*These odds were culled from SportyBet (the odds were correct as at time of posting)
Home team highest scoring half (second) @ 2.15 odds
Booking Code: DEBA400F
Spain usually looks to pass teams to death with their possession based football, this usually means they have to wait until the second half of games to score, when teams are tired physically and mentally leaving cracks to open for them to exploit.
They have played out this outcome in all three of their last three games, at a little over 2 odds, you should be doubling your money with this.
Home win and Over 1.5 goals @ 1.27 odds
Booking Code: FC6A6C1
There are 24 teams between both these football Nations on the FIFA ranking, that is the gulf of quality between them and that is why the booking odds of Spain winning by the bookies is a low number.
We have decided to increase the number by adding an over 1.5 combo, Spain are the overwhelming favourites and this outcome should be easy for them to play out.
Costa Rica over 0.5 goals @ 2.75 odds
Booking Code: 9D6E5B86
Spain would most probably win the game, but they stand an even greater chance of conceding goals with their suspect defence especially on counter attacks, conceding even against 84th ranked Jordan
Costa Rica have not failed to score in all five of their last five league games, and at 2.75 odds, this might just be robbing the bookies blind.
