BEST ITALY VS COSTA RICA PREDICTION

Over 2.25 goals
Tipped at: 1.83 - 20th Jun 15:28
Italy will take on Costa Rica in this highly anticipated Group D fixture. People are expecting Costa Rica to make another upset in this world cup. They might or might not make it,but one thing is for sure with this Costa Rican side. They will continue to play attacking football and since they managed to trouble a strong uruguyan defense,i expect them to do the same in this match as well. They did not sit back and chased the 1 goal deficit against uruguay which shows their character. Italy themselves are capable of scoring at least 3 goals and so over 2.25 goals seems to be a safe enough bet for this match.
Italy have scored in 5 consecutive matches in this tournament

Italy to win
Tipped at: 1.57 - 15th Jun 17:20
Italy vs Costa Rica The hosts will be playing what is arguably their easiest game in the group having already collected 3 points from the three lions, and a win here will all but seal their qualification into the round of 16. Italy played uncompromisingly, controlling possession and ultimately the flow of proceedings from start till finish, and will be looking to do the same against a team that just managed to upset Uruguay, in a match that should have been lost. I like how the visitors have thrown a wrench into the works as no one predicted they would qualify, and if they manage to draw all their games, they may surprise everyone.

Italy will play against Costa Rica in their second game in Group D at the World Cup in Brazil. The Azzurri won their opener against England while Los Ticos pulled off a surprising 3-1 win against Uruguay. Costa Rica deserves the credit for that win but we saw a very poor Uruguay side in that match. Italy will study Costa Rica's performance against Uruguay, they will be ready and won't allow surprise in this match. Italy are far more quality outfit, they are going to control this match from the very beginning. Costa Rica might have few bright moments today but I think that will be all. I expect Italy to win 2-0, 3-1.

LONG SHOT TOP TIP

Over 5.5 goals
Tipped at: 15.50 - 20th Jun 14:44
Small stakes for this big over. Italy is a clear offensive minded team in the last month, they have conceeded goals in each of their last 4 games. They have conceeded twice each from Denmark and Armenia, but their offence is able to score many goals with Pirlo in great form. They have won 2-1 against England, but they badly need to win here because they still have to play a tough game against Uruguay Costa Rica has impressed couple of days before, they have won 3-1 againt Uruguay and they have great chances to qualify playing in the last round against England, 99% out of this competiton. They don't have anything to lose, they know they cannot defend 90 minutes and with great morale they can put a lot of problems I like this odds

HIGHLIGHTED 1X2 TOP TIP

Italy to win 1st half
Tipped at: 7.45 - 20th Jun 00:15
The line is slightly out of wack here by about nearly 12% in favour of Costa Rica, as I'm sure everyone is going to be betting on Italy. Obviously this is a pretty volatile bet so the stake should be limited to two points. Can I see Costa Rica pulling off another shock result? Not really, but if Italy are complacent then who knows? The Costa Rica coach is talking up a good game and the team certainly doesn't seem to be lacking in confidence. I reckon the true odds of this bet is 6.67 so let's keep our fingers crossed that if Costa Rica do pull it off that Italy go on to win in the second half and keep English hopes alive ...

HIGHLIGHTED HANDICAP TOP TIP

Italy +0.50 (AH)
Tipped at: 2.79 - 20th Jun 04:16
Today I want to stake on Costa Rica +1/2 ball at odds of 2.78 for some resons bellow : Costa Rica is now on top of "The Death" groups after they made a big victory by beating Uruguay 3-1. The second match is facing Italy, who have same point after beating England 2-1. The Italian is not strong as they have before, facing attacking team they can control the match because of they are a good defense team. But when facing the weak team they always difficult to finding goal. In this match they are big favorite team as give one goal in asian handicap but I guess that if lucky they win with one goal and draw match is high potential. I choice Costa Rica to draw at this match and under 2 goal . Good luck my money.

HIGHLIGHTED OVER/UNDER TOP TIP

Under 2.5 goals
Tipped at: 1.95 - 20th Jun 09:42
I do not bet usually on overs/unders but this is a game that I particularly like about such a bet. Italy are usually a team that does not push hard against weaker opponents and considering the tight situation in the group I doubt they will be taking too much risks. Both these teams have won the first games and now a draw would suit them both. That is why I expect a cautious start from both teams and I don't think either of them will be rushing forward. Further, Italy has a really good defensive line and not many chances will be there for Costa Rica to exploit and to be honest, I can't see them scoring today. On the other hand if Italy scores first, I would expect them to sit back and wait for the final whistle to come and them claim the 3 points. I don't expect Costa Rica to rush forward if they concede for the simple reason that it will open too many spaces at the back which Italy could exploit and considering that this group may be decided by goal difference, I think Costa Rica will not risk conceding too much here.
