Iraq vs Costa Rica PREDICTION & BETTING TIPS - 17/11/2022

Basra Sport City will host Thursday’s international friendly between Iraq and Costa Rica. The Iraqis missed out on a spot at the 2022 World Cup finals, but they did well to hold Ecuador to a goalless draw in their last warm-up game. Since Radhi Shenaishil’s troops are likely to adopt yet another defence-minded approach, a low-scoring affair is on the horizon. A man to watch in the home team will be Aymen Hussein, who has netted 11 goals in 55 appearances for the national team to date.

Los Ticos, on the other hand, are preparing for their World Cup opener against Spain, and there is every chance boss Luis Suarez will field the best possible side against Iraq. Veteran midfielder Bryan Ruiz should start from the bench, while former Arsenal striker Joel Campbell is widely expected to lead the line for the North American side. Anyhow, under 2.5 goals betting option should be considered as Costa Rica look solid at the back as well.
