On Friday, 2 December, at 3 o'clock, Germany will face Costa Rica, the last opponent of the group. Japan's 1-0 defeat to Costa Rica in the second round of the group made the emergence of Group E even more confusing.
Japan two games 3 points, so that Group E is completely messed up, Costa Rica two games 3 points, Spain drew Germany in the second round, took 4 points, can basically qualify, Spain with a goal difference advantage can basically get the first place in the group, 16 strong probability will meet Croatia, Modric is 37 years old, past the peak of his career. There is a high probability that it will beat Croatia to reach the last eight. 8 Strong probability will meet Brazil. It's a bit far, and we'll discuss it later against Brazil.
Germany currently has one point to score, Costa Rica must win in the third round of the group, and Spain will not lose to Japan, and if Spain and Japan draw, Germany must win Costa Rica by more than 2 goals to qualify. But Japan has a lower probability of beating Spain. So Germany actually has a 60% probability of appearing second in Group E. 16 strong probability may match Group F first Belgium (high probability). Germany is the team that has participated in the most World Cup finals, (only in the 2018 group did not qualify, losing 0-1 to Mexico and 0-2 to South Korea.) ) surpassed the five-star Brazil, which means that their performance in the World Cup knockout stage is relatively stable.
Costa Rica's best result was the last eight of the 2014 World Cup, losing to the Netherlands on penalties in the round of four. The second round of this World Cup match against Japan, in the general unfavored situation, defeated Japan. At present, there is also a theoretical chance to qualify from the group, as long as the victory over Germany can qualify. So I will also go all out.
Therefore, in this game, Germany must win this match in order to qualify, and at least 2 goal difference goals (a prerequisite for Spain not to lose). Similarly, if Costa Rica loses this game, it will go home, and it will also have to fight to qualify. So the scene should be very exciting. On paper, Germany is slightly stronger. But in terms of morale, Costa Rica is slightly stronger (just beat Japan). So the score predicts 3-0, 2-1, 1-0, 1-1, 0-1. But anything is possible. Let's look forward to a great game.
