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.
â Les Lions Indomptables Officiel (@LIndomptables) November 29, 2022
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.

In an interview with UOL, Jesus, who is currently at the helm of Saudi club Al-Hilal, assured that he has not been contacted by anyone from the Brazilian Football Federation. "No one has spoken to me, at least until today," he stated.
The 'Globo' network has indicated that Al-Hilal head coach Jorge Jesus is the front-runner to become the head coach of the Brazilian national team.
The network also pointed out that Jorge Jesus is not keen to leave his position at Al-Hilal since he expects to stay with the Saudi Pro League side until the end of the AFC Champions League Elite, which concludes on May 3, 2025.

Further, the network added that Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti was the initial choice; however, he is not ready to leave his present job before the end of the 2025 Club World Cup.
The Portuguese coach aims to lead Al-Hilal to triumph in the AFC Champions League Elite and might consider stepping down before the Club World Cup to assume the coaching duty at the Brazilian national team.

Recent developments have witnessed prominent figures such as Carlo Ancelotti and Filipe Luis pulling out of contention as of now to take over the Brazil job, solidifying Jesus's position as the front-runner.
When asked on the 'Charla Podcast' about the possibility of reuniting with Jesus in the national setup, Neymar seemed visibly uncomfortable and opted to answer otherwise. "I have nothing to do with this. I'm just a player; don't involve me in this. I'm out," he stated.
However, Jorge Jesus opened up about his relationship with Neymar. In the interview with UOL. "I have no issues with Neymar, but no club or national team can depend on individual players," the coach said, dismissing any conflicting triggers.
The situation raises questions about Neymar's future with the national team and the possible impact of this appointment on the team's dynamics. However, Brazil seeks to bounce back from their recent stint of setbacks and appoint a coach who can lead the team to the coveted success with the 2026 FIFA World Cup at stake.

🚨🇧🇷 Brazilian Federation are seriously considering a managerial change as now Dorival Junior position is under review.
The dream target for July would be Carlo Ancelotti again, as @geglobo reported — but no negotiations are taking place now as it also depends on Real Madrid. pic.twitter.com/RFzPJaDgRR
CBF president Ednaldo Rodriguez, recently re-elected, had previously identified Carlo Ancelotti as his managerial target in 2023, with Pep Guardiola also considered before the contract extension with Manchester City. However, the Italian has indicated that any discussions would only advance after the FIFA Club World Cup, which Real Madrid will participate in between June and July in the United States of America.
The Italian has previously stated that he would never willingly leave Real Madrid, but should the club end the season trophyless. Brazil may see an opportunity to attract him away. With Carlo Ancelotti's availability uncertain, the CBF is also considering other potential options.
Among the names being considered is Filipe Luiz, the former Atletico Madrid defender and current Flamengo coach.
Next for Brazil:

Brazil has its next set of FIFA World Cup qualifiers in early June, playing Ecuador away and Paraguay at home.
