Brazil is currently in first place after winning both matches. Regardless of the result of today's match, they will not challenge for a knockout entry. However, win could enter the knockout stages with three wins out of three and complete dominance. Brazil's top spot will only be threatened if they lose to Cameroon and Switzerland win over Serbia.
Otherwise, they will enter the group stage as the top seed. Brazil is currently coming without conceding a single goal. They haven't conceded a single shot on target in their last two matches. It is these figures that scare Cameron. Neymar Jr. is ruled out with an injury and will not play in today's match. Tite may make some changes in the first eleven from the team that entered the last match. A win, on the other hand, would keep Cameroon's knockout hopes alive. Even if they win, Cameroon's future will depend on the outcome of the Serbia-Switzerland match.
Bayern star Chopo Moting, Toko Ikambi and Mbuyomo are the forward players of the African team. In any case, it remains to be seen whether the Canaries will finish the group unbeaten or upset Cameroon fulfil their quarter's dream.
