Cameroon vs Serbia Match Analysis & Prediction
28/11/2022 12:00 am
Cameroon and Serbia must win to advance to the knockout stage of the 2022 World Cup. While Switzerland tamed the Indomitable Lions on Thursday afternoon, their European counterparts suffered at the hands of pundits’ favourites Brazil; losing 2-0 to the Selecao despite keeping them at bay for an hour. Both now face an almost win-or-bust scenario in Al Wakrah.
Although Cameroon held Switzerland to a scoreless first half, Breel Embolo scored for the European side shortly after the break, putting the West African nation behind by one.
As a result, Cameroon has not won the World Cup since 2002 and will now be eager to avoid equalling Mexico’s unwanted record of nine losses in a row.
Although they recently won third place at the Africa Cup of Nations, they have struggled for form ever since, winning just one of their last six games – and that victory was over Burundi.
After their opening fixture at Lusail Stadium on Thursday, Brazil defeated Serbia 2-0. The result was the same as when the two nations met four years ago.
Richarlison scored both goals for the Selecao in the second half, handing Serbia their third loss in their last 17 internationals. Coach Dragan Stojkovic bemoaned a lack of fitness for some of his star players but acknowledged his team had lost to the better side.
Having crashed out at the group stage in their three previous finals appearances since gaining independence, Serbia has now lost eight of their 10 World Cup matches in total – the most defeats by any European nation.

Although Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting failed to score against Benfica on Thursday, he is still likely to keep his place in Cameroon’s team. Rigobert Song could consider turning to captain Vincent Aboubakar instead, but the Saudi Arabia-based striker is expected to start on the bench again.

As a result, midfielders Andre-Frank Zambo Anguissa and Martin Hongla – who both play their club football in Italy – start again in the engine room. Following his side’s defeat to Brazil, Dragan Stojkovic aired his frustration that top scorer Aleksandar Mitrovic and Juventus pair Dusan Vlahovic and Filip Kostic were not fully fit.
