In the recent past, Germany has had good experiences with its neighbor in knockout games. In the last three duels - in the quarterfinals of the 2010 home World Cup, in the 2018 Olympic decider in Pyeongchang and most recently in the 2021 World Cup quarterfinals - the Germans have always prevailed. The exact time of the match has not yet been set.
