The Indomitable Lions are heading for a relatively difficult task of facing Brazil in the Group G Fixture on Friday at Lusail Iconic Stadium, with the motives of defeating them and clearing the way for qualification to the knockout stages.
With no wins so far in World Cup, Cameroon grabs third place in their group settlement with one point, which they earned after finishing a goalless draw against Serbia. Their prospects of qualification to the Last 16 could rise if they defeat Brazil in the current match and then watch for Serbia to overcome Switzerland by a single goal.
In contrast, Selecaos have already booked their seat for the next rounds, needing one point to finish on top in their group. As expected, Brazil is unbeatable in this tournament, defeating Serbia by 2-0 in their opener and Switzerland by 1-0 in the recent clash. Notably, the side hasn’t conceded any goal so far, which stands as a record for them.
With minimal odds in favor, Cameroon needs to create their chances by displaying an aggressive performance against Brazil. Perhaps, Brazil highly relies on inexperienced players due to injuries of its prime ones, including Alex Sandro, the latest to be ruled out due to ankle injury.
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
