Switzerland vs Cameroon Prediction & Betting Tips - World Cup
by Daniel Ngulu | in World Cup Predictions
Switzerland and Cameroon will be facing off in their opening game of Group G at the 2022 FIFA World Cup at Al Janoub Stadium in Al Wakrah on Thursday 24th November. This is a group that also has Serbia as well as tournament favorites Brazil, which makes this game a crucial one for both Cameroon and the Swiss. As Brazil are expected to top the group here, one of Switzerland and Cameroon will be hoping for a successful fight for second place. The Swiss have had questionable performances in their recent matches, but they rarely fail to show up in big competitions while Cameroon will be looking to leave an impression after missing the 2018 edition.

Switzerland - Cameroon: Form Analysis
Switzerland are coming from a 2-0 defeat at the hands of Ghana, continuing with a questionable run of form that has seen them lose five of their last nine matches. It will further worry them that they have managed just one clean sheet in those nine matches and that they’ve failed to score in three of the last six matches. Both teams have scored in two of Switzerland’s last three matches. However, with three wins in the last four matches, Switzerland should be high in confidence ahead of this game. They have beaten Portugal and Spain in two of those three wins. Switzerland’s three wins in the last four matches have all come in competitive matches and they should feel capable of kicking off with a win in their very first meeting with Cameroon. The African giants, Cameroon, are coming from a 1-1 draw with Panama in one of the two friendly games before embarking on their quest in this competition. That result marked a fourth straight winless outing for the Indomitable Lions as well as a failure to keep a clean sheet in each of the four matches. Both of their friendly matches in November ended 1-1 with the earlier result having been against Jamaica. In September they failed to find the net in their two friendly matches, losing 1-0 to South Korea and 2-0 to Uzbekistan. Cameroon had a very poor run the last time they played at a FIFA World Cup in 2014, losing all three group stage games. At the moment, they find themselves on a run of seven straight defeats in World Cup action. In fact, they have just one win in 16 World Cup games – against Saudi Arabia.

Switzerland & Cameroon Squad Analysis
Switzerland have one of the best attacking prospects in Europe as of now in Breel Embolo; the Monaco forward comes into this game having scored twice in Switzerland’s last three matches and on the back of a great start in Ligue 1, where he has seven goals in 15 matches. Embolo represents the youth of the team but they also have good depth in experience, with players like Xherdan Shaqiri set to play in his fourth World Cup competition. The former Liverpool man may not have the speed he used to terrorise defenders with but he has the skill, which Switzerland will certainly find useful. Top of the picks here will definitely be Granit Xhaka; another very experienced player who is also enjoying a good season with Arsenal. The midfielder was an early sub in Arsenal’s last game before the World Cup break but his fitness is not in doubt after featuring in the 2-0 friendly loss to Ghana. Cameroon, on the other hand, may come here without a lot of individual stars but Bayern Munich’s Eric Choupo-Moting will be the man in focus after a blistering run of form for his club side in the immediate buildup to the 2022 World Cup. He scored five goals in Bayern’s last five games and continued in that breath with a goal in the 1-1 draw with Panama. He will headline an attack that also has Vincent Aboubakar, who has proven to be reliable for Cameroon in recent months. Aboubakar scored eight times in the 2021 African Cup of Nations but he is yet to hit the target in his earlier four appearances in a FIFA World Cup.

Our Switzerland vs Cameroon Prediction
Switzerland are the favorites going into this game and picking them for three points will be the easier choice. They have however struggled to keep it shut at the back and facing a team with the in-form Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting, backed by Karl Toko Ekambi and Vincent Aboubakar will call for great awareness. Cameroon haven’t won a lot in recent matches; they aren’t the soundest in defence but they’ve had that one goal in them and will look to take advantage of Switzerland’s own defensive issues. Both sides scoring thus looks good here.
