Costa Rica has a famous history of causing surprises at the World Cup, does anyone remember 2014? Costa Rica shocked the soccer world by finishing top of a group that included England and Italy, sending both of the heavyweight European nations home in the process.

Spain vs Costa Rica Prediction
Despite the betting public putting their faith in Costa Rica, the best bet looks to be on Spain to win convincingly. The Costa Rica team is predominantly made up of players who are past their peak, Spain on the other hand, has youth and quality throughout the team. Spain will dominate the midfield through the possession of both Pedri and Gavi and should have far too much for Costa Rica to handle.
Spain vs Costa Rica Prediction: Spain -2, odds +143
Spain vs Costa Rica Prop Pick and Prediction
For Spain to go far in this tournament, they're going to need their young midfield maestros to be at their best. The Barcelona duo of Pedri and Gavi are among the favorites in the betting to be the Young Player of the Tournament and you can expect them to boss this game vs Costa Rica. Pedri, in particular, has taken European soccer by storm ever since Euro 2020 and he looks a strong bet at +450 to be the best player in this game.
Spain vs Costa Rica Prop Pick: Pedri - Player of the match, odds +450 with Bet365
Spain vs Costa Rica Projected Lineups
Spain projected lineup: Simon, Carvajal, Laporte, P Torres, Alba, Pedri, Busquets, Gavi, F Torres, Morata, Fati
Costa Rica projected lineup: Navas, C Martinez, Calvo, Duarte, Oviedo, Tejeda, Bennette, G Torres, Borges, Contreras, Campbell
Spain World Cup Odds
You're probably not interested in the Spain vs Costa Rica match odds, betting on Spain to win at -550 is not going to make you rich. However, if you think the Spaniards can go all the way in the tournament, you'll be rewarded with odds of +1000 to lift the World Cup trophy in 3 weeks time.
Costa Rica World Cup Odds
Costa Rica have the joint highest odds of any team to win the World Cup, at +100000, but if you think that Costa Rica can emulate 2014 and qualify for the knockout rounds from Group E, odds of +700 to qualify could just tempt you in to a wager.
