England – Costa Rica Tip World Cup 2026 test match on Wednesday, 10.06.26 at 22:00
A good England Costa Rica tip is not to place your money carelessly on the “Three Lions”. Because at odds of just 1.12, this is simply not worth the risk after their very disappointing performance against New Zealand!
With the selection of victory Costa Rica with HC +3 at more than fair odds of about 1.50, on the other hand, I agree. The multiple World Cup participant from Central America is not part of the game this time, but still has an interesting line-up!
Against New Zealand, by the way, England had an indisputable xG value of only 1.49 and personally I don’t see them at the top in the race for the overall World Cup victory in 2026 despite their immense potential.
And in their last test game against the Ticos on Wednesday evening, I now expect that my suspicions will only be further substantiated!
England vs. Costa Rica AI Predictions:
Shortly before the start of the World Cup, I did some research with our IT department and obtained an independent England Costa Rica AI forecast with useful suggestions.
For me, the recommendation to put a bet on both teams to score at values around 2.05 to the test was definitely usable. Because the Central Americans, who are by no means harmless, already put up a tough fight against Colombia a few days ago (1:3).
I still don’t see them scoring more than one goal against England, but this one goal is by no means as unlikely as the 2026 World Cup bookmakers have expressed by means of their England Costa Rica odds.
Predicted chance of winning:

If you also have little faith in the Three Lions, then England to win both halves: No to 1.62 could be another nice choice to add extra depth to your bet slip.
Thomas Tuchel’s team have not managed to score a goal in both halves of the game in any of their last four international matches – let alone win them both! Especially against New Zealand, Japan or Albania, they should have shown much more.
Finally, I would recommend a bet on 1st goal: Costa Rica – but preferably with the help of a free bet. But at odds of around 5.30 and in view of the growing criticism of the British, I would not be shocked if they were caught cold on Wednesday!
What you need to consider when betting on England vs. Costa Rica
- Last duel (07 June 2018): England won a World Cup Test in Leeds 2-0 with goals from Marcus Rashford and Danny Welbeck.
- The World Cup drama (24 June 2014): At the World Cup in Brazil, the two teams drew 0-0 in the group stage – a historic point that gave Costa Rica a sensational group win over England at the time.
- The worm is inside: England have not scored in either half of their last four international matches and have only scored a maximum of one goal in the last three!
- Evergreen in the attack: Harry Kane has scored a total of five goals in his last four international appearances for England.
