Reasons For Spain vs Costa Rica predictions & Betting Tips

Spain are the favourites for this match with odds of 1.18 with Unibet, with Costa Rica the outsiders at 19.00 with Bet365 to cause an upset in Malaga.

Both teams qualified directly to the World Cup, and this will be a good test and also a chance to experiment for either side ahead of the tournament in Russia next summer.

Costa Rica turned out to be dark horses in 2014, reaching the quarter-final stage where they cruelly lost out to the Netherlands on penalties. They will be hoping to make the same kind of mark this time around.

Spain on the other are starting to look more like the team that dominated international football between 2008 and 2012. The tiki-taka style is back, but with younger, fresher, hungrier players.

We’re expecting them to win here, especially as Costa Rica are without star duo Keylor Navas and Joel Campbell. La Roja a re priced at 1.18 with Unibet.

He is now adding goals to his game as well. He is adored at La Rosaleda – home of former club Malaga – and you can back him to score first at 6.50 with Unibet.

As for the correct score, we think a comfortable home win is most likely. Our prediction is a comprehensive 3-0 triumph for Spain, which is also 6.50 with Unibet.
