Italy v Costa Rica Tip: Minnows To Shock Again?
This youngster is on Arsenal's books but is yet to play for the Londoners. But after a man of the match display against Uruguay his reputation could be made overnight.
Costa Rica’s stunning second half fightback to beat Uruguay 3-1 showed that there are four competitive teams in Group D, not just three as most expected prior to the tournament starting.
However, the bookies are rarely deterred by one result and they continue to offer value on the Central Americans having any sort of joy against Italy. The smartest bet looks to be Joel Campbell to score anytime at best odds of 7/2 (Bet365).
Man of the match against Uruguay, Campbell swept home the equaliser, then assisted the second, but more importantly for this bet had a number of other chances.
The 21-year-old found the net three times in qualifying but seems to be really coming of age on the biggest stage of all.
