1. Costa Rica v Northern Ireland Odds Preview
Costa Rica come into this match looking to bounce back from a 1-0 defeat in their previous friendly match against Tunisia in March. Having defeated Scotland away from home 1-0 just a few days earlier, Costa Rica were aiming to make it two wins in a row but slumped to defeat.
The win over Scotland is Costa Rica’s only victory in their last 7 matches and they need to get back to winning ways ahead of tough matches against England and Belgium before the World Cup. However, despite recent defeats, the Costa Rica vs Northern Ireland odds at 1XBET favour the home team and Costa Rica are 1.97 to win the match.
Northern Ireland started their summer friendly program with a 0-0 draw in Panama. It was a good result away from home and sets them up nicely for this match in Costa Rica. Northern Ireland come into the match unbeaten in their last 3 games, including two draws away from home and while they are the outsiders to win the game at 4.06, you can get 3.40 on the draw.

2. Costa Rica vs Northern Ireland Prediction
Recent matches featuring both teams have shown how they like to set-up and play. Neither have any world class players of note but the players on each side come together as a team make themselves very difficult to beat.
This match could go much the same way as Northern Ireland’s recent game in Panama, so do not expect to see many goals. In fact, it wouldn’t be a surprise to see this game end in a 0-0 draw and that’s available at 9.30 with 1XBET.
However, Costa Rica have scored in 6 of their last 7 home games and they will want to respond to the loss against Tunisia in-front of their own fans. This will be their final game at home before travelling and one goal could be enough to seal the win.
You can get 3.50 at bet365 for Costa Rica to win the match by 1 goal.
All the World Cup 2018 friendly games are being shown live on TV but you also can find some of the fixtures transmitted by the bookies. Look for Costa Rica vs Northern Ireland live streaming at bookmakers including 1Xbet, William Hill and bet365.
