As the final round of the 2022 World Cup approaches, Cameroon is aware that they must defeat Brazil on Friday night to have any hope of moving on from Group G to round 16.
Following back-to-back victories, the Brazilians have already secured their spot in the round of 16. As a consequence, they are in first place in the group, three points ahead of Switzerland in second.
Cameroon is currently in third place, two points behind Switzerland and five points behind Brazil. Additionally, they depend on the outcome of the other Group G game.
In their debut match, Switzerland defeated the Cameroonians 1-0. Last week, despite having five shots on goal, they were defeated.
The previous time around, with Serbia leading 3-1 in the second half, it seemed like they were about to suffer another defeat. However, they managed to snag a draw with goals from Vincent Aboubakar and Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting.
Cameroon has played 16 games so far in 2022. In all competitions, they have won six, tied six, and lost four.
The African team will probably struggle against Brazil since they have been so unreliable this year.
The Brazilians, on the other hand, started their journey with two wins in a row to get into the knockout round.
In their first game, the South Americans beat Serbia 2-0 thanks to two goals from Richarlison. In their second game, they beat Switzerland 1-0 thanks to a goal from Casemiro in the 83rd minute.
Brazil has now won all nine of its games in all competitions, winning each one while scoring 29 goals (3.2 goals per game).
They have also maintained seven clean sheets in their last nine games, demonstrating their strength on defense.
Brazil and Cameroon have fought each other six times in head-to-head competition. While the Cameroonians have only won once, the Brazilians have secured five victories.
At the 2014 World Cup, Brazil defeated Cameroon 4-1. Four years later, the South American team defeated the Africans 1-0 in a friendly match.
