      For Spain:

      In the European qualifiers of the world preliminaries, Spain achieved 6 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss, ranked first in the group with 19 points, and successfully advanced to the finals. In this expedition to Qatar, the Spanish team is led by Barcelona veteran Busquets, and stars such as Pedri and Garvey are all selected. Although it no longer has the star flavor when it dominated the world football, the new force in the formation is enough to support the golden signboard of the "Matador". In this World Cup group stage, Spain's group E is called the "group of death". Spain's first game against Costa Rica, the latter is considered a relatively weak team in the group, the Matadors want to qualify for the group, these 3 points must be obtained.

      For Costa Rica:

      In the intercontinental play-offs of the World Cup qualifiers, with striker Joel Campbell's goal, Costa Rica finally defeated New Zealand 1-0 and became the last team to qualify for the Qatar World Cup. According to the 26-man roster announced by the Costa Rica team, this is an out-and-out civilian team. There are very few players in the five major leagues, and more than ten people are over 30 years old, and the team is aging more seriously. The goalkeeper Navas, known as "the wall", was one of the heroes of Real Madrid's three consecutive Champions League championships. He is currently playing for the French giants Paris Saint-Germain and is the soul of Costa Rica. In the first game of the group stage, they encountered a powerful matador. The team can only hope for the performance of the veterans on the back line and the goalkeeper Navas.

      Historical record: In the past 2 games, Spain has 2 wins, 0 draws and 0 losses.
