Cameroon vs Brazil Preview
World Cup Group G, Friday, December 2nd, 19:00 (UK)
The Brazilians last met their African counterparts in a 1-0 friendly win in 2018. Before that, the two meetings in the World Cup painted a picture of samba-infused dominance, with images of a select celebratory few in yellow beamed to millions watching worldwide.
Of course, head coach Tite will be hoping for more of the same. And in truth, it’s difficult to see anything other than goals of a Brazilian persuasion. However, with The Indomitable Lions needing a win to progress to the knockouts, we can expect a more adventurous performance than we usually see against this standard of opposition. If they can silence the hoards of doubters and get the job done here, they’ll lock in their first Round of 16 fixture for 32 years.
That makes it a must-watch for the neutral, though likely problematic viewing for those back home, with Cameroon presenting as vulnerable in transition against a Brazil team that progresses upfield so efficiently. Regardless of needing a win or not, Cameroon will need to locate Brazil’s goal first and foremost.
Alisson has proved a mere observant to proceedings in Qatar. Not once have Brazil conceded a shot on target. The last nation to navigate the first two World Cup group games without their goalkeeper worked was hosts France in 1998. The fewest shots on target faced by a team at the World Cup in the group stages? Argentina takes that record, conceding just two on target in 1966.

Following the thinking of Cameroon having to come out of their shell at some stage and attack, that should lend itself to more of an open encounter compared to the usual low-block, park-the-bus type of set-up when Brazil come to town.
Bet365 have priced Cameroon shots up at Over 7.5 at 2.00. That’s about right, although also frightfully low at the same time for a team that needs to win to progress. The favourites for the whole competition conceded five goals against Serbia and six against Switzerland, though it wasn’t a win-or-bust scenario for either opponent.
I don’t want to be too bullish on Cameroon shots, given the likelihood of Brazil commanding the majority of possession and having more than enough quality to dispatch Cameroon even when resting plenty for the subsequent game. However, to find the net three times against Serbia when your backs against the wall, mustering 2.29xG, there’s an evident belief and stubbornness within the camp. One would assume that Brazil runs away with things here, though five Cameroon attempts is worth inclusion if they can stay in the game and fire pop-shots towards goal.
Ultimately, unfortunately for Cameroon, Brazil likely have too much firepower. Too much strength in depth. Over 1.5 Brazil goals, something they managed versus Serbia but couldn’t quite oversee versus Switzerland, comes in at 1.50 – coupling the two together? We’ll get a relatively sturdy odds-against 2.05 wager. Registering two goals within the 90 minutes will be an achievement for Cameroon, so if we take two Brazil goals, it makes sense to include a Brazil win while we’re at it. After all, the South Americans are unbeaten in their last 17 World Cup group-stage fixtures.
Brazil played 17 fixtures throughout a dominant World Cup qualification phase in South America. From those goal-laden showings, the samba stars amassed a 34.7xG total, with a CONMEBOL high of 12.06 shots per 90.
The Cameroonians may need goals, but they’re coming up against an eleven familiar with the art of making the net rustle.
- Brazil Win
- Over 1.5 Brazil Goals
- Over 5.5 Cameroon Shots
