With two Latin American teams facing up against each other this game favours attack. The odds on both teams to score are 13/8 with William Hill and that is our first football tip on the match given that Uruguay’s defence is not the best and may be vulnerable.

Costa Rica are perhaps an unknown team to us with the only real player of note Fulham's Bryan Ruiz who did not exactly excel for the relegated Cottagers this season. He did however perform well on a half-season loan with PSV Eindhoven and will hope to bring that form with him to this match. He is 5/1 with Bet Victor to score any time in the match and 14/1 with Paddy Power for the first goal.

Uruguay's strike force really needs no introduction and is potentially the deadliest in the world. Liverpool's Luis Suarez and Paris St. Germain's Edison Cavani scored over forty goals between them this season. They are supported by Diego Forlan also so there is good reason why Uruguay are dark horses to win the World Cup itself. Looking for a Uruguay v Costa Rica betting tip for first goalscorer Luis Suarez is 3/1 with Sky Bet for the first goal and 8/11 with Sky Bet to score anytime. Cavani is 4/1 with Bet365 for the first goal and 7/5 with Bet365 to score anytime. Suarez may not be risked for the match following his injury and minor surgery on his knee so go with Edison Cavani to score first at 4/1 with Bet365.

So expect goals in this match with both teams looking to do well in the tournament. Unfortunately for Costa Rica they appear to be this group's whipping boys and goal difference could well come into it for qualifying out of the group. Goals scored against Costa Rica then will be likely to count for a lot so Uruguay will want to get off to a strong start here. Costa Rica will not welcome that tag but must accept it and although will try to cause an upset here we cannot see anything beyond a Uruguay victory. Our correct score betting tip for Uruguay v Costa Rica is a 3-1 Uruguay win which is available at 16/1 with Coral.
