Analysis:
Spain had a perfect start to their FIFA World Cup 2022 campaign against Costa Rica as they registered a 7-0 victory. La Roja dominated their South American opponents in all departments while holding 88% possession. Defensively they didn’t allow the Ticos to take even a single shot at goal. They saw goals from across the field and would want to bring this same energy against Germany.
On the other hand, Germany had a terrible outing against an exciting Japanese team in their World Cup opener. Die Mannschaft played well in the first half but was outplayed in the second half. The Germans mainly struggled in the final third as the likes of Thomas Muller and Kai Havertz failed to find the back of the net.
