Bookmaker-Ratings expert Emmanuel Adebayor has made his prediction for Sunday’s FIFA World Cup Group E match between Japan and Costa Rica.
Japan stunned Germany as they came back from behind to beat Hansi Flick’s side 2-1 in their opening World Cup 2022 match.
Germany controlled the ball in the first half, but Hajime Moriyasu’s clever substitutions helped his team turn around the game and beat the four-time world champions. If Spain beats Germany, they will have a great chance to qualify.
As for Costa Rica, Spain tore them to pieces in the World Cup opening fixture.
They were humiliatingly defeated 7-0 by Luis Enrique’s side. If they wish to reclaim their dignity, they must triumph against Japan.
My prediction? I think after beating a strong team like Germany, Japan will come into this game with more confidence. I’m pretty sure they will secure victory in this match too. I will go 2:0 for Japan in this encounter.
