The competition for third place in Group D intensifies as Costa Rica and Paraguay meet at Q2 Stadium this Wednesday. Costa Rica began their 2024 Copa America campaign with a respectable draw against Brazil but struggled defensively in a 3-0 loss to Colombia.
Determined to bounce back from that defeat, Costa Rica will be without their suspended forward Manfred Ugalde and will rely on veteran Joel Campbell to lead the attack.
Paraguay, meanwhile, has faced a challenging tournament, suffering defeats to both Colombia and Brazil. Looking to deliver a performance their fans can be proud of, it is likely that both teams will find the back of the net in this match.
Paraguay enters the game without any new injury concerns, although they will miss Vancouver Whitecaps midfielder Andres Cubas, who is suspended.
The match is expected to end in a 2-2 draw.
