Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction Three — Anytime Goalscorer: Alvaro Morata — 2.03
Spain will be too much for Costa Rica to handle and if the Spanish side didn’t lead at half-time, let alone not win at full-time, many eyebrows would be raised. Luis Enrique’s side won three of their last four matches, hence they are in red form.
Spain will be too much for Costa Rica to handle and could score over three unreplied goals.
Alvaro Morata is likely to lead Spain’s attack against Costa Rica. The former Chelsea forward scored late in the game to help Spain beat Portugal 1-0 away from home.
Spain are in top form, having won eight of their last eleven matches across all competitions including a tight 1-0 win over Portugal in the UEFA Nations League. They won their recent international friendly match 3-1 against Jordan and will only think about getting off to a winning start in the 2022 Qatar World Cup.
Costa Rica are not doing badly either. They have won eight of their last ten matches across all competitions. They won their recent international friendly game 2-0 against Nigeria. Despite their top form, they are the underdogs against Spain, and rightly so.
Thanks to Costa Rica’s form, we can expect them to get a consolation goal against Spain. This bet option has odds of 3.78 at 1xbet.com.
Back the game to end with over 1.5 goals at the end of the regular time. This option has odds of 1.18 at 1xbet.com.
