Over 3 Goals In The Match

Spain are 6th in the world rankings but an exceptional run of results coming into the World Cup meant that only England and the USA were above them in the betting coming into this tournament.

Despite a player revolt last year, Spain still have a wealth of talent at their disposal and they will be expecting to make it to the latter stages of this competition.

The Spaniards dominate most matches and create more than their fair share of clear-cut chances in the process. In 2023, they are scoring an average of 3.43 goals per game.

The last time Costa Rica faced a side that were ranked inside the top 10 of FIFA’s world rankings was in November 2022. They lost 4-0 to the Netherlands on that occasion so goals are definitely on the agenda in this one.

Over 2 Cards In The Match

This is  the most difficult leg of our bet but the line is low enough to present us with some value.

Costa Rica’s last five qualifying matches for this tournament saw an average of 2.6 cards per game. They will look to disrupt Spain’s rhythm in this one and should get stuck in early to prevent the opposition laying siege to their goal.

Spain played three qualifiers for this tournament in 2022. Those matches saw an average of 2.67 cards per game.

Over 9 Corners In the Match

Spain’s matches this calendar year are averaging 9.64 corners per game. They are capable of clearing this line on their own as shown in their recent matches with Denmark and China; where they managed 11 and 10 corners respectively.

Costa Rica matches in 2023 have seen an average of 8.8 corners per game. However, the last time they faced a side ranked in the top 10, they conceded a whopping 10 corners.
