FIFA World Cup 2022 – Cameroon vs Brazil, Group G, match preview, predicted lineups
Brazil play Cameroon on Friday in FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 Group G as the tournament moves ahead finishing off the group stage. Brazil go into this game as the favourites.
Kick-off : 10:00 PM (Local)
Venue : Lusail Stadium, Lusail
Five-time world champions Brazil have already qualified for the knockout stages f this world cup and will look to end group stage in style. They will look to play their brand of football.
A Selecao’s defence have been a rock solid so far, churning out victories over European top teams Switzerland and Serbia. They have not conceded as of yet. Attacking wise they as ever have showed their flair.
Boss Tite will likely go with an attacking 4-3-3 system on Friday.
On the other hand, Cameroon have struggled a little over the course of the two opening fixtures and their progress to the next round remains uncertain. They must go for the unlikely win here.
The Indomitable Lions have showed weakness in defence and it needs to be addressed if they are to play Brazil. While they will Lok to hit the South Americans on the counter.
Manager Rigobert Song will likely go with a 4-3-3 formation.
Team news and possible lineups
Goalkeeper Andre Onana have found disciplinary action being taken against him and have flown back, so won’t be available. While Vincent Aboubakar is available and likely play.
For the Brazilians, Alex Sandro and Neymar are both injured and won’t be available. Also they would like to rotate the squad having been already qualified for the knockouts.
Brazil XI : Alisson, Militao, Marquinhos, Silva, Telles, Casemiro, Guimarães, Paqueta, Antony, Jesus, Vinicius Jr.
Cameroon XI : Epassy, Fai, Castelletto, Nkoulou, Tolo, Hongla, Anguissa, Kunde, Aboubakar, Choupo-Moting, Toko Ekambi.
Prediction
It should be a difficult game this one for Cameroon despite Brazil resting their main players. I expect A Selecao to trump Cameroon and eliminate them 2-0.
