Japan can put one foot in the last 16 with victory over a demoralised Costa Rica in their second match at Qatar 2022. 

The Samurai Blue produced a shock during the first round of matches at the World Cup, sinking 2014 champions Germany to give themselves a fighting chance of survival in this tournament’s group of death.

Costa Rica were thrashed 7-0 in their opening game by Spain and Luis Enrique’s side can do Japan a favour today: should Hajime Moriyasu’s men win this early game and Spain then defeat Germany, Japan will be into the knockouts.

Japan had some injury concerns coming into the World Cup, but those were soothed just in time. Ao Tanaka suffered a knock playing for Fortuna Dusseldorf in the build-up and was replaced in the second half against Germany. His fitness level is unclear.
