The immediate thing to consider for this match is should Costa Rica really be favourites to win? They beat a poor Uruguay side who were without Luis Suarez, then beat Italy in the heat who put up a shocking and laboured performance before seeing out a 0-0 draw against England’s second team who has already been eliminated.

Greece on the other hand make it through with a last minute penalty against Ivory Coast but they deserved that victory following a 0-0 draw with Japan, playing with 10 men for over 50 minutes. This all makes it difficult to oppose predicting Greece to beat Ivory Coast at 23/10 with Bet365. There is also value in backing Greece to qualify at 11/10 with Ladbrokes.

There is every chance this will be an ultra-cagey affair and under 2.5 goals looks a certainty but the odds of 2/5 won’t be making anybody rich so instead go for under 1.5 goals at odds of 6/4 with Paddy Power. A 0-0 draw is also not out of the question and that is just 6/1 with Ladbrokes.

For our main Costa Rica betting tip we are betting on Greece to qualify at odds of 11/10 but also having a punt on Greece to win the match in extra-time at 12/1 with Bet Victor. If the match goes as we predict it will be a low scoring draw and then Greece’s experience will shine through in extra time. The Greeks are always solid in defence and despite Costa Rica winning their group, they have hardly set the World Cup alight with their performances.
