย Michael Bradley (143) and Gyasi Zardes (41).

Los Ticos are in a similar situation, as they are missing theย likes of Keylor Navas and Bryan Ruiz. From their squad, Francisco Calvo and David Guzman are the only players who went to Russia for the World Cup last year, and only three others have reached double figures for international appearances.

Against Panama, seven players made their debuts, including the San Jose Earthquakes' Nick Lima.

Goal's Ives Galarcep was impressed with his performance:

It seems he will be involved again on Saturday, per Earthquakes reporter Robert Jonas:

As a friendly, the result itself is largely inconsequential, but the match offers the players another chance to impress Berhalter and stake claims for future caps while the majority of the more experienced aren't in the squad.

Likewise, Costa Rica's players can do the same for Matosas.
