Cameroon vs Brazil Betting Lines
Cameroon Needs Miracle
This is Cameroon’s eighth appearance at a World Cup and they came to Qatar keen to make an impression. The African side came from two goals behind to share the spoils with Serbia in their second group game, but they will have a much bigger fish to fry against Brazil.
Results in 2022 have been mixed under Rigobert Song and they now need a miracle in order to qualify in the knockout stages. With just one point picked up in two games, they must beat Brazil and they also need Serbia to beat Switzerland in the final game of the group.
After starting against Switzerland in the opening match in Qatar, the relationship between the main keeper Andre Onana and his coach was strained to the point of no return. The reason was the style of play. Song asked Onana not to come out of the box and to opt for long passes instead of relying on his technique to build the play from the back.
Onana got suspended by the Cameroon Football Federation and the goalkeeper was forced to withdraw from the World Cup in an unpleasant and abrupt way. His replacement, Devis Epassy, allowed three goals in the 3-3 draw against Serbia and will now face one of the best attacks at the World Cup. There’s no way we will include Cameroon in our soccer picks and parlays.

Brazil: Great Depth
Brazil’s opening 2-0 win over Serbia was far from pretty at times, with Tite’s team known more for its pragmatism and efficiency than its aesthetics. Brazil turned on the style in the second half of the clash with Serbia, with Richarlison making an impressive return from injury with two goals. However, Neymar limped off with an ankle injury.
The forward has struggled with ankle problems in the past and has been ruled out of the rest of the group stage. Defender Danilo also picked up an ankle problem during the game and will miss the match against Cameroon.
Still, Brazil has one of the best squads in the world, and no matter who starts on Friday, the Selecao should be able to pick up the three points and finish the group stage in style. Brazil proved their worth in a hard-fought 1-0 win over Switzerland, and they are seen as hot favorites to go all the way and lift the trophy.
If you’re betting online, you should also trust them. All Rodrygo, Gabriel Jesus, Bruno Guimaraes and Antony should be recalled to the starting lineup.

Cameroon vs Brazil Picks & Prediction
- Worth the Moneyline?
Brazil enters this clash as a heavy favorite priced at -285 on the three-way money line according to the latest soccer odds while Cameroon is priced at +750. The pre-tournament favorites have dazzled in spells and impressively denied both Serbia and Switzerland from testing their keeper. Barring a miracle in the last match of the group, Tite’s troops will advance into the last 16 as group winners and with maximum points. There’s no value in backing Brazil on the Moneyline so let’s focus on other markets.
- Worth the ATS?
Cameroon’s defensive struggles are well known. They allowed four goals so far in the tournament and their main keeper was suspended. They won’t cope with Brazil’s attacking firepower and they will definitely concede at least twice without scoring a goal. That’s why we expect the Selecao to cover the -1½ spread at -even money.
- Worth the Totals?
The goal line is set at three, a bit too high giving Brazil’s rock-solid defense. South Americans can be very pragmatic and there’s no need for them to push for more than two goals. Both Serbia and Switzerland recorded zero shots on target against Brazil, and Cameroon will probably be kept at bay too, so we’re taking the under.
