SUI vs CMR Match Preview
It will be the first official international meeting between Switzerland and Cameroon.
While Switzerland lost only once out of 17 games (excluding the penalty shootouts) in 2021, they had a poor start this year as they failed to win their first five matches (four defeats). However, they finished the Nations League really well by claiming one win each against Portugal, Spain and Switzerland. Just before the World Cup, Ghana beat them in a warm-up game.
Cameroon are returning to the World Cup after missing the 2014 edition. In the Africa Cup of Nations 2021, which they hosted early this year, the home team finished as the third-best team. The Indomitable Lions didn’t win any of their last four games where they drew the last two games.
