Cameroon vs Brazil Match form
Brazil have won both games they have played in Qatar 2022 so far, Cameroon lost to Switzerland in their opening game, and played out a draw with the Serbs.
Players to watch
Gabriel Jesus is expected to get his chance from the starting line-up, with Richarlison due for a rest after Brazil are confirmed in the round of sixteen, the Arsenal number 9 would want to prove to Tite he should be starting over his North London rival.
Vincent Aboubakar came off the bench against Serbia to showcase one of the best performances at the world cup so far. He should be getting the nod to start from the first minute of the game for the first time all tournament. If his performance against Serbia is anything to bank on, the Brazilian defenders are up for a tasking outing.
