More than 50% of those betting this World Cup matchup were backing the Ticos. Costa Rica was the biggest long shot to win the 2014 World Cup earlier in the month.
This will be the first ever meeting between Costa Rica and Greece.
Costa Rica have reached the knockout stages of the World Cup for only the second time in their history; the first was in 1990 when they eventually lost 4-1 against Czechoslovakia in the last 16.
The last team from CONCACAF to go further than the last 16 at the World Cup are the USA in 2002.
This is the first time that Greece have reached the knockout stages of the World Cup.
Greece’s seven wins at major tournaments have never been by more than one clear goal (four 1-0 and three 2-1 wins).
Greece have only won two of their nine World Cup games, both against African sides (v Nigeria in 2010 & Ivory Coast in 2014).
Greece have scored in only two of their nine games at the World Cup (the two 2-1 wins v Nigeria & Ivory Coast).
