The above table shows the fixture of both teams. The path to the playoffs is simple and straightforward, and both teams have to play well, attacking football, and go for the win. Serbia is in great form heading into the World Cup. They have won four out of their last five matches without any losses. On the other hand, Cameroon has been sluggish and poor in the games leading up to the tournament. They have lost three out of their last five games, with only one win against Algeria.
Things to watch out for
- This season, Aleksander Mitrovic has been in some sensational form in the English premier league. He is Serbia’s all-time leading goalscorer. His form will be brutal to contain, and the Cameroon defenders must be on top of their game to keep him quiet.
- Juventus striker Dusan Vlahovic has been in red-hot form this season for his club. His goalscoring abilities will be crucial for Serbia to qualify for the next tournament round.
- Bryan Mbeumo, who plays for Brentford in the premier league, made his full debut for Cameroon some days back in the warm-up match against Uzbekistan. The 23-year-old has been playing quality football in the premier league and has the potential to be their World Cup hero.
- The president of Cameroon football is now Samuel Eto’o. The ex-Barcelona striker aims to change the face of Cameroon football for good. He expects his team to produce results in the upcoming FIFA World Cup.
