Cameroon vs Brazil: 2022 World Cup, Group Stage Match Preview, and Dream11 Predictions

Cameroon vs Brazil is next as back-to-back victories for Brazil to start their 2022 World Cup campaign means their place in the round of 16 has already been secured.

Match Details:

  • Location: Lusail, Qatar
  • Stadium: Lusail Iconic Stadium
  • Date: Friday 2 December
  • Kick-off Time: 12:30 AM IST
  • Watch: Sports 18/HD, Jio Cinema App

Cameroon vs Brazil: Match Preview:

Not since the days of Roger Milla have the Lions qualified from the groups at a World Cup and just a single point against Switzerland and Serbia leaves them requiring at least a win against the favourites in Qatar.

Few could say Brazil have been at their best so far but a pair of wins without conceding have booked their place in the last-16.

Only a point will be needed to confirm their position as Group G winners.

The question for Tite's side is whether they can turn on the samba style to bank a statement victory and press home their claim to the throne.

Team News:

Cameroon:

The major team news coming out of the Cameroonian camp surrounds goalkeeper Andre Onana. The Inter shot-stopper was removed from Rigobert Song's squad ahead of the 3-3 draw with Serbia and will not play any further role in Cameroon's campaign.

Veteran striker Aboubakar has surely played his way into Song's starting XI for this one after he scored and assisted off the bench on Matchday 2.

Brazil:

Tite will be without Neymar and Danilo for Brazil's final group game, with the pragmatic boss poised to make a few changes to the side that beat Switzerland 1-0 on Matchday 2.

Alex Telles could come in for Alex Sandro at left-back, while it's unlikely that both Fred and Lucas Paqueta will start in midfield. Richarlison could be rested up top with Gabriel Jesus potentially coming in, while Rodrygo could make his first start of the tournament down the right.

Cameroon vs Brazil: Head to Head:

There have been six meetings between Cameroon and Brazil. The Selecao have won five of those games while their African opponents have won the other one.

The two sides last faced off in a friendly clash back in November 2018, with Brazil winning 1-0 via a late first-half strike from Tottenham Hotspur's Richarlison.

Predicted Line-ups:

Cameroon starting 11 (4-3-3): Epassy; Fai, Castelletto, N'Koulou, Tolo; Anguissa, Hongla, Kunde; Mbeumo, Aboubakar, Choupo-Moting.
Bench: Ngapandouetnbu, Mbekeli, Wooh, Ondoua, Ngamaleu, N'Koudou, Nsame, Toko Ekambi, Bassogog, Gouet, Mbaizo, Ntcham, Ebosse, Marou.
