Costa Rica prepares for its first appearance in the 2026 CONCACAF Nations League. Now they face Curaçao, who won their last three games in this competition. Both teams are set to face off for the first time since 2019, and our Costa Rica vs Curaçao match prediction is a win for The Blue Wave.
The Blue Wave's last international game ended in a 2-0 loss to Ivory Coast. Their performance in international friends has dipped from the heights reached in recent CONCACAF games, which have seen them nick three straight wins. Curaçao's last CONCACAF game was a 4-1 victory over Saint Lucia, which came after a 5-0 demolition of Saint Martin.
Curaçao has now won four of their past five games in this tournament, scoring 14 goals. With a goalscoring rate of 2.8 per game, they head into the tie against Los Ticos with a stronger advantage. Costa Rica, which lost their last international game 3-0 against England, has won only one in the past five CONCACAF games.
Moreover, they were held to a 2-2 draw against Panama in their 2nd leg after losing 1-0 in the first tie. They will likely struggle again when they play the Blue Wave, who are looking for a fourth consecutive win in five CONCACAF games. So we're backing Curaçao to come out victorious on Friday night.

Our Costa Rica vs Curacao Prediction
Los Ticos' performance during international friends indicates its defensive and goal-scoring vulnerabilities. These vulnerabilities have shown in its past five CONCACAF games, with Costa Rica winning only one game.
Friday night's test against Curaçao could stretch that run to include another loss as The Blue Wave comes into this game on the back of four wins in five in this competition. Their goalscoring form has also been more prolific, a factor that makes them favorites to score a victory against Costa Rica. Hence, our Costa Rica vs Curacao match prediction is that Curaçao wins.
