Switzerland Costa Rica betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

This game has a great tendency to be balanced, since the two national teams present more defensive game styles. Still, and to enjoy a squad with more technical competence, Switzerland should dominate ball possession, however, without great plays of real danger. On the other hand, Costa Rica will remain faithful to their game model, a style that often seeks the direct game for the attack. Having said that, risking in favor of a game with a few goals is an excellent option.

Preview
Switzerland and Costa Rica meet , in a match for this stage of the World Cup (Group Stage). There is no record of official head‑to‑heads between these two teams in the last 3 years. The last time they met, on 01‑06‑2010, the match ended with the final score: Switzerland (0‑1) Costa Rica.

Analysis Switzerland

After 1 win and 1 draw, they come to this 3rd round in the 2nd position of Group E, with 4 points won. In the previous round, they won against Serbia by (1‑2), after they have tied in their first group stage by (1‑1) against Brazil. Switzerland has won 6, tied 3 and lost 1 of the last 10 matches. Their offense has scored frequently, since they have scored goals in 8 of the last 10 matches. They have conceded the first goal in 4 of their 15 matches, and have only turned the score around in 1.

Switzerland comes to this game motivated after having conquered a great victory over Serbia, by 1-2, in a game in which Xhaka and Shaqiri scored the goals of the triumph. With this good result, the Swiss have great chances to advance in this World Cup. In this game against Costa Rica, one of the most accessible opponents of the group, coach Vladimir Petkovic should risk in the 4-2-3-1 privileging ball possession and organized attacks. Xherdan Shaqiri is one of the great highlights of Switzerland, being this very skillful and strong player in the finalization. For this second game it is expected that the coach will maintain the same eleven of the last game, since all the players are available for the match.

Confirmed Lineup: Yann Sommer, Stephan Lichtsteiner, Ricardo Rodríguez, Fabian Schär, Manuel Akanji, Granit Xhaka, Valon Behrami, Blerim Džemaili, Xherdan Shaqiri, Breel Embolo, Mario Gavranović.
Coach: V. Petković.

Analysis Costa Rica

They come to his 3rd round of Group and in the 4th position, no points won yet, after 2 losses. In their debut in this group stage they lost against Serbia by (0‑1). In the second round, they lost against Brazil by (2‑0). In the last 10 matches Costa Rica has won 2 and lost 8. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 8 of the last 10 matches. In 15 matches, they have conceded the first goal 9 times and have never been able to turn the score around.

Costa Rica heads into the last World Cup game already eliminated, as they have had two defeats in both games against Serbia and Brazil. In the last game against the Brazilians, the Costa Ricans even performed a good match, however, they did not hold the final pressure on the part of the opponent. In this game against Switzerland, coach Óscar Ramírez should play in 5-4-1, however, with a more cautious strategy, since the opponent holds several individual values. Still, Costa Rica should dominate ball possession in some moments of the match: Bryan Ruíz is responsible for creating and organizing the offensive process. For this game the coach can count on all his players.

Confirmed Lineup: Keylor Navas, Cristian Gamboa, Bryan Oviedo, Kendall Waston, Giancarlo González, Jhonny Acosta, Celso Borges, David Guzmán, Bryan Ruiz, Joel Campbell, Daniel Colindres.
