Mexico vs. Costa Rica World Cup 2014 Qualifying Games Schedule Update: Preview And Online Live Streaming [Watch & Listen]

Mexico will face Costa Rica in a World Cup 2014 qualifying match within the North, Central American and Caribbean region tonight at 7:30 p.m., EDT, in Estadio Azteca located in Mexico City, placing two of the region's most competitive teams in a head-to-head battle.

Although Costa Rica is currently leading the group with goals in their favor (despite the fact that they are tied with the United States and Mexico for first place), they will face a hard-hitting match against Mexico's team tonight, a squad that normally has favorable outcomes in matches held at their home stadium.

Costa Rica has won two matches throughout the qualifying stages of the World Cup 2014, while Mexico has only won one match throughout the game.

Costa Rica also has five foals in their favor while Mexico has three goals in their favor.

But Mexico's current record, which paces right behind Costa Rica, hasn't affected their berth into the World Cup in previous tournaments - the squad has had a record of pacing slowing in the beginning of the World Cup qualifiers while investing the most amount of energy in their last matches.

A loss for Costa Rica could also mean competition from neighboring Central American country, Panama, who is also playing the United States in a World Cup 2014 qualifying match tonight.

Honduras also has its eyes on a Costa Rican loss - if Honduras wins their match against Jamaica, they will have three more points than Costa Rica if they fall against Mexico.

Tonight's match between Mexico and Costa Rica could have serious implications for the North, Central American and Caribbean region World Cup 2014 qualifiers.
