Uruguay is considered to be one of the dark horses of this tournament due to their great results in the last years: they were 4th in the last World Cup and they won the Copa America in the following year. They are an experienced team with a great national coach and probably, they have the best front two duos in the competition in Luis Suarez and Edison Cavani.
The potential problem is that Luis Suarez is coming from an injury and he might be far from being @ 100%. Uruguay doesn’t have much talent on their midfield, so they need badly Suarez to create open-plays for them.
On the other end, Costa Rica will just be happy to packed in and hope for the best in a counter move. Most likely, they will use a 5-3-2 formation and note that they are a well organized and disciplined team. Their Goalkeeper is coming from a great individual season in Spain (Levante) so it’s not going to be easy to break them and score goals.
My leans for this contest are Costa Rica & Under. I would love to grab an AH (+1.5) line but this won’t happen for sure as I expect Uruguay to have some problems to create chances and therefore, my lean w/ Under makes sense as well IMO.
Obviously, if Uruguay scores an early game (like Colombia did against Greece today) we would be in trouble, because Costa Rica will have the pressure to abandon their defensive mindset to tie the game and naturally, they will be exposed on the back, but I'll take my chances in a low scoring game
Pick: 3 units (Single Dime Play) on Under 2.25 Goals @ -121 / 1.83 on Pinnacle Sports (OR -127 / 1.79 on Betonline)
