Serbia - Costa Rica Football prediction

Costa Rica put in a good showing in Brazil 4 years ago but little has come in the way of development since then and they look to be reliant on a very similar squad this time around and an ageing one at that. Their final two warm up games for this tournament saw them lose 0-2 to England and 1-4 against Belgium, a game in which they did take the lead. That goal is just 1 of 7 goals they have scored in their last10 games but 4 of those games has seen them fail to score. Serbia meanwhile have looked in much better shape. They have won 6 of their last 10 games (1D, 3L) and were 5-1 winners against Bolivia in their final warm up game. Aleksandar Mitrovic leads the line for Serbia and he is a big goal threat having netted 12 goals in 17 league appearances for Fulham this season and his hat-trick in Serbia’s last outing is a sure sign that he is in good form. Serbia should have enough to get past Costa Rica here and they are sided with here.
