Sutton knows the USWNT are a perfect 3-0-0 under new manager Emma Hayes, posting a clean sheet in all three matches. The Americans scored a total of eight goals in those victories, with defender Tierna Davidson and forwards Mallory Swanson and Sophia Smith all converting twice. The USWNT won each of their previous 17 meetings with Costa Rica across all competitions, the longest winning streak against any opponent in program history.
The expert also has taken into account that prior to their defeats against Argentina, the Costa Ricans posted 5-1 and 2-1 victories over Peru. Defender Cristel Sandi was left off the roster for the matchup with the United States after scoring in both wins, but forward Melissa Herrera - who netted the lone goal for Costa Rica in the 2023 Women's World Cup - will be on the pitch. The USWNT also will have to contend with midfielder Raquel Rodriguez, who is Costa Rica's all-time scoring leader with 54 international goals.
