ENG vs CRC Dream11 MATCH PREVIEW:

England will be aiming for a big statement performance against Costa Rica as they finish their quota of warm-up games ahead of the World Cup.

The Three Lions will be returning to the Elland Road for the first time in 16 years with the Leeds United set to earn a six-figure sum for hosting this fixture and expect to earn more from commercial partners.

In the first game, England played quite an attacking football against Nigeria, especially in the first half where they could have scored four or five goals. It was a departure from the normal tactics of defending-first that Gareth Southgate uses against the teams. But that performance at the Wembley showed that the English team will be one of the dark horses in Russia.

The game against Costa Rica also brings some bad memories for players who were the part of the squad played in Brazil four years ago. The Los Ticos drew 0-0 against the 1966 World Champions and topped the group ahead of Uruguay, Italy, and England. So revenge would be playing in few selected player’s minds when they come out on to the pitch before they catch the flight to Russia.

Thanks to goals from Venegas, Campbell, and Calvo, Costa Rica started their preparations in a dream fashion as they thumped Northern Ireland 3-0 in their last game. But their overall form is a cause for concern for head coach Óscar Ramírez as his team has won just twice int he last 8 games, while also losing four times in the last six heading into this match.

Despite England not losing a game against Costa Rica, the hosts have been tagged as underdog in this match. This could be because of the contrasting form of both the teams- England haven’t won in six while Costa Rica are unbeaten in the last four.
