Our prediction for this World Cup 2026 match:
Brazil will look to keep their 100% record at the 2022 World Cup finals intact when they take on Cameroon at Lusail Iconic Stadium. The Selecao proved their worth in a hard-fought 1-0 win over Switzerland, and they are seen as hot favourites to beat the Indomitable Lions as well. Neymar and Danilo are unlikely to be risked against Cameroon, while all Rodrygo, Gabriel Jesus, Bruno Guimaraes, and Antony should be recalled to the starting XI.
The African side, on the other hand, came from two goals behind to share the spoils with Serbia in their second group game, but they will have a much bigger fish to fry against Brazil. Since Cameroon struggle at the back, we predict that Tite’s troops are going to give fans yet another reason for celebration on Friday. Experienced attacker Vincent Aboubakar is widely expected to return to the starting XI after impressing in the draw with Serbia.
