Spain vs. Costa Rica Bet Builder Tips: Goal & Assist combo makes appeal on Wednesday
Spain get their World Cup campaign underway on Wednesday and here at BettingOdds.com we’ve provided you with our best Bet Builder tips for the occasion.
Since they won the World Cup back in 2010, Spain have failed to reach the quarter-finals of the competition, and arrive in Qatar priced at 10/1 to repeat their triumph of 12 years ago. The bookmakers are predicting a comfortable win for Luis Enrique’s men in their opening game, with just 1/7 on show for those who fancy backing the win in the match result market.
Costa Rica have been given a tough draw by being placed in a group which includes Spain, Germany and Japan. However, some England fans will remember how Costa Rica beat Uruguay and Italy before taking a point against The Three Lions in 2014 to advance from the Group stages before being eliminated at the quarter-final stage by The Netherlands.
Bet365 go 10/1 for Costa Rica to make it to the knockout stages, with 20/1 on offer from the same firm for those who fancy the upset and the win over Spain.
Spain vs Costa Rica Bet Builder Tips
The first half of this Bet Builder for Spain against Costa Rica is for Ferran Torres to find the net anytime in the 90 minutes. For those looking to play the single, 6/4 is available with some firms at the time of writing.
No player scored more goals for Spain in World Cup qualifying than Ferran Torres who managed four goals in six appearances. In the Champions League for Barcelona this season, Torres has scored three goals in 188 minutes of football and with Spain predicted to put a few past Costa Rica, the 22-year-old looks one of the most likely prospects to find the net.
Paired with Ferran Torres to score, we are also backing Jordi Alba to provide an assist in the match. A winner of the European Championships with his national side back in 2012 and one of the older members of this current squad, the 33-year-old contributed more assists than any other player in qualification with four in four matches.
Betfair and Paddy Power go 11/4 as a single on this selection of the Alba anytime assist and with others such as Sky Bet going shorter at 6/4, this looks a decent price.
