Ahead of Thursday's World Cup meeting between Cameroon and Brazil, Sports Mole looks at how both squads compare, including their most valuable and top-scoring players.

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.

Here, Sports Mole looks at how the squads of Cameroon and Brazil stack up against each other ahead of Friday's matchup.
