Khalifa International Stadium
Preview
Japan had the great opportunity to qualify for the round of 16 against Costa Rica. Now after the 0:1 defeat it looks very bad for Japan. Now you have to get at least one point against the great Spain and also hope for the secondary results. Spain, on the other hand, a draw is enough to qualify for the round of 16. However, it is clear that the Spaniards will play to win so that they can be sure of winning the group. Costa Rica and Germany also have chances to qualify and it will be a very exciting affair in this group. It currently looks like Spain and Germany are clear favorites for qualifying. Can Japan trip Spain up and cause another sensation? We are already very excited to see the outcome of these games!
