We are set for a grand finish in Group E as Germany take on Costa Rica in the final group stage fixture.
Costa Rica lie in second place in the group with 3 points, tied with Japan, owing to inferior goal difference. Germany, meanwhile, find themselves at the bottom of the table with just a solitary point from the two games.
Both Group E games will determine the fate of this group as none of the teams have sealed qualification, with results in both games holding the ability to influence the destiny of all the teams.
For Costa Rica to qualify, they will need to either win or draw against Germany, while hoping that Spain defeat Japan. As for Germany, they need maximum points and hope for a Spain win to secure their passage to the Round of 16.
A draw between Luis Enrique's side and the Samurai Blue will see the equation fall to goal difference, so Germany will have to ensure they win by at least a two-goal margin.
