🔍 Key Stats

Form: England averaging 1.56 goals scored at home but model-adjusted xG of 4.5 given ELO gap; Costa Rica away form inconsistent with only 1 away goal on average vs top sides
H2H: England won 2-0 in 2018, drew 0-0 in 2014 — historically tight but ELO gap has grown significantly since
Stakes: Pre-tournament friendly, England will want to build momentum and confidence with full squad available
Betting: a clean sheet for one side, over 2.5 goals — in line with the projected 3-0.

⚔️ Head to Head

Only 2 meetings — England win 2-0 in 2018 and a 0-0 draw in 2014. Historical pattern is low-scoring but the ELO gap has grown by several hundred points since those fixtures, making a dominant England performance far more likely now.
