In my opinion Japan is clear favorite of this game and should be able to make comfortable win with at least 3 goals difference. -2.5 AH looks like really good option to play.

In first match Japan won 5:0 against Zambia. It’s impressive result. Zambia just before the World Cup won against Germany, but still was completely outplayed. Japanese team showed huge firepower – scored 5 goals from 25 shots, created a lot of big chances to score and had also 2 disallowed goals. They coming for this game full of confidence and they wants to continue what they started in first game and secure their place in next round.

Atmosphere in Costa Rica team is not good. Team captain defensive midfielder Shirley Cruz (+100 matches in National team) not playing in this competition because she had some argue with manager. Two other key players from the back – goalkeeper Bermudez and defender Rodriguez also not playing because stayed behind Cruz. Missing of those 3 players is huge blow for Costa Rica defensive formation and that was visible in first match against Spain. Costa Rica lost 0:3, but that should be much higher loss: Spain had 80% ball possession and finished that game with 46 (!!!) shots. Costa Rica had only one…

Japanese looked very creative with very sharp finishing product. They have all required tools to simply demolish Costa Rica defensive formation. Team in-form with big confidence against depleted team with bad atmosphere. I can imagine only one scenario here – big win for Japan! Minimum 3-4 goals for Japan here in my opinion.

在我看来，日本队显然是这场比赛的热门，他们应该能够以至少3球的差距轻松获胜。-2.5 AH看起来是个不错的选择。

在第一场比赛中，日本队以5:0战胜赞比亚。这是令人印象深刻的结果。赞比亚在世界杯前战胜了德国，但仍然被完全击败。日本队表现出了强大的火力——25次射门打进5球，创造了很多重要的得分机会，还有2个被判无效的进球。他们充满信心地来参加这场比赛，他们想要延续他们在第一场比赛中开始的状态，并确保他们在下一轮的位置。

哥斯达黎加队的气氛不好。球队队长、防守型中场雪莉·克鲁兹(在国家队出场100场以上)因与主教练发生争执而没有参加本届比赛。另外两名后卫门将贝穆德斯和后卫罗德里格斯也没有上场，因为他们留在了克鲁兹身后。这三名球员的缺阵对哥斯达黎加的防守阵型来说是一个巨大的打击，这在第一场对阵西班牙的比赛中就很明显。哥斯达黎加0:3输了，但这应该是更大的损失:西班牙有80%的控球率，并且用46次射门结束了这场比赛。哥斯达黎加只有一个……

日本人看起来很有创意，成品也很锋利。他们都需要工具来摧毁哥斯达黎加的防守阵型。球队状态良好，信心十足，对阵士气低落的球队。我只能想象一种情况——日本大获全胜!在我看来，日本至少要进3-4个球。
