Ecuador vs Costa Rica: betting tip (cf 2.02) and bets on the friendly match

Top bets from an expert

Command Analysis

After the last World Cup, Marcelo Guillardo was appointed head coach of Ecuador. Under his leadership, the national team played three matches and did not succeed in any of them, losing in turn to South Korea, Japan and Panama. In 270 minutes of playing time, we managed to score only one goal. Starting at the coaching post of the national team is clearly not a success.

Costa Rica played two CONCACAF Nations League matches in October, and in those matches it turned out to win first against Nicaragua (3:0), and then against Haiti (2:0). It is impossible not to notice that such results were achieved thanks to Brian Ruiz, who led the national team. Before his arrival, there was a series of seven winless matches. The upcoming opponent is much stronger than the previous opponents, but the Costa Ricans began to play much more confidently.
Tip and bets
We will not argue with the bookmakers that Ecuador is the favorite, but at the moment the hosts are far from their ideal form, and the only goal scored in three meetings with the new head coach perfectly confirms this. Costa Rica, on the other hand, has noticeably improved in terms of play and has been charged with positive emotions thanks to victories in two extreme games. We believe that Ecuador will not have total superiority, and the visitors will not lose by a margin of more than one goal.
Our betting tip is an Asian handicap (+1.5) for Costa Rica with a coefficient of 2.05
