Costa Rica meets England on Tuesday in a Group D World Cup match up in what should play out to be an entertaining match. The match is being played in Estadio Mineirao in Brazil. Costa Rica has surprised many fans with its 2-0 record in Group play beating world power houses Italy and Uruguay who played without Suarez .
A lot can be said about England and its lackluster performance at this year’s World Cup but the reality is that England seems be stuck for some time in a World Cup spell having difficulty in gaining any type of rhythm or momentum on the winning side for many World Cup years going back. England have never recorded no points in a World Cup group and even Coach Roy Hodgson has lost his last four games at the World Cup, two with Switzerland and two with England.
Expect England to battle from the start but it’s going to be a question of who strikes first as Costa Rica is seeking a decent respectful performance that will prepare the team for its next opponent.
Costa Rica Head Coach Jorge Luis Pinto has revealed that he will rest some of his players in order to keep them fresh for the second round.
I expect a good match from both sides but do predict that England will outscore Costa Rica in this match by one goal. I predict a 2-1 final score, with England winning.
My prediction: England wins 2-1
