www.islandstats.com will be hosting a Pre-Game Show live from the Flora Duffy South Field Stadium at the National Sports Center, prior to Bermuda hosting Costa Rica.
Bermuda enters this fixture sitting second in the group, buoyed by a clinical 4-0 win over the Cayman Islands but wary of the threat posed by Las Ticas, who remain one of the region’s elite powers.
Local players we will be discussing include:-
Kenni Thompson (Forward): The AFC Bournemouth standout is the engine of the Bermudian attack. Currently ranked among the tournament's top assist providers, her vision and delivery from wide areas will be essential if Bermuda is to breach a disciplined Costa Rican backline.
Eva Frazzoni (Midfielder): A consistent goal-scoring threat from deep, Frazzoni leads the team in scoring this campaign with two goals. Her ability to dictate the tempo and arrive late in the box makes her a nightmare for opposing defenders.
Nia Christopher (Forward): Widely regarded as one of the most exciting talents in the Caribbean, Christopher’s explosive pace and finishing have already earned her high performance ratings this season. She remains Bermuda’s primary weapon on the counter-attack.
We will also discuss Costa Rica standouts:-
Raquel "Rocky" Rodríguez (Midfielder/Forward): The Kansas City Current star is the undisputed heartbeat of the Costa Rican team. With vast NWSL and World Cup experience, her leadership and clinical finishing make her the most dangerous player on the pitch tonight.
Melissa Herrera (Midfielder): A creative spark who excels in transition, Herrera’s ability to link the midfield to the attack will test Bermuda’s defensive shape throughout the ninety minutes.
Fabiola Villalobos (Defender): The rock at the back for Las Ticas, Villalobos provides the aerial presence and composure needed to handle Bermuda’s pacey forwards.
