Cameroon vs Serbia Prediction & Betting Tips - World Cup

Serbia had a gallant showing against tournament favorites Brazil, at least in the first half, and coming into this game, there’s little wonder as to why they are billed favorites by the bookmakers. The European nation is offered odds of 1.79 for a win while Cameroon, who had a timid showing against Switzerland, will go into this game with odds of 5.4 for a win. A draw in this game is offered at 3.9.

Cameroon started their campaign on a losing note, falling 1-0 to Switzerland, as Cameroonian born Breel Embolo scored the lone goal in the game. This result left them winless in the last five matches and it was their third loss in that run. Cameroon have failed to score in three of their last five matches and all of these five matches have produced under 2.5 goals. They managed just two goals in those five matches, the draws coming in matches against Jamaica and Panama. Though the African giants have conceded once in each of their last four matches, they haven’t had a great run defensively. Both teams have scored in four of their last eight matches, and they have just two clean sheets in the last 10 games. Cameroon have also managed only two wins in their last 10 matches. Their loss to Switzerland was the eighth straight suffered by a Cameroon team at the World Cup, and it was a fifth time in eight that Cameroon failed to score at a FIFA World Cup. In their last 17 World Cup matches, Cameroon have only managed one win, which came against Saudi Arabia in 2002. In competitive action, Cameroon have five wins in their last 10 matches, and they have managed just three clean sheets in the process. Serbia’s only meeting with Cameroon before this was back in 2010, where they beat Cameroon 4-3. Cameroon’s talisman, Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting was in that team and scored one of the goals. Serbia will be hoping to repeat that but with a greater focus on the defensive side. They are coming from a brave but fruitless showing against Brazil where they lost 2-0 in what was their first defeat in seven matches. They have three wins in the last four matches and will want to take inspiration from their opening half against the Brazilians. Serbia have failed to score in one of their last seven matches and have three clean sheets in the last 10. Three times in their last seven matches they’ve conceded more than a goal, while they’ve scored two or more in five of the last seven and both teams have scored in three of their last five matches. In competitive action, Serbia have managed just three clean sheets in the last 10. They will hope to better their World Cup record, having lost in eight of the last 10.
