LiontipsCosta Rica vs Germany. Prediction and Betting Tips for 2022 World Cup
Command Analysis
Costa Rica national team got devastated by Spain in the first World Cup game - they conceded seven unanswered goals, and it seemed that the team won't have a chance against other opponents. But in the second match, Luis Fernando Suarez'charges unexpectedly beat Japan (1:0).
Currently, Costa Rica are in 3rd place in Group E, and they still can qualify. Last time the North American side faced Germany was way back in 2006 - they lost with a score of 4:2. This time, a victory over Germany will guarantee Costa Rica a spot in the last 16. If Spain beat Japan, they only need a draw for a top-2 finish. Suarez's side will have to cope without Francisco Calvo.
Germany national team didn't qualify for the playoffs in the last World Cup, and they can repeat that disappointing result in Qatar. The DFB-Team haven't won a World Cup game since their triumph in Brazil in 2014. After a shocking defeat to Japan (1:2) in the first group game, Germany managed to get a 1:1 draw against Spain. Niclas Fullkrug's goal against Spain was the first goal scored by a German player who came on as substitute since Mario Goetze's goal in 2014.
Hansi Flick's team has been disappointing at this tournament, but they have superior quality to Costa Rica and should be able to overcome the North Americans. However, even a victory doesn't guarantee them a ticket to playoffs.
