Japan take on the visitors Costa Rica in the round 2 match of group stage of FIFA World Cup 2022. The match will be played on Sunday, November 27th at Ahmad bin Ali Stadium (Al Rayyan).
The victory over Germany opens the way for the Japanese team to the playoffs of the World Cup. To maintain a good chance of reaching this stage of the tournament, and in principle to complete the task by about 75-80%, they need to beat Costa Rica. Everything is in the hands of the "blue samurai" themselves. The Japanese national team has suffered only one defeat in their last seven matches. But there were four victories ones. The “blue samurai” approach the tournament in Qatar in a great mood and in great shape. The strong-willed victory over Germany only illustrates this.

Costa Rica have made such a depressing impression in the first round of the group stage of the World Cup. Costa Rica fell apart in the match against Spain. It was not just a crushing defeat, but also one of the most striking failures in the recent history of the World Cup. The 0-7 defeat is marred by zero attempts or shots on goal and 18% of possession. In this form as it is now, the Costa Rica team will lose all three matches at the World Cup in Qatar.
In 2002, in 2014 and 2018, the national teams of Japan and Costa Rica met each other three times in friendly matches. After a draw before the home world championship, then the "blue samurai" beat Costa Rica twice in a row. And both times they did it with an advantage of several goals, breaking the bet on the handicap (-1.5) of the goal. Of course, the Japanese who have caught the courage should beat the Costa Rica team without any problems, which objectively has one of the weakest squads at the 2022 World Cup. We count on Japanese team with -1 handicap.
Prediction for the match: Japan to win with -1.0 handicap.
