Switzerland vs Cameroon Betting Lines
Switzerland: Consistency is Key
Switzerland enjoyed a great 2021, reaching the Euro 2020 quarterfinals before a penalty shootout exit to Spain and finishing ahead of Italy in their World Cup qualifying group to reach Qatar automatically and avoid the playoffs. The Rossocrociati were producing a fine display in the last UEFA Nations League window, with the team beating both Spain and Portugal in the process.
The Swiss head coach has named a 26-man squad for the event in Qatar. Arsenal’s Granit Xhaka has captained Switzerland on many occasions and is likely to lead his team in this first clash with Cameroon. The Swiss will be thrilled for the World Cup to start. They are in great form and they hope that they can carry forward this momentum.
Switzerland may have lost their warm-up friendly against Ghana last week, but they have a well of World Cup experience to draw from and they should be able to get off to a positive start in Qatar. They have made it past the Group Stage in four of their last five World Cup appearances, but they were drawn into a tough group with Brazil, Serbia and Cameroon so we won’t include them in our soccer picks and parlays.
Cameroon: Strong Squad
Cameroon made it to the knockout phase just once in seven appearances, which came all the way back in 1990 in the Roger Mila era. They missed out on the 2018 World Cup but their previous two appearances, in 2014 and 2010, saw them lose all three group games on each occasion and they face a decent Switzerland side in good form.
Not only has any African team ever lifted the World Cup, but not a single squad has gone past the quarterfinal stage. Cameroon will surely rely on in-form Bayern Munich attacker Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting, with Napoli midfielder Andre-Frank Zambo Anguissa being expected to play an important role in Rigobert Song’s team.
The team defeated Algeria in the final stage of qualification to get into the World Cup. Recent warm-up friendlies against Panama and Jamaica, both of which ended 1-1, have been proof that the Indomitable Lions could have found their scoring form ahead of their World Cup opener against Switzerland. If you’re betting online, don’t think about backing Cameroon to win on Thursday but expect them to find the back of the net.

Switzerland vs Cameroon Picks & Prediction
- Worth Betting on the Moneyline?
Switzerland enter this clash as favorites being priced at -135 on the three-way moneyline according to the latest soccer odds while Cameroon are priced at +425. We expect Switzerland to kick off their campaign but there’s no value in backing them. You should wait for the match to start and bet live at better odds. There is no history between the two teams, and despite the fact that Switzerland recently lost to an African opponent, they should pick up the three points.
- Worth Betting Against the Spread?
Recent form and experience tips the scales slightly toward the European nation. They made it to the Round of 16 in the past two editions of the competition, while their counterparts could not even qualify to take part in Russia in 2018. Still, the spread is set at -½, with the same price of -135, so we will avoid it.
- Worth Betting the Totals?
The goal line is set at two with the over being priced at -135. We think that this specific World Cup will have the most goals in its history because the players are in midseason with their clubs and they are in top shape. This match will follow the same path so we’re all over this bet. On top of that, if the game ends with just two goals, your bet will push and you will receive your stake back.
SCORE PREDICTION: Switzerland 2, Cameroon 1
