Before you make any Costa Rica vs. Mexico picks or Concacaf Gold Cup predictions, you NEED to see what SportsLine soccer insider Martin Green has to say.

After working in the sports betting industry for several years, Green became a professional sports writer and handicapper and has covered the game worldwide. Since last year's World Cup, Green has been profitable in multiple areas on his soccer picks, including the Champions League (+4.78 units), the FA Cup (+3.07), the EFL Cup (+3.64), Euro 2024 qualifiers (+3.01) and the Europa League (+1.60).

The expert knows Mexico finished atop Group B as they won their first two matches before dropping a 1-0 decision to Qatar in their finale. The Mexicans had the third-best goal differential among the 16 teams in the competition, netting seven tallies while allowing only a pair. Midfielder Luis Romo leads Mexico with two goals, both of which came in the first half of their Gold Cup-opening 4-0 victory against Honduras.

Green also is aware that Costa Rica got off to a slow start in the competition offensively as they were edged 2-1 by Panama and battled El Salvador to a 0-0 draw. But they erupted when they needed it the most, posting a 6-4 triumph over Martinique on Tuesday to earn a spot in the knockout stage. Six different players converted in that contest as the Costa Ricans matched their goal total from their previous seven matches across all competitions.
