Switzerland vs Costa Rica Prediction & Tips
Among the three pretenders of Group E of the World Cup that play two places in the second round, Switzerland is the one that on paper has the easiest task. Granit Xhaka and Xherdan Shaqiri’s goals made it possible to overturn the situation in the match against Serbia and to overcome the Balkan rivals in the standings. For the team of Vladimir Petkovic it was a major step forward and now against Costa Rica by Oscar Ramirez could even be enough a match based on the result that will come simultaneously from the other group match. The Costa Ricans tried to defend themselves with their nails against Brazil but a totally defensive tactic did not pay against the Seleçao and in the final they were capitulated.
Switzerland are in a positive series of 8 matches between friendly matches, World Cup qualifiers and the World Cup final stage: 5 wins and 3 draws.
Against Brazil, Costa Rica has won the fourth successive defeat in the World Cup and friendly matches.
Under 7 of the last 9 races disputed by Switzerland has been the Under 2.5.
Under 6 of the last 8 races disputed by Costa Rica has been the Under 2.5.
The numbers make us think that it could still be a race with few goals given the numbers of the last races played by Switzerland and Costa Rica. The Swiss have held up against Brazil and beat Serbia and the fact of having the possibility to qualify for the second round pushes to focus on their success.
