Japan vs Costa Rica

Odds

The football day will start with a game between Japan and Costa Rica at the Ahmad bin Ali Stadium.

The beginning of this World Cup for the Japanese turned out to be excellent. In the starting round, they managed to achieve a victory over Germany with a score of 2:1. Moreover, in this match, they managed to make a comeback.

While it seemed that the Germans completely controlled the course of the meeting, they unexpectedly let the Japanese side equalize the score in the last 15 minutes of the match. After that, they also conceded a goal and lost the game.

There are no superstars in Japan, but at the same time, there are many players who represent their clubs in the top championships. The main part is from the German Bundesliga (8 people). Of all their squad, Takumi Minamino can be noted as one who is playing well in Monaco. Not so long ago, he was in Liverpool and won the Premier League with them.

The current World Cup started disastrously for Costa Rica, and they lost devastatingly to Spain (0:7) without scoring any goal. In addition, they were without the ball for most of the match (possession 82-18% in favour of the Spaniards). After such a difference in goals scored and conceded, it will be difficult for Costa Rica to count on going to the playoffs, but there are still minimal chances.

The Samurai Blue are clinging to a chance to compete for a place in the playoffs, but to consolidate their success, they definitely need to beat the Costa Ricans.

Keylor Navas and the team have lost four of their last five matches at World Cups, and in the first round, they were destroyed by the bright Spanish team, having conceded seven goals. We believe that Japan will win this match convincingly.

Betting Tips for Japan vs Costa Rica

• Japan to Win @1.50
• Under 2.5 Goals @1.80
• Under 3.5 Corners for Costa Rica @1.55

Belgium vs Morocco

Odds

• Belgium 1.90
• Draw 3.50
• Morocco 4.00

 

In the second match of the day, Belgium will face Morocco at the Al Thumama Stadium in Doha. This is a pivotal game for both sides.

In the first round of the 2022 World Cup, Belgium had a very difficult match with Canada, which ended in their victory (1:0). This match did not start in the best way for Belgium, and in the 11th minute, Canada managed to win a penalty. However, Thibaut Courtois managed to deny the penalty kick from Alphonso Davies.

Towards the end of the second half, Belgium managed to bounce back in one of the few moments, and Michy Batshuayi opened the score. Belgium managed to hold back the attacks of Canada, and they maintained the score to their advantage.

It is questionable whether one of the team’s leaders, Romelu Lukaku, will play in this match. He missed the first game against Canada. The Inter forward is one of the main attacking forces, and he has massive importance for Belgium.

As part of the 2022 World Cup, Morocco now share second place with Croatia. The match ended in a 0:0 draw. The match itself turned out to be approximately equal in terms of created scoring chances. In possession, Croatia surpassed the opponent. The draw gave the Africans a good chance to get into the playoffs, and now if they take away points from Belgium, then the chances will increase even more.

If they are willing to score a goal, the attackers must play more accurately. Hakim Ziyech, who is a leader of the national team, should be more aggressive and convert his chances. Any small error can cost Morocco a lot.

Belgium literally stole the victory in the first round from the Canadians. The match raised a lot of question marks regarding Belgium’s potential. In general, Roberto Martinez’s team does not look in great shape. The leaders are getting older, and there is practically no new blood. The “Golden Generation” seems to be fading.

Despite the odds from bookmakers, we believe in the Moroccans here. Walid Regragui has a quality team both in terms of names and gameplay. The Moroccans, considering all tournaments, do not lose eight matches in a row, and a draw with the Croats is another confirmation that they are ready to compete with top rivals. We suggest taking Morocco not to lose.

Betting Tips for Belgium vs Morocco

• Morocco Not to Lose – 1.90
• Under 2.5 Goals – 1.80
• Morocco to Have Under 2.5 Yellow Cards – 1.55

Croatia vs Canada

Odds

• Croatia 2.05
• Draw 3.05
• Canada 3.70

 

The second match of Group F will see Croatia facing Canada at the Khalifa International Stadium. The runner-ups of the 2018 World Cup will try to defeat their North American counterparts.

The runner-ups of the 2018 World Cup started at the tournament in Qatar with a 0:0 draw. Croatia’s opponent in the first round was the national team of Morocco. In the presence of decent players in the line of midfield and attack, the teams delivered a rather boring match.

The teams had only two shots on target. In general, they did not create many chances against Morocco, and the draw was a deserved result for both of them. Luka Modric, winner of the Ballon d’Or, did not play at his best, which is pivotal if Croatia want to achieve success.

Canada started the tournament in Qatar with a defeat. The opponent in the first round was Belgium. The Canadians lost 0:1, conceding a goal in the 44th minute.

In the first half, the Canadians had a chance to score their first World Cup goal. The Bayern defender, Alphonso Davies, missed the penalty. The ball was sent into the corner of the goal, which Thibaut Courtois denied. However, we can note that the Canadians had a fairly strong match, making a total of 21 attempts. They only hit the goal 3 times.

If we take a look at the match more carefully, Roberto Martinez should be alarmed. His side looked completely lacklustre in the first half, even though they emerged as winners. At the same time, Eden Hazard, who looks like a shadow of himself, did not manage to do anything tangible.

It is reasonable to think that the class and experience of the Croatian national team will have an impact in the upcoming match, and we can expect them to defend reliably and score their winning goal. The Croats must grab three points because they will face the Belgium national team next. It will not be a repetition of the match against Morocco, as Canada have a different style. We think that Croatia will win this game.

Betting Tips for Croatia vs Canada

• Croatia to Win – 2.05
• Under 2.5 Goals – 1.85
• Croatia to Win 2:0 – 10.00

Spain vs Germany

Odds

The second match of Group E will see one of the classic matches of the World Cup: Spain will face Germany. Considering the names of these teams, we are going to have real entertainment at the Al Bayt Stadium.

Spain kicked off with the highest-scoring game of the World Cup win since 2010. The Spaniards scored seven goals against Costa Rica. The last time the score was 7:0 was in the match Portugal – North Korea.

Ferran Torres was under the spotlight as he scored a brace. Dani Olmo, Marco Asensio, Gavi, Carlos Soler and Alvaro Morata each scored a goal. Spain did not stop the attack throughout the match. 6 goals were scored in 90 minutes, and the 7th one was scored in stoppage time. From the first minutes, we saw that Spain would not allow the opponents any chances.

Germany have already made the task difficult for themselves to qualify from the group. The German national team started with a 1:2 loss to Japan. Germany opened the score in the first half with a penalty from City midfielder Ilkay Gundogan.

According to the number of chances created in the first half, the German team could score 2-3 goals. However, in the second half of the game, everything was different. The Japanese national team coach made the necessary changes. First, Ritsu Doan equalized the score, and then Takuma Asano gave an advantage to Japan.

The loss against Japan was the second in the last four games. Prior to this, the German team lost to Hungary 0:1.

One of the major blows for Germany will be losing a key player. Leroy Sane has a knee injury, and he is in doubt against Spain. So far, there are no injury concerns for Spain, and Luis Enrique will choose the same lineup.

Luis Enrique has been doing well lately. Before the World Cup, the Spaniards performed confidently in the group stage of the League of Nations, having suffered only one defeat in six rounds.

The start in Qatar was also successful. They won confidently against Costa Rica. Red Fury is now on the move and is deservedly considered one of the favourites of the World Cup. The Germans, on the other hand, have seen a clear decline: only three wins in the last ten matches. Two of them were over Israel and Oman.

We think that the Spaniards look more powerful. We take the Spanish side to win this encounter with the odds of 2.30.

Betting Tips for Spain vs Croatia

• Spain to Win – 2.30
• Under 2.5 Goals – 3.50
• Croatia to Win 2:0 – 3.00
