Costa Rica vs Haiti Prediction: I expect a draw at halftime

Costa Rica vs Haiti Prediction and Odds on 10 September 2025

The North & Central America World Championship qualifiers matchday 2 between Costa Rica and Haiti will kick off at Estadio Nacional de Costa Rica Stadium. Costa Rica will aim to secure a win on their home soil following their tied result in their opening matchup, while Haiti will aim to prevent a defeat on the road following their tie result. Let’s analyse previous results, overall performance, recent forms, and my betting opinion on how to place your bets.

Costa Rica: Forms and Statistics

Costa Rica tied in their opening matchup in Group C standings against Nicaragua in a 1-1 draw in the closed match. In the match, they had 59% ball possession, 11 total shots, 2 shots on target, 1 big chance and 6 corner kicks. Coming into this match, Costa Rica will aim to secure their first win on their home soil and extend their unbeaten streak to two games.

Costa Rica Lineups

Defensively, players like Francisco Calvo and Alexis Gamboa provided composure, but a slight lack of midfield control allowed Nicaragua counter-attacking openings. With a 3-5-1-1 setup, Costa Rica relies on wing progression and quick interchanges between midfield and attack—assets that should help them break down Haiti’s shape.

🔖 Costa Rica confirmed lineup (3-5-1-1):

Goalkeeper: Keylor Navas

Defender players: Francisco Calvo, Alexis Gamboa, Carlos Mora

Midfielder players: Brandon Aguilera, Orlando Galo Calderon, Alejandro Bran, Joseph Mora, Kenay Myrie Reyes

Attacking players: Manfred Ugalde, Josimar Alcocer

Haiti: Forms and Statistics

Haiti ended with a scoreless draw against Honduras in their opening matchday 1, positioning them in 4th place in the Group C standings. In the match, Haiti had 45% ball possession, 15 total shots, 7 shots on target, 2 big chances and 8 corner kicks. Going into this match on the road, Haiti will aim to secure a win.

Haiti Lineups

Their 5-3-2 formation enables them to congest spaces centrally yet sometimes leaves them vulnerable to overlapping runs and set pieces, as evidenced by their eight corners conceded in the last match. Frantzdy Pierrot’s hold-up play and Jean-Kevin Duverne’s composure in defence will be pivotal. However, recent inconsistent results and limited attacking output (zero goals in the last competitive match) indicate they must improve to secure points here.

🔖 Haiti predicted lineup (5-3-2):

Goalkeeper: Alexandre Pierre

Defender players: Ricardo Ade, Carlens Arcus, Duke Lacroix, Jean-Kevin Duverne, G. Metusala

Midfielder players: Danley Jean Jacques, Leverton Pierre, Theo Michel

Attacking players: Frantzdy Pierrot, Fafà Picault

Costa Rica vs Haiti match Prediction 10 September 2025

Considering that Costa Rica and Haiti ended in a tie in their opening match on day 1, and given that both teams will aim to prevent a defeat early in their round 2 matchup, I expect both teams to display a high defensive play early in this match, and I expect both teams to end in a possible draw at halftime. Moreso, looking at their last five head-to-head games, which resulted in scoring below three goals in four games, I expect scoring below three goals in this match, while I expect more than 8 corner kicks to be recorded since both teams are good at their defensive units.
