Japan is clearly favourite to win against Costa Rica. They had a great opening game and can wrap up the job with a win in this game. Japan has a better team and a bet on Japan to win is the best available option in this fixture.
Costa Rica and Japan clash at the Ahmed Bin Ali Stadium, Al Rayyan on Sunday in their second game of the FIFA World Cup.
Japan began their world cup campaign with a win over Germany. They came from behind to beat the Germans in one of the most surprising wins of the FIFA World Cup. Germany opened the scoring through Ilkay Gundogan but two second half goals from Ritsu Doan and Takuma Asano gave the Japanese all three points.
Hajime Moriyasu's team were very spectacular in the AFC World Cup qualifiers finishing one point behind Saudi Arabia. Japan recently beat the USA by two goals to nil and has been impressive this year. They can get all three points against a weak Costa Rica team.
Japan has been in good scoring form recently. They have scored five goals in their last four games in all competitions and have performed well against tougher teams. Japan has kept two clean sheets in their last four games and can shut out Costa Rica in this game.
Costa Rica had the worst start to the 2022 FIFA World Cup. They lost by seven goals to nil against Spain and look set for a group stage elimination. Costa Rica is the lowest ranked team in this group and Japan's squad is better than the Costa Rica national team.
Luis Suarez's team has lost two of its last four competitive games — a two nil loss against Panama in the World Cup qualifiers and the recent 7-0 defeat against Spain. They have not been great defensively. Costa Rica has conceded nine goals in the last three games, keeping one clean sheet.
Japan qualified for the knockouts of the last edition of the FIFA World Cup and were very close to eliminating Belgium. They have a better squad than Costa Rica and have won all two meetings against Costa Rica. Backing Japan to take all three points is the best available option in this fixture.

森康的球队在亚足联世界杯预选赛中表现非常出色，落后沙特阿拉伯1分。日本最近以2比0击败了美国，今年的表现令人印象深刻。他们可以在弱旅哥斯达黎加队的比赛中获得全部三分。
日本队最近得分状态不错。他们在最近的4场比赛中打进了5球，并且在对阵强队时表现出色。日本队在过去的四场比赛中保持了两场零封，他们可以在这场比赛中淘汰哥斯达黎加。
哥斯达黎加在2022年世界杯上的开局最差。在与西班牙的比赛中，他们以0比7的比分败北，小组赛被淘汰。哥斯达黎加是这个小组中排名最低的球队，日本队比哥斯达黎加国家队强。
苏亚雷斯的球队在最近的4场比赛中输掉了两场——在世界杯预选赛中0 - 2输给巴拿马，以及最近0 - 7输给西班牙。他们的防守不是很好。哥斯达黎加在过去三场比赛中丢了9球，有一场没有失球。
日本队进入了上一届世界杯的淘汰赛，并差点淘汰比利时。他们拥有比哥斯达黎加更好的阵容，并且在与哥斯达黎加的两场交锋中都取得了胜利。支持日本队全取三分是本场比赛的最佳选择。
