Cameroon vs. Brazil: How do both squads compare ahead of World Cup clash?

Cameroon vs. Brazil: How do both squads compare ahead of World Cup clash?

Cameroon and Brazil bring their respective group-stage campaigns of the 2022 FIFA World Cup to an end with a meeting at the Lusail Iconic Stadium on Friday.

Rigobert Song's men sit third in Group F with one point from two outings, meaning that anything less than a victory in their final group game would see them suffer an early exit.

Tite's men, on the other hand, have successfully booked their place in the last 16 and just need to avoid defeat in this one to qualify as group winners.
