Spain v Costa Rica prediction
It's hard to look past Spain against the likely strugglers in Costa Rica.
Luis Enrique has a wealth of talent to pick from and Spain's midfield and attack looks brilliant, even if their defence might be a little fragile.
Costa Rica will hardly cause Spain any problems defensively and it seems a question of how many will Enrique's men score.
