Spain striker Diego Costa 5/4 to score anytime against Netherlands

Competition: World Cup
Market: Diego Costa to score anytime
Odds: 5/4 @ Ladbrokes

Spain are expecting to beat Netherlands again, who they last played in the 2010 World Cup final to win the tournament. Both squads have changed considerably since, but Spain remain the favourites to win against the Oranje.

And their newly adopted striker Diego Costa could be the man who successful spearheads the Spain attack to great effect. Ladbrokes are giving odds of 5/4 for the Atletico frontman to score against the Netherlands, with the Brazilian-born goal machine having enjoyed a fantastic 2013/14, netting 35 goals in the league and Europe.

Spain aren’t being fancied to retain their World Cup this summer due to it being in Brazil’s back yard, but they are still expected to get through their group and into the latter stages.

Now they have a genuine natural striker in Costa, Spain should be able to break down sides much easier than before. Netherlands perhaps peaked in 2010, so aren’t expected to go too far this time around.
