Mexico Vs. Costa Rica, 2014 World Cup Qualifying: Lineups

Mexico have named an unchanged team for their World Cup qualifying match at home against Costa Rica, which isn't entirely surprising. They were the better side on the road against the Ticos on Friday and have no reason to change. Their new two-striker setup wasn't great, however, as Oribe Peralta and Javier Hernandez failed to link up as much as Jose Manuel de la Torre would have liked.

Costa Rica, meanwhile, have made multiple changes.

Mexico Lineup: Corona; Moreno, Rodríguez, Meza, Torres Nilo, Zavala, Salcido, Aquino, Guardado, Peralta, Hernandez

Costa Rica Lineup: Navas; Badilla, Gonzlaez, Acosta, Salvatierra, Leal, Tejeda, Cubero, Bolaños, Campbell, Brenes

Kickoff is at 9 p.m. ET from Estadio Azteca in Mexico City, and you can catch the game on Univision.
