Rabat – On Thursday at Al Janoub Stadium in Doha, Qatar, Cameroon and Switzerland will meet for the 1st time in this World Cup event.
The game will begin at 11:00 a.m. Moroccan time. The World Cup draw placed both teams alongside Serbia and Brazil in Group G, which is anticipated to be a competitive group.
Since their first match against Germany in 1996, Switzerland has won all their subsequent World Cup openers and has not lost since.
Opta Analyst’s data indicate that Cameroon’s odds of winning are 18%, while Switzerland’s odds are 56.5%. Despite this, the data revealed that the game would still end in a draw with a 25.5% chance.
The Swiss team aims to advance to the World Cup’s knockout stages. It will be their third World Cup appearance, following their trips to Brazil in 2014 and Russia in 2018. Since their first World Cup appearance in 1982, Cameroon’s most successful campaign was in 1990, when they won three games and advanced to the quarterfinals.
Media source Reuters cited mentor Murat Yakin saying the Swiss group is the “best that always existed.”
Since winning the Africa Cup of Nations, Cameroon has only won one of their last five matches, indicating that the team’s form has deteriorated. The victory came against Burundi, which is currently 141st.
Cameroon has qualified for the World Cup eight times, including this year’s competition, more than any other African nation. Switzerland has qualified for the tournament 12 times.
It may be a surprise that Switzerland’s football coach Murat Yakin, who has taken over for former coach Vladimir Petkovic, is absent from the field after leading the team to four consecutive international tournaments.
