Haiti host Costa Rica on 5 October 2026 at 03:00 in the CONCACAF Nations League Group A. Haiti opened with a 3-2 win over Trinidad and Tobago, rallying from 2-1 down to score twice in stoppage time. Costa Rica collapsed spectacularly against Curaçao, leading 3-0 at half-time before conceding four straight goals to lose 3-4. Both teams arrive in Kingston with attacking intent but fragile defences.
Form and H2H
Haiti are unbeaten in their last five meetings with Costa Rica, winning twice and drawing three times. Their two 2025 fixtures ended 3-3 in San José and 1-0 to Haiti in the return. Four of those five head-to-head matches saw both teams score. Costa Rica's last five matches have all produced over 2.5 goals, while five of Haiti's last six have crossed that mark. Haiti average 1.70 goals per game away but concede 1.50. Costa Rica average 1.30 goals at home but leak 2.10 per match.
Best bet
Both teams to score – Yes. Haiti showed attacking ambition against Trinidad and Tobago, with Fabrice Picault and Wilson Isidor combining to turn a 2-1 deficit into a 3-2 win. Costa Rica proved they can create chances in volume, scoring three times in the first half against Curaçao. Haiti's defensive transitions remain loose, and Costa Rica will press for an early response after their opening defeat. Four of the last five direct meetings produced goals at both ends. Back both teams to score at 22Bet 1.75.
Odds to watch
Haiti are 2.35 at 22Bet to win outright, with the draw at 3.38 and Costa Rica at 2.79. Costa Rica cannot afford another defeat with only four group matches available, so expect them to attack more aggressively than they did in the second half against Curaçao. Haiti's recent form and home advantage in Kingston make them slight favourites, but the head-to-head record suggests this will be competitive.
