Spain vs Costa Rica Preview & Prediction
This will be a tough group stage for all teams involved as Spain look to improve upon their lacklustre performances in the previous two World Cups. In 2014, they were knocked out in the group stage as the tournament holders, whilst 2018 saw them get knocked out by hosts Russia on penalties.
Spain typically like to play a possession based brand of football and possess some of the greatest young talents at the World Cup, which could be influential. Although they don’t have the attacking quality that they used to have, but as this is a transitional period for the Spaniards, it will be tough to go deep into the tournament.
Elsewhere, Costa Rica were unlucky not to automatically qualify for the tournament, missing out on goal difference. However, they can consider themselves lucky that they defeated New Zealand in their inter-continental playoff. Goalkeeper, Kelyor Navas, was immense in that match making multiple world class saves to secure his nations fate.
Although they are have lost just once since November last year, which came against Panama in the CONCACAF Nations League. They will likely play very defensive and will look to get in behind with long balls as they did in the qualifiers. The Costa Rican’s are a tough team to beat, but Spain have a good head-to-head record against them.
VERDICT:
Spain enter this match against Costa Rica as the heavy favourites and it’s clear to see why. It should be a fairly routine victory for the European giants. (Best over 2 goals odds @ $1.66 with bet365.)
