Brazil vs Costa Rica Soccer Preview-Predictions
With the painful end to the last FIFA World Cup and finding a way to ride on a wave of expectation, Brazil did not get the all singing and dancing start to Russia 2018 that they were hoping for. While Costa Rica, on the other hand, clinging to the joyful moments and memories from four years ago did not get going as they would have hoped.
Brazil’s spark fizzled following the opening match against Switzerland. The team has been buoyed after the news that Neymar trained on Wednesday and have experienced some pain in his ankle the previous day.
There was always a chance of meeting those expectations for Costa Rica to run to the quarter-finals in Brazil. But Serbia only edged them with the sensational free-kick by Aleksandar Kolarov.
Did you know that Brazil has conceded in six consecutive World Cup games with Zuber’s strike?
Possible line-ups:
Brazil: Neymar, Gabriel Jesus, Thiago Silva, Miranda, Marcelo, Alisson, Danilo, Casemiro, Paulinho, Willian, Philippe Coutinho.
Costa Rica: Keylor Navas, Francisco Calvo, Cristian Gamboa, Celso Borges, David Guzman, Oscar Duarte, Johnny Acosta, Giancarlo González, Bryan Ruíz, Johan Venegas, Marco Urena.
