FIFA World Cup 2022, Germany vs Costa Rica - Match preview, head-to-head
The second match from Group E on Thursday, December 1st is between Germany and Costa Rica at Al Bayt Stadium -two teams that are battling for a spot in knockouts. Talking about the former winners, Germany, they have had a disappointing start to the tournament, losing their opener against Japan 1-2 in a shocking result. Their next outing against Spain didn’t fetch them extra points too as the game ended in a 1-1 draw. Now their only chance of qualifying for the knockouts is to beat Costa Rica and hope Spain beat Japan in their final match.
For Costa Rica to qualify, they surely have to beat Germany and wish for Spain to beat Japan. For a team that lost its first match 0-7 to Spain, it will require a lot of effort to go past the German challenge tonight.
