The defense has been in good shape and has only conceded goals in 3 of the last 10 games, and their attack has regularly scored as they have managed to make it 8 out of the last 10 games.

The Brazil team is always one of the biggest favorites in the World Championship, since it is the only team that has won the competition five times and participated in all editions of the World Championship. During the qualifying phase, the Brazilian team, who had a bad start, managed to win in the last twelve days and qualified for another World Cup with a few days to go. In the last six friendly games he played in four of them, the Brazilian team scored more than 1.5 goals. We believe that this meeting will do so again, since Brazil, due to the

The team arrives in this second round of Group E after a defeat in their debut in this group stage, against Serbia, by (0-1). In the last 10 matches played for all competitions, Costa Rica won 2, drew 1 and lost 7. Defensive solidity has not been their strong point, having conceded goals in 8 of their last 10 matches. In 15 games, he suffered the first goal 8 times and never managed to get back to the result.

The Costa Rican team has never won a World Championship, their main achievements were three Concacaf Golden Cup, three Concacaf Nations Cup, among other competitions of the Concacaf. Costa Rica qualified in an exciting way with a ninth-minute defense goal to secure second place in the CONCACAF qualifiers. During this qualifying campaign in 10 games, he won 4 wins, 4 draws and 2 defeats, scored 14 goals and suffered 8. In the opening game against Serbia, he lost 1-0 with a free and indefensible goal, game, we found that Costa Rica even managed to create chances, but it lacked good forward to finish with quality, and its defensive sector showed many fragilities and should be having a bad time against Brazil.
