The CONCACAF will finally finish its first round on Tuesday as only one team has been guaranteed a spot in the hexagonal round.
Costa Rica vs. Guyana 9 p.m. EDT
Costa Rica has the good fortune of taking on the worst team in the group with only one point needed to qualify to the next round. In all likelihood, Costa Rica could probably afford to lose this one as Mexico will probably defeat El Salvador and they would qualify no matter what.
Last time they played Guyana, they won 4-0 on the road and looked invincible. They had a rough match in the group stage with two straight games against Mexico, but a 1-0 win in El Salvador quelled any doubts about the team's chances.
