Spain is regarded as one of the favorites to win this year's Women's World Cup and will be given a chance to win against Costa Rica.
I think that Spain is one of the best teams in the world today in terms of technical aspects, concerning their ability to make constant passes and to keep the ball at their feet, which makes the opponents defenseless.
Petenas missed the final week of the Europa League last year due to injury, which seriously affected Spain's performance. Now that one of the best midfielders in the world is back, the team will be greatly strengthened.
Another player to watch out for is Paternoster's teammate from Barcelona, Aitana, who has excellent footwork and vision, so I expect the tandem of the two to be the key to a win for the Raging Bulls. Jennifer Boots Mosu, who also did not play in the final week of last year's UEFA Europa League due to injury, has also returned to the field to increase the threat of goals for the front line, so Spain's attacking power in front of the field seems to be quite strong.
Costa Rica will want to keep up with Spain in this match, so they will need to be tactically disciplined and try to frustrate their opponents. They will be without the ball for a long period of time, and in order to preserve their strength, they will need to choose the right moment to put pressure on their opponents, as well as defend well after carefully deciding when to fall.
