Switzerland 4/5 to beat Costa Rica in Wednesdays World Cup showdown

Posted June 26th, 2018 | By: Tom Dunstan

Competition: World Cup

Market: Switzerland win

Odds: 4/5 @ Bet 365

With a win on Wednesday securing their spot in the last 16 of this summers World Cup finals, Switzerland will face off against a winless Costa Rica side at the Stadion Nizhny Novgorod in the final matchup of Group E. Given the gulf in recent form between the two sides, we are backing a routine win for Switzerland on Wednesday night.

For Switzerland, after only losing one man in their European qualifying campaign and finishing with the best defensive record in the group, The Reds have continued their impressive form at this summers finals. With one win and one draw to their name, Switzerland currently sit second in Group E, only one goal behind Brazil and knowing a win on Wednesday will book their spot in the last 16. As for their recent form, The Swiss have only won 15 of their last 19 in all competitions and are averaging two goals per game over their last six appearances.

As for Costa Rica, despite finishing with a four-point advantage in their qualifying campaign and holding the second best defensive and attacking stats in the group, Costa Rica have struggled for form entering 2018. Now losing both of their matches in Group E, Costa Rica have already been eliminated from the tournament and to make matters worse, they have now lost their last four matches on the bounce. It will be their attacking record that will be their biggest cause for concern, with zero goals at the tournament so far, Costa Rica have also failed to find the net in three of their last four.
