Brazil hopes to take nine points from possible nine
As the number one favorites for the title, Brazil managed to reach or even succeed the expectations of them for the group stage. Just like Portugal, they are also eyeing to perfect their group stage with a win in this game. Before this game, they were able to have an impressive win against Switzerland in a score of 1-0. They are looking to take it up a notch in this game, which may give them their ninth point in the group. Despite not having their star Neymar Jr., they are still able to be as impressive as expected of them. This squad have yet to concede a single goal in their first two games.
Brazil are currently facing series of injury concerns for their squad. Their recent addition to their list of concern is Alex Sandro due to a hip issue. Neymar Jr. will still not play in this game, following his ankle injury. Despite this, the Brazilians are still confident they could pull of an upset here as they are a star-studded team. Some players may be opted to sit out in this game.
Cameroon hopes to stun Brazil
Currently in the third place of the group stage, Cameroon still eyes for the slightest chance of them qualifying for the next round. They are currently two points behind Switzerland, and a win in this match could put them at the second spot. During their match against Serbia, they had a stunning comeback, but defense have been their issue in that match. They are not doing well defensively, and they now need to address that if they want to continue their campaign. This team is hoping to capitalize playing against Brazil, who may not be as strong as they were in their previous matches.
Following a disciplinary measure due to a disagreement with their manager, Andre Onana was sent home and will not play for their remaining matches. Due to this, a more inexperienced Devis Epassy will be playing for the position Onana left.
