Uruguay – Costa Rica

Uruguay Costa Rica football odds tipsUruguay hosts Costa Rica in an International Friendly as 1.60 favorites. I remember in the World Cup Uruguay had odds 1.30 but of course Costa Rica deserves more respect now after their football in Brazil. Uruguay will be looking for revenge after losing 1-3 in the World Cup … difference from that match will be that now they play at home and they have Suarez, who will almost surely start with Cavani up front. In the World Cup Uruguay was a totally different team when they had Suarez … beat England and Italy … without him they lost vs Costa Rica and Colombia. He is absolutely key for this team and makes things work, even if he is not in his top form now after suspension.

After the World Cup Uruguay made a tour in Asia, played 4 games, 3 wins and 1 draw, 7-1 goal difference … could have been 4 wins and 7-0 goal difference but they got a goal in last minute from Saudi Arabia. For today Caceres is missing but the hosts will field the best team they have … no resting players.

Bet on Uruguay – Costa Rica with the best football odds at Pinnacle Sports.

Costa Rica continued the good football after the World Cup, showing they don’t want to bee a one month miracle and they want to build on the World Cup success … 4 wins and 1 draw since the World Cup. It is also true that Costa Rica met poor opponents but last month they beat Korea Republic 3-1 so that has to count for something. Costa Rica will rest no players but their stars Ruiz and Campbell had difficult seasons in England … Ruiz lately back on track but Campbell still not playing at all at Arsenal.

We must respect Costa Rica, but Uruguay will win this game in my opinion. They are the better team and will be motivated for revenge, more than your usual International Friendly. Also playing at home will make a big advantage for them. I see Costa Rica building on the World Cup success but they do have their limits and it’s naive to think we will see them THAT GOOD again … at least not consistently. Pick Uruguay to win but also with Suarez up front they can do it by 2 goals … so my tip will be Uruguay -1 asian handicap. Correct score prediction: Uruguay – Costa Rica 2-0.

  1. i like this tip very much.
    however, you failed to mention the most important argument.
    Costa Rica lost their mastermind coach, the one that was responsible(70% IMHO) for their success at WC.

  2. Wrong… Costa Rica still beat uruguay/// 3-3 draw and costa rica took the win on penalties. lolololol
