Costa Rica vs Germany Preview
Surprisingly, Germany sits last in Group E with just one point to their name. In their first match of the season, they were defeated 2-1 by Japan, and Niclas Füllkrug’s goal in the 83rd minute helped them hold Spain to a 1-1 draw.
Germany needs to win this game in order to advance to the next round after their previous tie. They will also hope that Japan loses against Spain because if Spain wins, Germany is out of the contest.
Costa Rica will benefit from a draw but won’t be able to advance unless Japan loses against Spain. They will definitely qualify if they succeed.
Costa Rica vs Germany Prediction
Despite having a roster full of celebrities, Die Mannschaft hasn’t been able to reach its full potential. They have scored goals in all of their games to this point and ought to be able to keep up that scoring pace in this encounter.
The 2014 winners have had difficulty in recent World Cup contests, but they should be able to defeat Costa Rica, who has lost 10 of their last 11 encounters with European nations.
Germany 1-0 against Costa Rica
