​

The2022 World Cup ‘s ‘Group of Death’ has not disappointed as Costa Rica and Germany find themselves bottom of Group E ahead of their final group clash at the Al-Bayt Stadium on Thursday. Spain and Japan currently hold a slight advantage in the group.

Costa Rica bounced back from a 7-0 mauling at the hands of La Roja with a 1-0 win over Japan, against whom the Germans had faced a shock 2-1 defeat in their opener before leaving it late to snatch a point from Spain in a 1-1 draw.

It’s a must-win game for Hansi Flick’s men with Germany needing a favour from Spain, while Luis Fernando Suarez will also hope for Japan to lose in case Costa Rica pick up only a point on Thursday.
