Uruguay v Costa Rica: Low Scoring Affair
Luis Suarez’s fitness is still in doubt whilst Costa Rica have lost their star striker to injury.
England fans will be watching Uruguay versus Costa Rica with interest but for the neutral it’s not a game that excites.
Costa Rica are one of the lowest ranked teams in the tournament but they are a well drilled side and play within their limitations.
Shot Comparison
Uruguay have the edge in almost every department but they laboured in qualifying for Brazil and with doubts surrounding the fitness of Luis Suarez they aren’t nearly as strong.
If you examine Costa Rica’s last nine matches they’ve only really taken a thumping at the hands of Chile. Their shot supremacy statics suggest they can compete in most games.
I still expect Uruguay to win but with both sides potentially missing their star strikers, Costa Rica’s Alvaro Saborio has been ruled out with a broken foot, under 2.5 goals looks a good bet at 7/10 Bet365.
