Costa Rica vs. Belize Live Stream, Score, Preview, Predictions: CONCACAF Gold Cup 2013 Group C

By Staff Reporter| Jul 13, 2013

Costa Rica looks to lock up a spot in the second round of the CONCACAF Gold Cup 2013 when it takes on Belize on Saturday.

The Costa Ricans opened the tournament with a 3-0 victory over Cuba in a game that saw the team dominate from the start.

Meanwhile, Belize was embarrassed 6-1 by the United States in their opening match.

"We know we can play much better," Belize coach Ian Mork said. "It's just a disappointment that we didn't show up with more confidence and a stronger mentality in that game. We really thought that was going to be our day when we could really prove we could keep up with them. When the score was 2-1, if we could have gone into halftime at that moment it would have made a big difference in the game."

The two sides have faced off four times in their respective histories. In December 1995, Costa Rica defeated Belize 2-1. Less than four years later, the Costa Ricans turned out a 7-0 victory before posting a 4-0 win two years later. The clubs recently met in January 2013 with the Costa Ricans pulling off a 1-0 victory.

Prediction:  Costa Rica enters the match as the undisputed favorite to win this match. Look for them to dominate Belize in a 5-0 victory.

Start Time: Kickoff starts at 6 p.m. EST.
