Germany, four-time World Cup champions, will play Japan on November 23 to kick off their 2022 FIFA World Cup campaign in Qatar. As they are poised to launch their campaign against Japan in 2022, Germany is not going to look back at their performances in Russia in 2018.
Only one of Japan's last eight World Cup games has ended in victory, but that victory over Colombia in the tournament's first leg in Russia was enough to reach the round of 16 for the last time.
This will be Hansi Flick's first major competition as Germany manager and he wants to make sure his team makes a lasting impression. Die Mannschaft didn't shine with their efforts in 2022 as Flick's side only managed two wins in nine games.
Despite appearing in seven finals in a row and having a lot of experience on the international stage, Hajime Moriyasu's team has never progressed past the first round in consecutive world championships - a historical trend that Japan would like to abandon this time. The Blue Samurai have reached the round of 16 of 22 FIFA World Cup matches seven times.
Although Takumi Minamino was nominated for Japan's preliminary team back in Brazil in 2014, he is set to make his World Cup debut. With 10 goals and four assists, Minamino was a key player for Japan during qualifying. He will try to keep this form during the final.

Germany national team
Germany has a dismal track record with just two wins in the previous eight games, which hasn't given the Germans much confidence. Germany could equal Brazil in terms of World Cup wins with five if they win the tournament in Qatar, as fellow four-time champion Italy is not participating. However, judging by recent results, breaking the group of Spain, Japan and Costa Rica will not be easy.Team Japan
In their six World Cup matches since 1998, Japan tends to lose in the group stage before reaching the round of 16. But qualifying with 15 wins out of 18 and a record 58 goals is certainly reassuring for Japan.Face-to-face meetings
The four-time world champions have never faced Japan in a competitive match, but it shouldn't be a big surprise to hear that they have won both of their previous meetings: Germany won 3-0 in a friendly match in 2004 and two years later a 2-2 draw in another demonstration game.Key players of the match Germany-Japan
Since his World Cup debut in 2010, Thomas Müller has been Germany's star in recent competitions, scoring 10 goals and providing six assists in 16 matches. But Müller may not be a lock to start as the focus will be on Youssuf Mukoko, the youngest player in the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar and arguably the most promising young German prospect since Jamal Musiala's rise to fame at Bayern Munich.
