Teams on Group E - 2022’s Group of Death?
Due to the exceptionally impressive level of teams from across the world of football, you will always be hard pushed to find a tournament without a Group of Death. Of course, it is easy to argue what constitutes a Group of Death, but few will question Group E as a potentially horrible group to be a part of. The competitive and unpredictable nature of the game is part of what makes betting on the group stage of the World Cup so enjoyable.
Costa Rica - A World Cup shock on the cards?
Costa Rica may have finished at the bottom of their group in the 2018 World Cup, but they went down swinging in all of their games. Tight defeats to Serbia and Brazil in which the latter scored twice in injury time to win preceded a 2-2 draw with Switzerland. However, it was the 2014 World Cup where they really made a name for themselves as they topped a group that included Uruguay, Italy and England, defying bettors and bookies alike.
Costa Rica ultimately finished in fourth in North American qualification for Qatar 2022, going onto beat New Zealand in the inter-continental playoff. While they are not a top-tier side, they are a good team on their day, and bettors and bookies should treat them with some trepidation.
Germany - Germany out at the group-stages again?
There are a number of teams that want to forget about the 2018 World Cup, with Germany at the top of this list. Finishing at the bottom of the table was an embarrassing result for the Germans, with the nation holding themselves to very high standards.
For the 2022 World Cup, Germany are in fine form. Nine wins in 10 in qualifying saw them finishing nine points clear of their nearest rivals, and they look good right now.
Most think Spain and Germany will battle for top spot in Group E, with bookies not totally sure which side will come out on top.
Japan - Japan to mount shock campaign?
Japan battled to second in Group B in the AFC to secure their place at the 2022 World Cup. Two defeats and one draw came alongside seven wins as the Japanese secured their berth at the showpiece event with time to spare.
Being knocked out in the Round of 16 at the 2018 World Cup constitutes their joint-best ever showing at the competition, and they will have a real taste for more this year.
Spain - The Spanish to dominate Group E?
Six wins, one draw and one defeat saw Spain canter to the World Cup, and the side now has a real point to prove at the latest iteration of the biggest competition in sports. A less than inspiring campaign in the group-stage of the 2018 world Cup was followed by a loss on penalties to tournament hosts Russia, with Spain embarrassed at the tournament.
Now, the one-time winners will be hoping to add a second star to their shirts.
