For the 3rd matchday of the 5th group of the World Cup, Costa Rica will face Germany.
Costa Rica reacted after the crash of the premiere, in the 2nd match of the group, they beat Japan 1-0. She did not impress with her performance in a match with few phases, she had a passive role for most of the match, but she had absolute accuracy in her only phase in the replay (81') and took the valuable three points.
So Costa Rica remained within the qualification trap but to succeed he is looking for the breakthrough as he needs a win today against Germany while in the event of a draw, he wants Spain to beat Japan in the other group match.
Germany after the opening loss to Japan he aimed at least not to lose in the 2nd game against Spain and he succeeded. It drew 1-1 in a match that had a passive role in the first hour, she fell behind in the score in the 62', but in front of the specter of defeat, she raised her performance and was vindicated in the 83' when she equalized.
With this point, Germany stayed within the qualification zone, combined with Japan's loss to Costa Rica, and now in order to continue in the round of 16 of the competition, he needs a victory tonight and at the same time a victory for Spain to pass as 2nd in the group. If Japan draw against Spain then Germany will need to beat Costa Rica by at least two goals to finish second. If they have won by one goal they will need to have scored more goals in the group than Japan in order to qualify against them.
Germany went so far as to play their qualification game in the final group match but after staying in the bay after the opening defeat then they will hardly let the opportunity go to waste. Costa Rica, no matter how hard they fight, will have a hard time against Flick's team, even if they go full defensive in the match. I think that Germany will look for the breakout to win with many goals.
Tip: Costa Rica - Germany 2nd / 2nd & Over 3,5 goals with an odds of 2.95
