Germany, a four-time World Cup champion, will kick up their FIFA World Cup 2022 campaign in Qatar on November 23 against Japan.
Since this will be Hansi Flick’s first significant match as Germany’s manager, he’ll want to make sure his team makes a good first impression.
German confidence hasn’t been boosted by their abysmal record of just two victories in their previous eight games.
Japan has a pattern of losing in the group stage before moving on to the round of 16 in their six World Cup appearances since 1998.
Germany has won both of their previous meetings with Japan, winning 3-0 in a friendly in 2004 and tying 2-2 in another exhibition game two years later.
On November 23 at 7.00 PM (Bangladesh time), the match between Germany and Japan will take place at the Khalifa International Stadium in Doha.
Germany will play with intent in the opening game because they won’t risk running into Spain to advance. Despite a strong performance from Japan, anticipate a 3-0 victory for the German team.
