Costa Rica vs Haiti: Predictions Preview, Lineups, H2h for September 10, 2025

One of the matches in the final stage of the 2026 World Cup qualifiers in the CONCACAF region will occur on Wednesday at Estadio Nacional in San José, where Costa Rica will face Haiti. Here’s a look at the expected outcome of this match.

Match preview

Costa Rica had an unexpected draw with Nicaragua (1-1) in their opening match, even with a player advantage and controlling possession. This result ended their eight-match winning streak in World Cup qualifying, and they are eager to return to form.

Miguel Herrera’s team has been strong at home, winning their last seven qualifiers on home ground. They have also gone seven official matches without a loss. Against Caribbean teams this year, Costa Rica has been dominant, winning all six of their encounters, including a victory over the Dominican Republic in the Gold Cup.

Haiti, on the other hand, can be pleased with their draw against Honduras (0-0) given their ongoing challenges. Sébastien Migné’s team hasn’t lost an official match when they’ve scored in the first half since 2008, although they have struggled to find the net lately.

Despite winning their last two away qualifiers, Haiti has not scored more than once in their last five games. The “Les Grenadiers” attack appears limited, even with experienced players like Picault and Nazon. However, they have a positive recent record against Costa Rica, remaining unbeaten in their last three meetings, including a comeback win in the 2019 Gold Cup.

Probable line-ups

• Costa Rica: Navas, Miri, Calvo, Gamboa, J. Mora, Aguilera, Galo, Bran, Lassiter, Ugalde, Martínez
• Haiti: A. Pierre, Arcus, Duverne, Ade, Lacroix, Bellegarde, L. Pierre, Jacques, Michel, Nazon, Picault

Prediction
