Brazil – Costa Rica World Cup Prediction
Brazil and Costa Rica meet at the St. Petersburg Arena in St. Petersburg in Russia for the second round of Group E of the World Cup. This group has Serbia in the lead with 3 points earned, followed by Brazil and Switzerland with 1 point each, and Costa Rica with no points. Brazil are unmotivated by the unexpected draw in their debut with Switzerland in 1 to 1. The coach Tite bet on his main player, striker Neymar, who failed to stand out in the premiere, but has the quality to change this scenario. The highlight in the match against Switzerland was midfielder Philippe Coutinho, who scored a beautiful goal. Marcelo, Gabriel Jesus and Willian are other highlights of the five-times world champion selection. Costa Rica come from a 1-0 loss to Serbia on their debut. Coach Oscar Ramirez bets on the ability of midfielder Bryan Ruiz, the benchmark of the team’s attacking side. Navas, Ureña and Bolaños are other weapons of the selection of Central America.

Prediction Brazil – Costa Rica
Brazil are singled out as the favorites for this Cup, due to the good tactical scheme adopted by coach Tite and the quality of their players despite the draw with Switzerland in the first match. Costa Rica is singled out as the weakest team in the group, but just as in the 2014 World Cup, it may surprise the favorites. The game promises to be unbalanced in favor of Brazil, who by having a more qualified team, should take the main offensive actions. So, we believe in a quiet victory of Brazil by at least two goals of advantage in this duel. Asian Handicap (-1.5) Brazil!
