When looking at the soccer odds at FanDuel Sportsbook, which bets make the most sense for this clash?

Gold Cup Betting Picks for USA vs. Costa Rica

USA Over 1.5 Goals (-156)

Despite all the chatter about who isn't here for the USMNT this tournament, the Americans put forth a strong effort in the group stage, and I like them to net multiple goals tonight.

In three group matches, the US scored eight goals and conceded just one in games against Haiti, Saudi Arabia and Trinidad & Tobago. Sure, the level of competition wasn't great, but it's not like Costa Rice is a world beater.

The Costa Ricans boast Keylor Navas in goal, but they shipped four goals across three group matches, including three to Suriname. They held on for a 0-0 draw versus Mexico but were mostly battered in that one with Mexico garnering 70% possession and four shots on target to Costa Rica's zero.

The match versus the US should play out similarly with the Americans controlling possession, and the USMNT should be able to break through against Costa Rica.

Patrick Agyemang to Score or Assist (-130)

Agyemang is having a nice tourney for the US, and he can keep it going in this matchup.

Starting in all three matches and seeing at least 72 minutes in each, Agyemang has locked down a key role in Mauricio Pochettino's attack, and he's delivered the goods, scoring twice while putting a total of five shots on target (eight shots in all).

As mentioned, Costa Rica's defense hasn't been good. They were fortunate to keep Mexico off the board and allowed three goals to a Suriname side that failed to score in either of its two other matches.

The US should have chances to score, and Agyemang figures to spend a lot of this match in dangerous areas.
