Switzerland vs Cameroon - 24.11 - Predict for the Match
On Thursday, November 24, at Al-Wakrah Stadium in Al-Wakrah, Qatar, there will be a match between the representatives of Group G, Switzerland and Cameroon. In general, given that the other two teams in the quartet are Brazil and Serbia, we should expect a tense confrontation in each of the matches.
The Swiss national team is a strong and unpredictable opponent. Thanks to 5 wins and 3 draws, the national team managed to qualify for the 2022 World Cup from the first place in their group, leaving behind not someone there, but Italy. At the same time, in 8 matches, the Swiss scored 15 goals with only 2 conceded. As for the squad of the Swiss national team, it doesn’t lack well-known players: Granit Xhaka, Breel Embolo, Yann Sommer, Denis Zakaria and a number of other players represent the top leagues in Europe.
Among the African teams, it was Cameroon that participated in the main stages of the World Cup a record 7 times. Qualifying for the current World Cup was not without difficulty for the team, which took first place in the group stage only after a minimal victory over Côte d'Ivoire in the decisive round and with difficulty defeated the Algerian team in the qualifying play-offs. Note that the team has quite good players, starting with Andre Onana, the goalkeeper of Inter Milan, and ending with Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting from Bayern Munich, who is showing himself well after Robert Lewandowski had transferred to Barcelona.
Strong rivals in the group represented by Brazil and Serbia will force both teams to fight for points, but the chances of Switzerland are objectively higher: the national team has been showing a stable game lately, unlike Cameroon. Our prediction is a narrow victory for Switzerland. You can also consider "Both Teams To Score — No".
