The Swiss national team will play the first match at the World Cup with the Cameroon team. LiveResult.Ru gives a forecast for the game.
Switzerland
The Swiss national team at the previous World Cup withdrew from the group. In the first round, the Alpine team shared points with Brazil (1:1), after which they won a strong-willed victory in the game with Serbia (2:1). The Swiss missed the victory in the match with Costa Rica (2:2), but still came out of the group from second place. In the 1/8 finals, they met with the Swedes and lost to the opponent — 0:1. The Swiss national team made it to the 2022 World Cup due to the fact that they were ahead of the reigning European champions, the Italians, in the qualifying group. The team won five victories, drew three times and beat the opponent by two points. Italy later got into the play-offs and could not get to the World Cup.
Cameroon
The African national team did not take part in the previous World Cup because it did not qualify for the tournament. In 2010 and 2014, Cameroon competed at the World Cup, but in both cases was eliminated from the fight at the end of the group stage. The African team achieved the best result in its history back in 1990, when it reached the quarterfinals. On the way to the World Cup in Qatar, Cameroon beat the Algerian national team in the play-off matches. The first meeting in Douala ended with a victory of the opponent (1-0), and then Cameroon took revenge with the same score, after putting the squeeze on the opponent in overtime. The final score is 2:1. Cameroon got to the World Cup thanks to the away goal rule.
Statistics and figures:
- Switzerland is the favorite of the match according to the bookmakers.
- The European team has won three consecutive victories.
- Cameroon has not won a single victory in the last three meetings.
- Previously, the teams had not met with each other.
Forecast
I believe that the Swiss will start the World Cup with a winning result. I doubt that Cameroon will take away points from the opponent.
