The 2022 FIFA World Cup is back in action with another round of matches this week as Cameroon lock horns with Tite's Brazil in an important Group G clash at the Lusail Stadium on Friday.
Cameroon vs Brazil Preview
Cameroon are currently in third place in Group G and have an outside chance of reaching the knock-outs. The African giants are two points behind Switzerland at the moment and will need to get a result from this fixture.
Brazil are the favourites to top their group at the moment and have been fairly impressive so far. The Selecao edged Switzerland to a crucial 1-0 victory in their previous game and will look to take it up a notch this week.

Cameroon vs Brazil Prediction
Brazil have an impressive squad at their disposal and are one of the favorites to win the World Cup. With Neymar carrying an injury and the Selecao set to rest their first-team stars, the likes of Gabriel Jesus and Antony will need to carry the goalscoring burden in this fixture.
Cameroon pulled off a stunning comeback against Serbia but will need to work on their defensive structure ahead of this match. Brazil are the better team on paper and should be able to win this game.
Prediction: Cameroon 1-3 Brazil
