THE PREDICTION

Luis Fernando Suarez’s Costa Rica qualified for the 2022 FIFA World Cup via a penalty shootout victory over New Zealand in the intercontinental playoffs during the summer. Costa Rica are looking like one of, if not the, weakest entrant in Qatar. They now face a Nigerian side that were surprisingly knocked out of CAF qualification by rivals Ghana in March. The Super Eagles have an impressive generation of players but will not be able to showcase them on the global stage until 2026 at least. A low-scoring encounter is expected for this one, regardless of the match result.
