Two highly competitive teams of Group H, Switzerland and Cameroon, will square off for the first time on the FIFA World Cup platform on Thursday at the Al Janoub Stadium. Of course, bagging 3 points before stumbling in the remaining games against Brazil and Serbia would be the deepest underway thoughts of both sides.
The African tycoon enters the World Cup following a third-place result at the Africa Cup of Nations, while Switzerland comes in off the back of a quarterfinal finish at Euro 2020. With firm backgrounds, either side would love to stir FIFA with similar performances.
Murat Yakin appearing in the first World Cup of his era oversees continuous success, which he witnessed during World Cup Qualifying Rounds, where his team remained unbeatable with 18 points, a few less than 24 to reach the possible top position.
Notably, the Swiss team also sealed a qualification slot in League A of the National Leagues after defeating Portugal, Spain, and the Czech Republic in a row. However, they lost to Ghana by 2-0 during the most recent Warm-up match.
In contrast, Cameroon hasn’t done anything they are proud of, as they won only one match of the five played in previous days. Perhaps, their only victory comes against 141st-ranked Burundi.
They are 28 places behind the Swiss Rivals, and the only possibility of their victory would relate to their qualification time drama when Karl Toko Ekambi last minute goal helped them reach the World Cup.
