In nearly every facet of the game, Switzerland holds the edge. So between the opponent, mixed with the fact that a win guarantees progression, take the safe bet in Switzerland.
Although Costa Rica’s offense has been anemic, its defense has not been totally porous. In a 2-0 loss to Brazil, Costa Rica surrendered both goals in second-half stoppage time and it conceded just one goal to Serbia. So even though Switzerland holds the edge in term of the potential result, the under is a safer selection here.
