Pre-match information

Cameroon vs Brazil

After two wins against Switzerland and Serbia in Group G, Brazil has officially got tickets to the round of 16 teams 1 round early. This result is not surprising because Brazil is considered the No. 1 candidate for the World Cup 2022. They are the only team that has not conceded a goal at the 2022 World Cup.

Most likely, coach Tite will send substitutes to the field in the last match against Cameroon to keep his strength for the knockout round.

The last time Brazil met Cameroon was in the group stage of the 2014 World Cup, where Selecao won 4-1 thanks to a Neymar brace, the remaining goals were from Fred and Fernandinho.

On the other side of the front line, Cameroon has just experienced an emotional 3-3 draw against Serbia. Previously, the African representative received a 0-1 defeat against Switzerland on the opening day.

Cameroon is forced to win against Brazil and hopes that the remaining match will go in a favorable direction to raise hopes of winning tickets to the next round. However, if Brazil kicks properly, it is difficult for Cameroon to make a surprise.

Squad

Serbia vs Switzerland

In the other match, Switzerland and Serbia both want to win to determine their own fate.

Switzerland is ranked second with 3 points after 2 matches, Serbia has 1 point. Therefore, both Switzerland, Serbia and Cameroon have the opportunity to continue. If they win, Switzerland will win the ticket to continue regardless of the result of the remaining match.

If there is a draw, Switzerland will still win tickets to continue in case Brazil does not lose to Cameroon. In the event that Switzerland draws and Cameroon wins, the team with the better score difference will advance to the next round.

Serbia must win to have any hope of progressing. They will qualify for the group stage if Brazil wins or draws with Cameroon. If both Cameroon and Serbia win, the two teams will have to compare the sub-index.
