Match Preview
| England play Costa Rica for only the second time in history, as both teams warm-up for the World Cup (WC) in what is their final opportunity to test players and tactics before the tournament in Russia begins. |
| Gareth Southgate’s (ENG) side come into this match off the back of a 2-1 win at Wembley against a feisty Nigerian team, which extended their unbeaten run to nine matches (W6, D3), and they will be the big favourites yet again. |
| Costa Rica have only won twice in their last eight games (W2, D2, L4), but this includes a 3-0 hammering of Northern Ireland on Sunday which should boost their self-belief coming into this encounter. Notably, the Costa Ricans had 21 efforts on goal compared to the Northern Irish’s three which highlighted the gulf in class on the day. |
| The sides met for the first time in Brazil during the WC finals in 2014, which ended in an infamously dull 0-0 and condemned England to a surprise last place finish in group D. Costa Rica however, qualified top and went on to reach the quarter-finals after an excellent tournament. |
| Players to watch: Newly-appointed England captain Harry Kane (13 international goals) scored against Nigeria and will be looking to maintain momentum going into the WC. |
| Veteran Costa Rica captain Bryan Ruiz has a record of 23 goals in 101 appearances for his country and should be the main threat to England. |
| Stat attack: England have managed six clean sheets in their run of nine unbeaten. |
| Costa Rica have scored five and conceded seven in their last six matches. |
| England are undefeated for over two years (13 matches) on home soil. |
| Just one of Costa Rica’s last six matches has ended with both sides scoring (BTTS). |
| England have been behind at half time just once in their last 18 games. |
