Likely lineups

Delicate match the one scheduled at Al Bayt Stadium in Al Kohr at 8 p.m. Italian time on Thursday, Dec. 1: Four-time world champions Germany, led by Hansi Flick, will face Costa Rica.

The Germans are obliged to win to hope to snatch a pass to the round of 16. The technical commissioner of the Teutonic national team could opt for some changes among the starters: in fact, Fullkrug, in goal against Spain, Sané and Goretzka could make their debut from the first minute. Among Germany’s ranks, however, fullback Raum will be missing due to a rib injury.

Suarez’s Costa Rica will play its cards with the 5-3-2 already seen in the victory against Japan, after the very heavy opening defeat against Spain 7-0.

Likely lineups.

COSTA RICA (5-3-2): Navas; Fuller, Duarte, Waston, Calvo, Oviedo; Torres, Tejeda, Borges; Campbell, Contreras. Ct. Suarez.

GERMANY (4-2-3-1): Neuer; Klostermann, Sule, Rudiger, Schlotterbeck; Kimmich, Goretzka; Sané, Muller, Musiala; Fullkrug. Ct. Flick.
