One of the most surprising teams of the firts round of the 2022 Qatar World Cup takes the field in order to face one of the most disappointing ones. Japan clashes against Costa Rica in the second round of Group E looking for a win that can mean the qualification to the next round of the tournament. Our suggestion for this game is for a home win.

Japan truly shocked the world in their first game of the tournamet, as they beat Germany by 2-1 after starting the game losing. The Japanese proved their personality in this game, where they played in a fantastic form and were able not only to resist the German attacks, but also to take advantage of their opportunities in order to score in the right moments to grab the three points.

Now they have an amazing opportunity before them. If they win this game and the Germans fail to do so against Spain, they would secure their qualification for the round of 16. This is the ideal scenario for the Asian team, that would have only their game against the Spanish, but it could only be to see who ends in the first spot.

In contrast, Costa Rica was a disappointment in their opener against Spain. There was nothing they could do in that game, that they ended losing by a hammering 7-0. Although they still have mathematic chances of advancing, they will truly have to change their form if they do not want to repeat their shameful first match.

2022年卡塔尔世界杯第一轮比赛中最令人惊讶的球队之一登场，面对的是最令人失望的球队之一。日本队将在E组第二轮迎战哥斯达黎加队，希望能赢得一场胜利，从而获得下一轮的资格。我们对这场比赛的建议是在主场取胜。

日本队在首场比赛中以2比1击败德国队，着实震惊了世界。日本队在这场比赛中证明了他们的个性，他们发挥出色，不仅能够抵抗德国人的进攻，而且能够利用机会在正确的时刻得分，拿到三分。

现在他们面前有一个绝佳的机会。如果他们赢得这场比赛，而德国人在与西班牙的比赛中未能取得胜利，他们将确保自己进入16强。对于这支亚洲球队来说，这是最理想的情况，他们只有和西班牙人的比赛，但这只能是看谁在第一名结束。

相比之下，哥斯达黎加在首场对阵西班牙的比赛中令人失望。在那场比赛中他们无能为力，最终以7:0惨败而告终。尽管他们在数学上仍然有晋级的机会，但如果他们不想重复第一场耻辱的比赛，他们真的必须改变他们的状态。
