CONCACAF Gold Cup quarter-finals: Mexico meet Costa Rica for exciting clash

There are still two more semi-final spots up for grabs in the Gold Cup, after hosts the United States and Jamaica both sealed safe passage to the next round and now prepare to meet each other in Atlanta.

Impressive outsiders Trinidad and Tobago tussle with Panama, while all eyes will be on the headline duel between giants Mexico and Costa Rica. Which CONCACAF juggernaut will fall at the quarter-final hurdle?

Having topped Pool C with ease, and being yet to lose a Gold Cup game, Trinidad and Tobago seem smart money to progress to the semi-finals at the expense of favourites Panama (5/4 for victory), who only made it to the quarter-finals as best-placed third team.

Having split the spoils in all of their outings so far, The Red Tide have lacked cutting edge, and are 2/1 to end on even terms in normal time once again. Though Panama do boast impressive firepower in formidable frontman Luis Tejada, who is 8/1 to net first, while prolific Dallas forward Blas Perez is 7/1 to notch last.

As the in-form team, surprise package Trinidad and Tobago also hold the head-to-head record against the Canal Men, with seven wins from 14 previous meetings. Captain and cult hero Kenwyne Jones, currently on loan at Bournemouth, struck against the Aztecs, so is 7/4 to fire home again anytime, and punters can also back midfielder Keron Cummings, who bagged a brace, at a tempting 9/1 to score two or more again.
