Football analyst Renata Leite predicts a comfortable victory for Costa Rica in their upcoming World Cup Qualifier against Bahamas on June 7, 2025. The CONCACAF match, set to kick off at 23:00, is expected to be a one-sided affair with Costa Rica possibly winning by three goals or more.
"Costa Rica should really have the opportunity for a goalfest against Bahamas, who will need to fight hard to be scoring at all," – notes Leite in her pre-match analysis.
Bahamas enters this fixture after suffering a devastating 6-0 defeat to Grenada in their previous World Cup Qualifying match. Their recent form has been concerning, with their defensive line showing significant vulnerabilities. Interestingly, matches involving Bahamas have been high-scoring affairs lately, with 28 goals in their past six clashes – though only five were scored by Bahamas themselves.
Meanwhile, Costa Rica is looking to bounce back after their loss to the United States in a recent International Friendly, where they conceded goals to Brian White, Caden Clark, and Patrick Agyemang. The team has shown a pattern in their recent fixtures – in five of their last six games, at least one side failed to score.
For fans wanting to watch the action, the match will be streamed live on CONCACAF's YouTube channel in many territories. By the way, betting markets strongly favor the Costa Ricans, with odds of 1 for a Costa Rica win compared to 51 for a Bahamas victory.
Given Bahamas' defensive struggles and Costa Rica's need to recover from their recent defeat, can the island nation produce a surprise, or will Costa Rica deliver the expected convincing victory? Saturday's clash should provide all the answers.
