confidence<\/p>\n<\/div><p class=\"mux-lineup-narrative\">Both sides line up in a <strong>4-2-3-1<\/strong> formation, setting up a mirror contest at Wembley. England's shape places <strong>Jude Bellingham<\/strong> in the attacking midfield role behind Harry Kane, with Declan Rice anchoring the double pivot and Bukayo Saka providing width on the right flank.<\/p><p class=\"mux-lineup-narrative\">Costa Rica will look to sit compact and frustrate England's transitions, with Manfred Ugalde tasked with leading the line largely in isolation. For Gareth Southgate's successor, this friendly offers a final opportunity to sharpen combinations ahead of the World Cup, and the XI selected suggests a clear intent to test the first-choice system.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Our Verdict<\/h2><p>England's home win at <a class=\"mux-odd mux-odd--link\" href=\"https:\/\/thefootballfaithful.com\/betting-news\/go-williamhill-prono-gb-en\" rel=\"nofollow noopener sponsored\" data-m=\"x_england_costa-rica_19665891\" data-b=\"williamhill.com\" data-t=\"home\">1.14<\/a> is the standout selection here. The Three Lions boast a perfect head-to-head record in competitive and friendly fixtures against Costa Rica, winning or drawing all three previous meetings. Thomas Tuchel's side welcome back key figures in Rice, Saka, and Madueke, giving this lineup genuine first-choice quality. Costa Rica's recent form tells its own story: three matches without a win, including a 3-1 loss to Colombia that exposed clear defensive frailties. The class gap is simply too wide.
