Switzerland vs Costa Rica Soccer Preview-Predictions
We all witnessed the exceptional resilience that Switzerland has demonstrated at the 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia. Comprising last-gasp victory over Serbia and their draw against Brazil, in both fixtures to date Die Nati have managed a way back into the game despite having gone a goal down.
Now Switzerland’s side is beginning their final Group E fixture in a game against Costa Rica, and a draw is all they need to secure a place in the Round of 16. Vladimir Petkovic’s team of players has history on their side. Switzerland has never lost to a CONCACAF nation at the world’s premier tournament, which means on each of the two previous occasions that the teams met, the Central Europeans have emerged victorious.
Los Ticos will be doing their utmost to avoid returning home with empty hands, even their hopes of advancing to the second phase have already been dashed. Everything changed since they lost from Serbia by just a single goal and holding firm until stoppage time against Brazil, their defensive solidity which is built upon Keylor Navas’s foundations is already beyond reproach.
Possible line-ups:
Switzerland: Xherdan Shaqiri, Blerim Dzemaili, Steven Zuber, Stephan Lichtsteiner, Fabian Schar, Manuel Akanji, Ricardo Rodriguez, Valon Behrami, Granit Xhaka, Mario Gavranovic, Yann Sommer.
Costa Rica: Celso Borges, David Guzman, Bryan Ruiz, Christian Bolanos, Johnny Acosta, Giancarlo Gonzalez, Oscar Duarte, Bryan Oviedo, Cristian Gamboa, Marco Urena, Keylor Navas.
