The CONCACAF Gold Cup continues Sunday with a quarterfinals matchup between Costa Rica and Canada in a 7 p.m. ET kickoff at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. Below, we preview the Costa Rica vs. Canada odds and lines, and make our best CONCACAF Gold Cup bets, picks and predictions.
Costa Rica won Group C and seemed to get better as the matches went on. It opened with a 3-1 win over Guadeloupe before a 2-1 win over Suriname. It took a red card in the third and final game but topped Jamaica 1-0 to secure the top spot in the group.
Canada blasted both Martinique and Haiti in a pair of 4-1 victories before falling by a 1-0 count to the United States Sunday in the decisive match for the top of the group.

Prediction
Costa Rica 1, Canada 1 (CRC advances on penalties)
Money line (ML)
The best play on the board is a DRAW (+195) after regular time, as I believe this match will be decided on penalties.
My lean is taking COSTA RICA (-125) as the team to advance to the next round, but it is going to be a super tight affair. I also like YES (-105): BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE.

Over/Under (O/U)
UNDER 2.5 (-175) is rather costly, but this will not be a match with end-to-end action. It’s going to be tight with very few scoring chances, especially during the early going as these sides feel each other out.
Yes, Canada averaged 2.7 goals per match during group play, but it was blanked by the USA, as the only legitimate side it faced.
