Cameroon vs Brazil
FIFA World Cup
Date: 2 December 2022, Friday
Kick-off at 19:00 UK / 20:00 CET
Venue: Lusail Iconic Stadium (Lusail).
When Cameroon plays Brazil in the Lusail Stadium on Friday, they will be trying to guarantee their place in the FIFA World Cup Round of 16.
On Friday, the group stage of the FIFA World Cup 2022 will come to a close after four games.
Three teams are still in the running to secure a spot in the Round of 16, and Group G is still quite open.
And when they play Brazil at the Lusail Stadium, Cameroon will aim to be that team.
The FIFA World Cup 2022 got off to a bad start for Cameroon when Switzerland defeated them 1-0.
The Indomitable Lions suffered their seventh straight World Cup defeat in that match. However, Rigobert Song’s team improved in their second game, drawing 3-3.
Due to this outcome, Cameroon, Switzerland, and Serbia will compete for a single spot in the Round of 16.
However, Tite has so far managed a professional campaign for Brazil.
The South American juggernauts have arguably been the tournament’s most dependable team, winning both games without surrendering a goal.
The Selecao will probably finish the group stage as the group’s top team before taking on Group H’s runners-up.
The most recent match between Brazil and Cameroon ended in a close 1-0 victory for Brazil, with Richarlison scoring the game’s lone goal.
The FIFA World Cup 2022 match is examined in more detail by The euworld in advance of the most recent meeting between the two teams.
Cameroon vs Brazil Head to head :
- Cameroon played great in both games so far but they leave plenty of room at the back
- Brazil have one of the most lethal offensive lines on the planet
- Gabriel Jesus will likely get the nod as Tite wants to rest Richarlison
Cameroon vs Brazil Prediction :
On Friday, Cameroon will bet on its chances to stun a drastically altered Brazil.
And that increases their likelihood of earning three points and moving on to the Round of 16.
However, Tite will still have a capable starting eleven to avoid injury.
The euworld therefore forecasts a spirited 2-1 victory for the Selecao.
Cameroon vs Brazil Team News :
Andre Onana won’t play in goal for Cameroon since he was expelled for misconduct after arguing with the coach about the team’s playing philosophy.
Devis Epassy, who is less seasoned, should start in goal, as he did in the previous game, while Vincent Aboubakar, who scored last time out off the bench, might go to the front line.
Alex Sandro is the most recent player to be ruled out for Brazil due to injury after receiving a scan for the hip problem that took him off against Switzerland.
Since Alex Telles was substituted for the final five minutes of the previous game, he is likely to replace him at left-back in the upcoming game.
Due to an ankle condition that kept him out of the previous game, Neymar, a key player, is also expected to miss this one, and Danilo won’t be in the running for a spot in the backline because of a similar issue.
Bruno Guimaraes, Gabriel Jesus, and Antony may receive additional playing time as Tite decides to rest some Brazil players due to their team’s automatic qualification for the knockout stages.
Cameroon possible starting lineup:
Epassy; Fai, Castelletto, Nkoulou, Tolo; Hongla, Anguissa, Kunde; Aboubakar, Choupo-Moting, Toko Ekambi
Brazil possible starting lineup:
Alisson; Militao, Marquinhos, Silva, Telles; Casemiro, Guimaraes, Paqueta; Antony, Jesus, Vinicius Jr
