Switzerland takes on the visitors Costa Rica at “Nizhny Novgorod Stadium” in the last matchday of the 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia group stage. The game will be played in Nizhny Novgorod on Wednesday, June 27th.
Switzerland has more experience of performing at the major international tournaments as the side to the final round of last three Mundials, having reached Play Offs in two of them. Moreover, the Swiss haven’t lost more than one clash on the group stage in any of them which is quite an impressive result, isn’t it? Stability and experience beat talent and perspective at least at the major international football forums where the level of the engaged teams is simply extraordinary. Most of Switzerland’s footballers perform in the top national leagues while only few footballers of Costa Rica play on high level. The excellent team’s organization allowed the upcoming hosts to beat Serbia 1:2 and gain 1:1 draw against Brazil, thus, I believe that the Swiss will succeed in the closing tackle of the group stage.

Meanwhile, Costa Rica couldn’t repeat its magical performance which it did four years ago and has no even theoretical chances to promote further in the competition. Due to this, “Los Ticos” have no reasons to show the all strength in the forthcoming battle against extremely motivated Switzerland which in case of a triumph will probably qualify to the 1/8 final stage even from the first place in the group.
Switzerland conceded only three goals in the Europe’s Qualifiers Group stage for the 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia excluding the game against Portugal while in the current competition the side has already scored three goals in two encounters conducted which makes on average 1.5 goals per clash. In its turn, Costa Rica conceded in both encounters, having scored not a single goal in return: 0:1 and 0:2.
Prediction for the match: Switzerland to win and under 4.5 scored goals.
