Costa Rica vs Iran prediction
Costa Rica come into this one on the back of a dramatic 2-2 draw with Jordan as they fought back from 2-0 down to snatch. They have now won just one of their last ten matches.
They now face an Iran side that, under the management of Amir Ghalenoi, suffered a 2-1 defeat to Nigeria the other day. The Iranians were strong in qualifying but will not have steady preparations for this summer.
Iran have to be viewed as slightly the better side against Costa Rica but can't really be backed at the moment and so both teams scoring would appear a reasonable bet for this one.
Costa Rica vs Iran tip: Both teams to score
