England play their final friendly before the World Cup tonight as they take on Costa Rica in Orlando.
For Three Lions boss Thomas Tuchel, the match offers one last opportunity to fine-tune his side and settle on key combinations ahead of what promises to be a demanding World Cup campaign.Â
It’s also a valuable chance for the players to adapt to the hot and humid conditions expected throughout the tournament – a factor that has been widely discussed in the build-up to England’s bid for glory.
Unsurprisingly, England head into the contest as overwhelming favourites, with odds of just 1/10. Costa Rica are available at 12/1 to spring a major upset, while the draw is priced at 6/1.
England vs Costa Rica: Odds and boosts for the Three Lions’ final friendly before the WC
England were far from convincing in their previous outing, grinding out a drab 1-0 victory over New Zealand.Â
The question now is whether fans can expect another lacklustre performance tonight, or if the Three Lions will begin to hit their stride with their opening World Cup fixture just a week away. Only time will tell.
For those looking to get involved, there are also four Price Boosts available for the match.Â
The first backs Jude Bellingham to create two or more shots and has been enhanced to 11/10, while another sees Harry Kane backed to open the scoring at boosted odds of 3/1.
Elsewhere, Elliot Anderson to register three or more shots has been enhanced to 5/1, while the standout longshot requires Declan Rice to record at least one shot on target in each half, with that selection boosted to 12/1.
Regarding the available boosts, backing Kane to score first could prove popular. The England captain enjoyed another prolific campaign for Bayern Munich, scoring an impressive 61 goals across all competitions, and arrives in good form after netting the first and only goal in Saturday’s 1-0 victory over New Zealand.
