Cameroon Team Breakdown

Cameroon could well be haunted by their opening defeat against Switzerland, with the only goal coming from Breel Embolo who was born in Cameroon. That has meant they come into this game against Brazil needing a win. The team have the ability to create and score, and are going to be riding high after fighting back to a draw against Serbia. They are likely to play a 4-3-3 formation.

Strengths: Attacking talent. Cameroon, despite only having one point do have some talent in attack. Vincent Aboubakar made a huge impact when he came on as a substitute, scoring a goal and assisting one after being on the field for only 11 minutes. They also have Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting who has bounced around several European leagues and teams. But, he has had a habit of stepping up with big goals.

Weaknesses: Goalkeeper. Andre Onana has been sent home after a disagreement with the manager over the style of play, putting Devis Epassy in goal. Against a Brazilian team that can bring wave after wave of attacking power, it's not the best foundation to build off of.

Brazil Breakdown

Coming into this one, Brazil has a fantastic chance of getting nine points from their group. They started well with a 2-0 victory, before struggling to a 1-0 win against Switzerland. Two clean sheets in two games is a great foundation. In fact, they are yet to allow a single shot on target! Tite's team is in all honesty going to cruise to victory here and set up a game against the second-placed team from Group H (who will be known by the time this game kicks off). They are likely to stick with their 4-3-3 formation.

Strengths: Talent. There is no doubt that this team is stacked with talent from front to back. Even with the number of injuries they have suffered, they have players that have experience for the best teams in Europe. With Brazil already through, we could see the team being rotated to give more game time to some of their squad. The fact that rotation could include Bruno Guimaraes, Gabriel Jesus and Antony really shows the strength that this squad has.

Weaknesses: Complacency and injuries stacking up. This Brazilian team doesn't really have anything to play for, and they struggled to get the win last time out against Switzerland. I'm not expecting the same defensive ability from Cameroon, but we could see Brazil struggle to start the game. If they were to pick up more injuries, it would really start to stretch this squad that already has a number of players on the sidelines, including star player Neymar.

Cameroon v Brazil Prediction

Cameroon is really fighting to qualify for the next round, but they really left it too late, needing a win against Brazil. Brazil is going to be more than happy to soak up the pressure, before hitting the African side on the break. Brazil has the pace and quality to convert those chances if they come, as well as the ability to break the defense down if the game slows down

Score prediction: Cameroon 0 - 2 Brazil
