On Thursday, Costa Rica will play Germany at the Al Bayt Stadium in their third and crucial group stage matchup for the 2022 FIFA World Cup. After a 1-0 victory over Japan in their previous match, Costa Rica maintained their hopes of qualifying.
In the 81st minute, Keyser Fuller scored the match-winning goal. After Spain’s 7-0 defeat in their season opener, they came back strongly. With only one point to their name, Germany is surprisingly at the bottom of Group E.
In their first match of the campaign, they lost 2-1 to Japan, and they held Spain to a 1-1 draw thanks to Niclas Füllkrug’s goal in the 83rd minute. In order for Germany to advance to the next round, they must win this match after the draw. They will also want Japan to lose to Spain because if they win, Germany will lose.

Costa Rica vs Germany Prediction :
In these two games, the Los Ticos have made only one shot on goal and only one goal scored. In recent games, they have failed to score, and they may also fail to do so in this one. The star-studded Die Mannschaft team has failed to live up to its potential.
They have scored in both of their games thus far, and in this match, they should be able to maintain that scoring streak. Although the 2014 champions have struggled in their most recent World Cup matches, they should be able to defeat Costa Rica, who have lost 10 of their last 11 World Cup matches against European teams.
Prediction: Costa Rica 0-1 Germany
