Uruguay will be looking to return to winning ways ahead of the 2024 Copa America, when they take on Costa Rica in an international friendly. They lost out to Ivory Coast the last time they played a game back in March, and the team would have learnt from that experience. Marcelo Bielsa is a master tactician and the way he reads the game, there are not many who can replicate that on the international stage. Costa Rica on the other hand are heading into the clash on the back of a 3-1 loss to world champions Argentina but before that they had beaten the likes of Honduras and El Salvador and that should give them confidence.

Costa Rica will be banking on Jefferson Brenes and Orlando Galo in central midfield with Warren Madrigal and Alvaro Zamora being the wide men.

There are doubts over the participation of Steven Cardenas and he may undergo a late fitness test.
