Chile Costa Rica betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

The most likely scenario for this match is Chile's victory. The South American team has a considerably superior squad and will play with the support of its fans, needing to demonstrate good football after the disappointment of being out of the last World Cup, while Costa Rica has only average squad and has been acting very poorly after the World Cup with 4 defeats in 4 friendlies where it even conceded 11 goals and scored only 3. In addition, Costa Rica has not won for 9 games for all competitions, losing 8 of them and in 8 of those matches suffered at least 2 goals, having a fragile defense that leaves many spaces. Given these factors, we believe that Chile will conquer the 3 points in this confrontation.

Analysis Chile

The home team plays its 9th friendly match of the year. In the previous friendly matches they registered the following final scores: Mexico (0‑1) Chile, Peru (3‑0) Chile, South Korea (0‑0) Chile, Poland (2‑2) Chile, Serbia (0‑1) Chile, Romania (3‑2) Chile, Denmark (0‑0) Chile and Sweden (1‑2) Chile. This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, stronger with the help of its supporters, since in the last 30 matches they register 4 wins, 6 draws and 5 losses in away matches, with 14 goals scored and 18 conceded; against 9 wins, 2 draws and 4 losses at their stadium, with 28 goals scored and 17 conceded. In the last 6 home matches Chile has won 3, tied 1 and lost 2.

Chile has one of the strongest teams in South America, but disappointed in the last qualifying round, was out of the last World Cup and is trying to restructure to return to the next World Cup. The team is characterized by a quality offensive system based on ball possession and that creates several opportunities per game, however the defensive sector is somewhat fragile, delayed to recover and finds great difficulties to hold counter-attacks, since it likes to play with a last highest line and this has been a big problem against fast teams. For the game against Costa Rica, coach Reinaldo Rueda should play in a 4-4-2 with a fast attack and defensive midfielders who supports a lot, with Arturo Vidal in the midfield and striker Alexis Sánchez, who despite of not making the best of the seasons, has great technique and finishing power.

Confirmed Lineup: Johnny Herrera, Mauricio Isla, Enzo Roco, Guillermo Maripán, Sebastián Vegas, Gary Medel, Erick Pulgar, Arturo Vidal, Alexis Sánchez, Esteban Paredes, Junior Fernandes.

Analysis Costa Rica

The away team plays its 10th friendly match of the year. In the previous friendly matches they registered the following final scores: Colombia (3‑1) Costa Rica, Mexico (3‑2) Costa Rica, Japan (3‑0) Costa Rica, South Korea (2‑0) Costa Rica, Belgium (4‑1) Costa Rica, England (2‑0) Costa Rica, Costa Rica (3‑0) Northern Ireland, Tunisia (1‑0) Costa Rica and Scotland (0‑1) Costa Rica. This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, stronger with the help of its supporters, since in the last 30 matches they register 3 wins, 1 draw and 11 losses in away matches, with 11 goals scored and 30 conceded; against 6 wins, 7 draws and 2 losses at their stadium, with 19 goals scored and 8 conceded. In the last 8 Friendlies away matches Costa Rica has a record of 1 win and 7 losses.

In this competition, they have a sequence of 7 losses in the last away matches. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 7 of the last 9 matches for this competition. In 9 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 5 times and have never been able to turn the score around.

Costa Rica is ranked 37th in the FIFA rankings, achieved the great conquest of reaching the last World Cup, even leaving the United States out and now starts a new cycle to reach the 2022 World Cup. The team has not shown good performance after the World Cup, having accumulated 4 consecutive defeats, but all losses were against more qualified national teams. The team is characterized by playing at high speed, trying to create mainly on the sides of the field, but the big problem is that it has a fragile defense that leaves many spaces behind, so much so that in the 4 friendly previously mentioned, in 3 of them suffered 3 goals and in 1 of them suffered 2 goals, being a team that has players of low technical quality in this sector, which should be a great difficulty against the very technical team of Chile. 
For the game against the South Americans, coach Gonzalez should play in a 4-4-1-1, with highlight for the midfielder Bryan Ruiz, responsible for most of the offensive creation.

Confirmed Lineup: Esteban Alvarado, Ronald Matarrita, Kendall Waston, Ian Smith, Giancarlo González, Francisco Calvo, Celso Borges, Allan Cruz, Bryan Ruiz, Joel Campbell, Jonathan McDonald Porras.
