Costa Rica secured their spot in the knockout stage by finishing second in Group E, accumulating six points from victories against Ecuador (1-0) and Curaçao (2-0), with their only loss coming against Germany. This marks their first advancement to the elimination rounds of a World Cup, and they aim to continue their journey.

Norway also secured the runner-up position in Group I, trailing France. Despite a 4-1 loss to France in their final group game where coach Ståle Solbakken fielded reserve players, Norway had previously defeated Iraq 4-1 and Senegal 3-2, largely thanks to the impressive performances of Erling Haaland, who has emerged as one of the tournament's standout players.

According to betting odds, the European team is considered the favorite to win, with odds of 2.18 for a win compared to 3.66 for a Costa Rican victory. A draw, which would lead to a penalty shootout after extra time, is priced at up to 3.60.
