The team also has a good midfielder in Arevalo Rios. Uruguay is well aware that they can\u2019t afford to take this game lightly against Costa Rica. \u201cThey\u2019ve got players in Europe, they\u2019ve really come on and they\u2019ve been a tough nut for us to crack in the last few years. They almost stopped us from getting to South Africa\u201d (2010). Muslera said.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Costa Rica<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The team will be without Alvaro Saborio and Bryan Oviedo but they still have Bryan Ruiz who is an attacking midfielder.\u00a0 Since the team doesn\u2019t have much offensive firepower they will rely upon a defense that allowed just seven goals in 10 qualifying matches.\u00a0 They really need goalkeeper Keylor Navas to steal a point or two. It would also help if they can get something out of Joel Campbell and Christian Bolanos.<\/p>\n<p><strong>World Cup Picks<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Uruguay should have too much for Costa Rica in this game on Saturday so I will lay the price in World Cup betting odds and expect a solid win for Uruguay.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>World Cup Betting Odds:\u00a0 Group D action takes place on Saturday with Costa Rica taking on Uruguay.\u00a0 The favorite to win Group D is Italy but just barely as Uruguay is a close second choice.\u00a0 England should also be in contention while Costa Rica is a longshot.\u00a0 Uruguay is more than a 2-1 favorite on [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":1844,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[40],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-1843","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-soccer"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.0 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>World Cup Picks \u2013 Uruguay Favored vs. Costa Rica on Saturday on ABC<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Uruguay is favored against Costa Rica on Saturday in Group D action.
