Cameroon vs Brazil
Brazil has already advanced to the following round. They will have a chance to win this game and the other two to advance to the elimination round. To advance to the Round of 16, Cameroon, on the other side, needs to defeat Switzerland.
Overview
Brazil has looked strong from Day 1 of this tournament, while other notable teams like Argentina, Belgium, Germany, France, and Spain have suffered shock losses. The pre-tournament favorites should also thrash the Central African team, according to the crowd. At the moment, Cameroon is stuck on just one issue. They would need to triumph and have Switzerland lose or draw in order to progress.
Teams
Brazil
In this match, Selecao will face an unusual foe in complacency. There is every chance that the South American team will ease up a bit now that they have advanced to the next round. They haven’t given up a goal yet in the competition, which is a big plus. If they win, the pre-tournament favorites will likely win their group, barring a dramatic performance by Ghana against Serbia. Unfortunately for Brazil supporters, Neymar’s participation in the World Cup may be over due to injury. Neymar doesn’t have fond memories of world cups because the star player fractured his vertebrae against Colombia in the 2014 quarterfinal and was sidelined for an extended period of time.
Cameroon
The Indomitable Lions made sure everyone was watching when they overcame a 3-1 deficit to tie the game against Serbia at 3-3. When playing Brazil, who appears to be in excellent shape, things will be very different. Brazil will likely enter this encounter as an overconfident team, something Cameroon will wish for. They must exploit any weakness in the Brazilian defense. Cameroon had never won their last group match in any of their seven previous World Cup appearances.
Head-to-Head
Brazil’s World Cup record against African opponents is impressive. With an overall record of 20-2, they have won each of their previous seven matches. Two of those world cup victories—one in 1994 and the other in 2014—were at Cameroon’s expense. There have been six games between Brazil and Cameroon so far, and none of them have ended in draws. Cameroon only ever achieved one victory, a 1-0 victory at the 2003 FIFA Confederations Cup.
Key Players
In the opening game, Richarlison shone like a brilliant star. Fans want him to try it once more this time. Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting of Bayern Munich, who has already scored at FIFA 2022, is the striker Cameroon will rely on.
Date, Time & Venue
On December 3 at 1:00 AM (Bangladesh time), the match between Cameroon and Brazil will take place at Lusail Stadium.
Prediction
Brazil, who will advance to the next round with the perfect group stage record, will give Cameroon little chance. It will be a 3-1 victory for the South American team.
