Group E is a very open group before the final round. All four teams still have a chance to advance, but Germany at the same time depends on the result between Japan and Spain. If Germany beats Costa Rica at the same time as Spain beats Japan, advancement is assured for the Germans. However, if Japan picks up points, it will be a goal-difference story. For Costa Rica, victory is "enough" here, or you take points while Japan loses against Spain. Given that Spain is not play-off-ready yet, one should probably not hope too much for that. Costa Rica's center-back Francisco Calvo has received two yellow cards, and thus misses this match. This is a big blow for them as he is one of the best defenders on the team. The good news for Germany is Leroy Sane is back in the team after a knee injury and with him, Germany is a lot more dangerous team. With him, Hansi Flick can play his 4-2-3-1 formation with Gnabry-Musiala-Sane behind probably Thomas Muller. The team is clearly stronger than Costa Rica on paper and showed a good side against Spain. Even against Japan, they put in an ok effort but had the margins against them. Costa Rica was beaten by Spain, and here I think it will be a clear loss again. In that game, Costa Rica had 0 shots on target and 17% possession which is a catastrophic statistic. The -2.5 Asian handicap is a little bit high but I believe Germany has enough quality to win today 3-0 or 4-0.

E组在最后一轮之前是一个非常开放的小组。四支球队都有机会出线，但德国能否出线取决于日本和西班牙的比赛结果。如果德国在西班牙击败日本的同时击败哥斯达黎加，德国人就可以出线了。然而，如果日本队拿到积分，那将是一个净胜球的故事。对哥斯达黎加来说，在这里胜利就“足够”了，否则你就可以在日本输给西班牙的时候拿分。考虑到西班牙还没有准备好参加附加赛，人们可能不应该对此抱太大希望。哥斯达黎加的中后卫弗朗西斯科·卡尔沃吃到了两张黄牌，因此错过了这场比赛。这对他们来说是一个很大的打击，因为他是球队最好的后卫之一。对德国队来说，好消息是勒罗伊·萨内在膝伤后回归，有了他，德国队变得更加危险。有了他，汉斯·弗利克可以打4-2-3-1阵型，纳布里-穆西亚拉-萨内可能在托马斯·穆勒身后。从纸面上看，这支球队显然比哥斯达黎加强大，在对阵西班牙的比赛中表现出色。即使是对日本，他们也付出了不错的努力，但对日本有优势。哥斯达黎加被西班牙打败了，我认为这将是一次明显的失败。在那场比赛中，哥斯达黎加0次射正，17%的控球率，这是一个灾难性的数据。-2.5的亚洲弱项有点高，但我相信德国有足够的实力赢得今天的3-0或4-0。
