There is, however, a concern that the team will not be as solid as before with the absence of goalkeeper Keylor Navas, who will not be playing because of health concerns. Danny Carvajal will take his spot for the the tournament. Other Costa Rican players who are deemed vital for the team's performance are Celso Borgers, Patrick Pemberton and Bryan Ruiz.
Meanwhile, Paraguay has also something to prove for the Group A lineup. AOL reported that the team faced huge disappointment last year in the semifinals versus Argentina. Defender Fabian Balbuena said he and the rest of his teammates wanted to defeat Costa Rica to set a positive example for their Copa America stint.
"At international level all prepare in the best way. I think the teams renowned for producing good performances are the candidates," said Balbuena. He added that the team recognizes the potential of the players and utilize this to produce good results during their games.
The team also boasts other great players in their lineup for Saturday including young player Dario Lezcano. Tico Times described the forward as a great scorer for his team, having been able to net four goals in the past four games of Paraguay.
The last meeting of these two teams were in March 2015, which resulted in a draw with no one of them being able to score. But as far as Copa America is concerned, Paraguay seems to have a better record with no losses for the group matches.
Viagogo detailed that tickets for the live match at the Camping World Stadium costs between $60 to $155. The game will start airing on Fox at 5 p.m. but a livestream of the game can also be found using this link.
