Cameroon Vs Brazil FIFA World Cup 2022 Qatar

Brazil has already advanced to the next round. This encounter, though, will provide them a chance to win all three matches and go to the knockout stage. Cameroon, on the other side, has to defeat Switzerland in order to advance to the Round of 16.

Overview

While Argentina, Belgium, Germany, France, and Spain have all experienced upsets in this tournament, Brazil has looked strong from the start. Fans expect the pre-tournament favorites to also overwhelm the Central African team. Cameroon is now stuck on a single point. To advance, they must win while Switzerland loses or draws.

Brazil leads the table with six points, three more than Switzerland and five more than Cameroon and Serbia.

Cameroon is attempting to go past the group stage for the first time since reaching the quarterfinals of the tournament in the United States in 1990 when a side headed by striker Roger Milla was ousted in extra time by England. Four years ago, Cameroon did not qualify for the tournament in Russia.

The Africans, who began their campaign in Qatar with a loss to Switzerland and then drew with Serbia, are potentially getting a reprieve for the final group game due to all of the changes expected in the Brazil team.

Rotating the roster may be vital since if Brazil wins the group, its round of 16 games would be played on Monday, just three days after the encounter against Cameroon. Brazil won its first two games, defeating Serbia 2-0 and Switzerland 1-0, without conceding a single shot on goal.

Alves, 39, might become the oldest Brazilian to participate in a World Cup, surpassing Thiago Silva, 38, who is Brazil's captain in Qatar. Alves' most recent World Cup appearance was in the round of 16 of the 2014 tournament in Brazil. The right defender had an injury before the 2018 World Cup in Russia.

Brazil is attempting to win their World Cup group for the 11th time in a row. Depending on the other group's match, it might finish first even if it loses. Brazil has won 14 of its past 17 group games and drawn three. It has only lost one of its past 29 group matches, against Norway in France in 1998.

Cameroon experienced a minor problem following their 3-3 tie with Serbia, with goalkeeper Andre Onana being sent home for disciplinary grounds following a disagreement with coach Rigobert Song.

Teams

Brazil

In this encounter, the Selecao will face an uncommon foe: complacency. Because they have already advanced to the next round, there is a chance that the South American club will take it easy. They have yet to surrender a goal in the competition, which is a significant advantage. The pre-tournament favorites are projected to win their group unless they lose and Ghana pulls off a stunning comeback against Serbia. Unfortunately for Brazil supporters, Neymar's World Cup trip may be ended due to injury. Neymar doesn't have great recollections of the world cups because he broke his vertebrae during the quarterfinal against Colombia in 2014 and was forced to miss the rest of the tournament.

Cameroon

When the Indomitable Lions came back from a 3-1 hole to tie the game at 3-3 against Serbia, they made sure everyone stood up and watched. Things will be quite different against Brazil, which appears to be in excellent shape. Cameroon will be hoping that Brazil does not come into this encounter overconfident. They must exploit any weakness in the Brazilian defense. Cameroon had never won their last group match in seven previous World Cup appearances.

Head-to-Head

Brazil has a great record versus African nations in the World Cup. They have won all seven of their previous meetings by an aggregate score of 20-2. Two of its world cup victories came at the cost of Cameroon, the first in 1994 and the second in 2014. Brazil and Cameroon have played six games thus far, with none ending in a tie. Cameroon's sole triumph came in the FIFA Confederations Cup in 2003, when they won 1-0.

Important Players

In the first match, Richarlison sparkled like a blazing light. Fans would like to see him do it again. Cameroon will rely on striker Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting of Bayern Munich, who has previously scored at FIFA 2022.

Date, Time, and Location

The match between Cameroon and Brazil will take place on December 3 at 00:30 AM (Indian time) at the Lusail Stadium in Lusail.

Prediction

Cameroon will have little chance against Brazil, who would advance to the next round if their group stage records are perfect. It will be a 3-1 victory for the South American team.
