Spain vs Costa Rica Tips, Odds & Predictions

Al Thumama Stadium will host the FIFA World Cup game between Spain and Costa Rica on Thursday November 24, 2022 at 3:00 am. Spain are favourites with the bookmakers.

Costa Rica are the fourth-best team from a weak Concacaf qualifying section. They are in a group containing Germany, Japan and opening opponents Spain. Costa Rica won the World Cup qualifying play-off against New Zealand 1-0. Spain have beaten Italy, Portugal and Germany 6-1 in the last 24 months. Luis Enrique's team is hard-running and direct. It is also largely youthful and will press high. Costa Rican team lacks technical quality and are notably long in their tooth. Seven of the starting team against the New Zealander were 30 or older. Two of them were sacrificed at half-time to make way for the experience of 37-year-old Bryan Ruiz and 34-years- old Kendall Waston.

Spain is tipped to win at $1.15 odds.
