Cameroon vs Serbia: World Cup 2022 prediction, kick-off time, team news, TV, live stream, h2h, odds today

Cameroon and Serbia clash in a crucial World Cup showdown this morning.

Both these sides opened their respective campaigns in Qatar with defeats in a competitive Group G, with the Indomitable Lions unlucky to be narrowly bested by Switzerland thanks to Yaounde-born Breel Embolo’s goal shortly after half-time in Al-Wakrah.

Serbia, meanwhile, drew the short straw of having to begin against five-time winners and favourites Brazil, frustrating the star-studded Selecao for long periods before succumbing to a second-half Richarlison brace that included a terrific acrobatic volley.

Cameroon vs Serbia prediction

Neither of these sides played particularly badly in their respective openers, with Cameroon starting well against Switzerland and having decent chances through the likes of leading striker Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting, Brentford’s Bryan Mbeumo and Martin Hongla.

However, they lacked end product and that proved their undoing in an eighth successive World Cup loss.

Serbia were on a bit of a hiding to nothing against Brazil, looking to deny their illustrious opponents space and counter, and did at least manage to keep the door shut until past the hour mark in Lusail.

However, they have far more flair and options in attack than to be that passive going forward again and will surely look to exert more control against Cameroon with additional firepower while keeping that defence solid.

I sense there are a couple of goals in this, but likely resulting in a hard-fought draw that keeps both sides alive but probably does little to advance their qualification hopes, boosting Switzerland’s hopes instead.

1-1 draw.
