Costa Rica vs. Germany Prediction

• Where: Al Bayt Stadium, Al Khor, Qatar
• When: Thursday, December 1, 10 pm local time

There is no option for Germany, the four-time World champs, but to win this event and with three points, advance to the next stage. The Ticos need to see Spain beat Japan in the other game of the group, and they are through with a draw here. Costa Rica miraculously came back against the Japanese unit, scoring a goal in the middle of the rival’s great offensive. Die Mannschaft was on the ropes, but they got back against Spain, winning a point and saving an opportunity to reach the Round of 16.

Costa Rica vs. Germany Preview

Costa Rica

The way Ticos beat Japan could be described in boxing as a lucky punch that KOd the rivals. Keyser Fuller netted with nine minutes to go, during Japan’s heavy pressure. The Samurai were after a win, and overall, the statistics were undoubtedly on their side.

However, a tough defense, followed by a fanatic battle and approach of the Ticos, eventually earned them a fantastic victory. The CONCACAF team was defending throughout the entire 90 minutes, and in the end, luck was on their side.

The Ticos have only two defeats in the last 10 games, with one draw and six wins. Many people forgot that following a 7-0 disaster against the Spaniards.

Germany

This isn’t Die Mannschaft we used to see in the past. Rudiger’s mocking of the Japanese players while leading is clear proof for our hypothesis. We never saw that in the past, when Germany won various titles and was the elite of world football.

Apart from beating Oman in the friendly international, 0-1 before the start of the World Cup, Germany has just one more victory in the last 10 games, with two losses and two draws. 

The defensive unit was a major problem for Hansi Flick, conceding in nine of those ten contests. So much about Rudiger’s confidence. Germany was vulnerable against Spain as well, but they only got away with only one allowed goal.

Costa Rica vs. Germany Head to Head 

Germany opened the World Cup in 2006, hosted by them, with a win over Costa Rica, 4-2. Many still remember that encounter, because of several very attractive goals.

Costa Rica vs. Germany Prediction

This is a gift from heaven for Germany, who was practically out of the World Cup at one point during the game against Spain. We have to bet on the Germans, who must utilize the current situation and avoid another disastrous World Cup episode. 

Our verdict: Germany wins
