World Cup Focus: England vs Costa Rica Preview
After their narrow win over New Zealand on Saturday, England will travel across Florida to the Inter&Co Stadium for their final World Cup warm-up fixture versus Costa Rica. This will be Thomas Tuchel’s final opportunity to assess who should be in his starting XI for England’s first World Cup group-stage game next week.
England vs Costa Rica
England will be looking for a more fluid performance than Saturday’s 1-0 win as they begin to acclimatise to the conditions that they will face throughout their World Cup summer. Tuchel will likely avoid the mass half-time changes he opted for at the weekend as he looks to give his key players as many minutes as possible before England’s first group game versus Croatia next Wednesday.
The Arsenal trio of Declan Rice, Bukayo Saka and Noni Madueke have joined up with the England camp and Saka, who has often excelled for his country on the big stage, is 11/8 to score anytime with CopyBet.
Each of England’s last 12 victories have been to nil, last conceding in a victory back in October 2024, and they are 13/20 with CopyBet to win to nil here. Unsurprisingly, Harry Kane got England’s first and only goal versus New Zealand and the Bayern Munich marksman is 13/5 with CopyBet to be first on the scoresheet in England’s third ever match versus Costa Rica.
