In the match of the first round of the group stage at the Qatar World Cup in El Wakra, Switzerland will play against Cameroon.
SwitzerlandMurat Yakin's team played only one friendly match before its start at the World Cup, but at the same time played very strongly in the League of Nations at the end of September.
On November 17, in its control meeting, which took place in Abu Dhabi, Switzerland played far from the best match and lost to Ghana with a score of 0:2. Yakin's wards missed their balls in the second half of the match, it happened in the 70th and 74th minutes. At the same time, Switzerland showed itself very poorly in attack and for the entire match never struck the opponent's goal.
CameroonBut Rigobert Song's team managed to play two friendly matches before the World Cup.
On the ninth of November, Cameroon drew with Jamaica on its field in Yaoundé, the meeting ended in a draw with a score of 1:1. All the goals in this confrontation were scored in the second half of the match. The score in the match was opened by Jamaica in the 60th minute. Then Cameroon added and in the 74th minute Javal Kaiba equalized the score in the match.
On November 18, Cameroon drew with Panama in its second test match in Abu Dhabi, the meeting also ended with a score of 1:1. In this confrontation, all the goals were scored again in the second half of the match. Eric Chupo-Moting opened the scoring in the 48th minute. Next, Rigobert Song's team tried to play on the score, but missed already in the 55th minute. After that, there were a lot of substitutions in the match, which in the end did not help the teams score another goal.
ForecastIn this match, Switzerland is of course considered the bookmakers' favorite.
However, we see that now both teams are not in the best shape, and therefore we may not have the brightest game. We suggest that you bet less than 2.5 goals on the total.
