Soccer World Cup Play: Greece vs. Costa Rica

Costa Rica is hands down the biggest surprise of this World Cup! As weird it might sound, after facing Uruguay, Italy and England, this contest against Greece is going to be their toughest challenge so far matchup-wise.

Costa Rica showed an exceptional defensive organization while the forward Campbell did a great job as their lone target on the front w/ some great forward runs. In all the 3 group stage games, Costa Rica played w/ a conservative mindset… they were pretty comfortable in playing without the ball, gave the ball possession to the opponents and hit them in quick counter moves.

The problem for today is that the Greeks have a similar approach to the game! Costa Rica will feel the pressure to be the “favorites” unlike the first 3 games, where they were heavy underdogs!

I expect this contest to be tight one w/ few opportunities to score. No wonder the Totals Line of this game is just 2 Goals! Having said that, I grade this contest as a pure 50/50 game and so, we have some value w/ Greece at current odds.
