2022 World Cup: Cameroon vs. Brazil odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Friday’s Cameroon vs. Brazil odds and lines, with World Cup soccer expert picks, predictions and best bets.

In the final Group G group stage match, Cameroon (0 win, 1 losses, 1 draw) and Brazil (2-0-0) meet Friday at Lusail Iconic Stadium at 2 p.m. ET (FOX/Telemundo). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Cameroon vs. Brazil odds, and make our best World Cup bets, picks and predictions.

Cameroon steps onto the pitch with just 1 out of a possible 6 points, but still holding the potential to move on. It will take a miracle, as it needs to beat Brazil, but with Canarinho already through to the Round of 16, the Indomitable Lions have a shot. Cameroon also needs Switzerland to fall to Serbia, then it comes down to goal differential.

Brazil posted a 2-0 win over Serbia thanks to a pair of goals from F Richarlison, and M Casemiro bagged a goal at 83′ to break up a scoreless match against Switzerland on Monday. Brazil has been more than fine even with superstar F Neymar nursing an ankle injury.

Prediction

Brazil 2, Cameroon 1

Moneyline (ML)

Brazil (-260) will cost you more than 2 1/2 times your potential return, and that’s super expensive, especially since it has very little to play for.

Cameroon (+720) will have its foot on the gas, and it scored 3 goals last time out against Serbia. But it won’t come close to doing that here, even if Brazil plays reserves for a good chunk of the match. CAMEROON +2 (-133) is a strong play, as the Lions will be pushing hard, and it has shown a penchant for goal scoring.

Over/Under (O/U)

The OVER 2.5 (-135) is strong option.

Brazil is a gifted and deep group, and even the reserves are capable of scoring should they get the opportunity. Cameroon played strong defense in the opener, falling to Switzerland 1-0 in the opener. It played a very exciting 3-3 draw against Serbia last time out, and it showed it has the offense to get on the board when it plays more up tempo. That will certainly be the case here, as it is playing for its World Cup life.

2022 World Cup: Cameroon vs. Serbia odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Monday’s Cameroon vs. Serbia odds and lines, with World Cup soccer expert picks, predictions and best bets.

Cameroon (0 wins, 1 loss, 0 draws) battles Serbia (0-1-0) Monday. Kickoff from Al Janoub Stadium is set for 5 a.m. ET (FS1). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Cameroon vs. Serbia odds, and make our best World Cup bets, picks and predictions.

Serbia comes in as the favorite and has a 55% chance to win. However, they did lose their opener to Brazil 2-0, so this will be a must-win battle for both sides as each will play a top Group G competitor in their next game.

Serbia was dominated in all aspects of the game, being held to just 5 shots while giving up 23. Although it’s tough to criticize them too much leading into his battle as Brazil is among the tournament favorites.

Cameroon lost to Switzerland 1-0 in their opener. They actually ended the match with 49% of the possession, more shots on goal and shots than the Swiss.

The Cameroon attack is one led by F Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting. He has 19 goals in 70 caps and plays for Bayern Munich. Brentford F Bryan Mbeumo is another name to keep an eye on.

Prediction

Cameroon 1, Serbia 1

Moneyline (ML)

SPRINKLE DRAW (+270).

Cameroon is a strong underdog, but they have quality players from top leagues. Several from their midfield play in Italy, and many defenders are in France for their club ball. Cameroon also had the more convincing opening-round performance.

Cameroon had drawn 5 of 14 2022 matches coming into the World Cup and had as many opportunities as the Swiss, who rank 15th in the world. Serbia ranks 21st with Cameroon sitting 43rd.

Serbia was 6-2-1 in 2022 coming into the World Cup, but they had few meaningful competitions against top opponents. While it is a risk, the upside of Cameroon makes the DRAW (+270) a good value.

Over/Under (O/U)

BET UNDER 2.5 (-135).

This should be the safe play as neither team really showed an attacking prowess in their first game. Cameroon and Serbia combined for 5 shots on target and 0 goals.

Serbia didn’t even have a shot on goal and doesn’t necessarily have the lethal striking it will take to top the total. Cameroon has gone Under 2.5 goals in 6 straight matches as well.

Both teams went Under 2.5 in their opener and showed enough defensively to help make this the game’s best betting option despite the juice.

2022 World Cup: Switzerland vs. Cameroon odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Thursday’s Switzerland vs. Cameroon odds and lines, with World Cup soccer expert picks, predictions and best bets.

To open group stage play for Group G, Switzerland will take on Cameroon on Thursday with kickoff at the Al Janoub Stadium set for 5 a.m. ET  (FOX). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Switzerland vs. Cameroon odds, and make our best World Cup bets, picks and predictions.

Switzerland has only 3 wins in their last 9 games of the 2022 season and has scored just 9 goals in their 9 previous fixtures. However, those wins do speak for themselves since they beat teams like Portugal, Spain, and the Czech Republic. Switzerland is 15th in the FIFA rankings. 

The Swiss are always seen as an underdog team because they don’t have big names on the squad. However, one name that does stand out is M Granit Xhaka, who starts for Arsenal the top team in the EPL.

Cameroon is not the strongest team, but they made a strong run in AFCON and have won 7 games in their 2022 season so far. They are No. 43 in the FIFA rankings.

While only having an 18% chance to win this match, M Eric Maxim Copromoting, a Bayern Munich midfielder, will have something to say about that. The midfielder has 6 goals and 2 assists in 10 matches, which will put stress on the Swiss back line.

Prediction

Switzerland 2, Cameroon 1

Moneyline (ML)

PASS.

Both teams have capable attackers, but the Swiss have more experience in their lineup. While they are viewed as a dark-horse team, Cameroon is just as much an underdog as the Swiss.

Switzerland has not lived up to expectations this season, but again, they are the more competitive side, so I wouldn’t bet against the favorites here. A Draw (+260) does have some value as Cameroon should put up a reasonable fight. Nonetheless, I would pass here. 

Over/Under (O/U)

BET OVER 2.5 (+130).

This will be an offensive game since the Swiss let in 14 goals in 9 games and Cameroon has let in 14 in 14 games against much weaker competition. Cameroon has scored 19 goals in 14 games this season as well.

Cameroon and Switzerland both have 2 strong midfielders that could show up in a big way on the offensive end of the pitch. Considering the lacking defense and competence in the midfield, distribution should happen easily. 

The Swiss have scored 4 goals in their last 3 games and are going against a flimsy backline. Expect the Xhaka-led side to break through in this battle and score often.
