Online Odds: Bovada has Netherlands -1 (-120) and Costa Rica +1 (EVEN)

One of the hardest to predict Quarterfinals matches of this years World Cup is Costa Rica vs the Netherlands. On one hand, Costa Rica has been the Cinderella of the World Cup. Defeating Italy and Uruguay in group play, then drawing with England to win a very tough group outright. They followed up with a hard fought victory over Greece in the Round of 16, but they looked less spectacular than 2 weeks ago.

Holland, on the other hand, has been powerful, yet inconsistent. They roared out of the gates with a 5-1 slaughter of defending champions Spain. They rallied to beat the Aussies and finished off their group in 1st place. However, they were just 5 minutes away from falling to Mexico 1-0 in the Round of 16. Finally in the 88th minute, they put in the equalizer. And before heading to extra time, they earned a penalty kick to take the outright victory 2-1 in shocking fashion.

Expect this game to play similarly to Mexico vs Holland. However, Costa Rica doesn’t have the experience and poise of Mexico, and they are more likely to fall under the heavy pressure of Netherlands attack.
