Costa Rica v Germany Odds – Last Chances for the Germans

Costa Rica will go up against Germany on 1 December. After the first group stage matches, they’re both in the relegation zone. However, the situation is much worse for the Costa Ricans as they’re behind by 7 on goal difference. The majority of Costa Rica v Germany odds favor the latter by 90% and so do we. Things have shaken up a bit since the start of the tournament so you might want to take a look at our 2022 World Cup betting guide.

Germany outplayed Japan in every statistical category but defense. Shuichi Gonda saved 8 of the 9 shots that were on target. While the outcome was unexpected, we don’t think Germany will commit the same mistakes. Spain pulled no punches against Costa Rica in a humiliating 7-0 match. Luis Enrique’s set the tone early for Group E and there’s not much hope left for Costa Rica.

Costa Rica and Germany only met once, in the 2006 World Cup where the Germans won 4-2. Most of the lineup has changed for both teams since then. Even after their loss against Japan, we’re expecting Germany to win this game with ease. While we don’t think this will be a 7-goal game, the total number of goals should be close to 4, so taking an over 3.5-goal bet would be appropriate.

Additionally, there’s a chance of both teams scoring with the final score being 3-1 for Germany. Seeing their mistakes against Japan, Germany’s defense may still have holes when they face Costa Rica. People can expect to see Havertz, Gnabry, or even Müller on the scoresheet.
