Mexico vs Costa Rica: Storylines and Head-to-Head

It's been a long time since the Concacaf Nations League began, as the group stage kicked off in 2019 and the finals were scheduled for 2020. A year later due to the Covid-19 eruption, the inaugural edition of the tournament will be finally concluded this week.

Mexico head to this game as frontrunners to lift the trophy, even though they'll need to get past Costa Rica first. Gerardo Martino's team, however, has already beat them in an international friendly played in March. Will El Tricolor repeat such a result to remain alive in the competition?

Meanwhile, Los Ticos will try to pull off an unexpected triumph over one of the strongest sides of the Concacaf. They haven't won in 2021 yet, but that wouldn't matter if they do so in this game. This will be the 56th meeting between these two national teams. Mexico have been dominant with 31 victories, while Costa Rica only won six games, and they've tied 18 times.
