Brazil is through to the next round of the World Cup and Tite will probably rest his starters in this Cameroon vs Brazil game. It is the African team that plays to see another day in this tournament.
Cameroon needs a win to have any hope of going through. Then they will wait for the result of the Serbia vs Switzerland match. If the other game ends in a draw, Cameroon needs a win by one goal to qualify for the Round of 16. If Switzerland wins, then Cameroon’s win will be irrelevant. And if it is Serbia that wins, then the goal difference will be the stat that decides who goes through.
Cameroon vs Brazil
Date: 1 December 2022
Time: 19:00 (GMT)
Venue: Lusail Iconic Stadium (Lusail)
In a tournament where African teams have been just amazing, Cameroon is flamboyant but naive. A loss to Switzerland was paired with an impressive come-from-behind draw against Serbia. But one point means that Cameroon will have to beat almighty Brazil to even have a chance of getting to the knockouts for the first time since 1990. Even if qualification isn’t achieved Cameroon still wants the win, their first in the tournament since 2002.
Vincent Aboubakar deserves a start after his goal off the bench against Serbia, a brilliant goal indeed. And will get it from manager Rigobert Song. Meanwhile, goalkeeper Andre Onana is already back home after a feud with his coach. Group F has been a canvas for dressing room drama in this World Cup, this has to be said.
Yes, Brazil is already at the knockout stage, after wins over Serbia and Switzerland. This is not what troubles Tite and millions of Brazilians. That is Neymar’s condition. Brazil’s superstar picked up an ankle injury against Serbia and has not yet trained fully ever since. He is on a race against the clock to be ready for the knockouts.
But this can wait. The Selecao wants to keep the victorious run going in this Cameroon vs Brazil match. We will see many fresh faces used by Tite, including Ederson, Alex Telles, Bruno Guimaraes, Antony, Fabinho, and Gabriel Jesus.
Cameroon (4-3-3): Epassy; Fai, Castelletto, N’Koulou, Tolo; Anguissa, Hongla, Kunde; Mbeumo, Aboubakar, Choupo-Moting
Brazil (4-2-3-1): Ederson; Militao, Thiago Silva, Marquinhos, Telles; Casemiro, Bruno Guimaraes; Rodrygo, Paqueta, Vinicius Jr; Gabriel Jesus
Cameroon to Win: 7.80
Draw: 4.70
Brazil to Win: 1.45
Over 2.5 Goals: 1.80
Under 2.5 Goals: 2.05
Brazilians are all about the beautiful game. They have no reason to hold back now. Against a Cameroon team that has offensive talent, but no defensive discipline, this is a recipe for many goals.
Cameroon vs Brazil Pick: Over 2.5 Goals @1.80
