Switzerland vs Cameroon Betting Odds, Tips, Predictions, Preview 24th November 2022

Switzerland and Cameroon kick off their World Cup campaign, when they face off in the first round this coming Thursday at Al Janoub Stadium.

This is the opening match of the group stage for Switzerland and Cameroon with both aiming to secure a good start to the tournament standings. Everyone knows this could be pivotal for a strong tournament. Switzerland take on Cameroon as number 15 in the FIFA world ranking, whereas the visitors sit as number 43 in the world.

Switzerland are expected to at least challenge for a place in the next round. Seeing them go deep is perhaps a stretch, but qualifying in second place would not be a big upset.

Only once did Cameroun actually manage to get through the group stages in a World Cup. It would be a big surprise to see them achieve this feat once again in a group with such strong contenders.

Tournament Overview

We expect Switzerland to land a win in their World Cup opener, just like the bookies. We are also aware though, that they are not in for a walk-over, and they'll need to on their toes. They have a knife to their throat at the first time of asking, as Cameroon are presented with a big hurdle to climb in their first outing at the World Cup. They'll do well to simply minimize the expected defeat.
