The US takes on Costa Rica at Chicago's Soldier Field on Tuesday (8pm ET | FS1, Univision, UDN), and it seems the Americans are favored – to win the Copa America game outright.
A scan of the game's line indicates a US victory ranking as the likeliest outcome, followed by a draw (~1.5 times less likely) or a victory by Los Ticos (~3.5x).
The expectations are heavily weighted toward the Yanks coming away with a full result, and considering the US need for three points, that's perhaps reassuring to the American fanbase … as is the 15-match home unbeaten streak the US has run up on Costa Rica since 1989 (13-14-6 overall). Of the current USMNT roster, 17 players have faced Costa Rica at least once, though Clint Dempsey is the lone goalscorer among them.
What say you? Find the numbers reassuring or reason to worry?
Are the odds actually in the USMNT's favor?
