Switzerland World Cup 2022 Preview

The Swiss once again have a very interesting team with great potential. The central midfield in particular, where Xhaka, Zakaria and Sow run their circles, is something to look forward to.

Other top players with experience at major events include Embolo, Shaqiri, Elvedi and Mbabu.

However, the best players for the Swiss are probably the goalkeepers. Yann Sommer of Borussia Mönchengladbach continues to be the number one goalkeeper and has already shown in the past, for example in the round of 16 of the last European Championship against France, that he is one of the best in his field. Mvogo is another highly talented keeper.

---

The Swiss have had their fair share of problems in their recent games and coach Murat Yakin experimented a lot, which is why they played poorly until June, failing to win five games in a row.

After that, however, the tide turned and Switzerland won against Portugal, Spain and the Czech Republic, which is quite remarkable. The team played very direct and efficient, scoring five goals from a combined 2.90 expected goals in those three games.

In addition, the Swiss have already proven several times that they can deliver special performances at major tournaments.

Cameroon World Cup 2022 Preview

Cameroon’s preparations for the tournament are not going as well as they could have. Immediately after the Africa Cup in spring 2022, where they finished third as hosts, a new coach got presented. The new boss, Rigobert Song, has only led the team to five international matches, only one of which was won after 90 minutes.

However, they also beat Algeria after extra time in the playoff for World Cup qualification. It was definitely the most important victory for the new team boss so far.

However, Cameroon has not yet found a regular formation. Song has experimented a lot in recent games, trying both a three-man and a four-man backline, playing in a 4-4-2 and a 4-3-3.

---

The Africans were hardly convincing, however, and there were two setbacks in the international matches in September. They lost 2-0 to Uzbekistan, where they struggled to create quality chances. They were largely without a chance in the subsequent 1-0 defeat to South Korea, although the Asians did not play well either.

Cameroon’s star players are clearly to be found on the attack: Lyon’s Karl Toko Ekambi, Brentford’s Bryan Mbeumo and captain Vincent Aboubakar, who now plays for Al-Nassr FC, are the biggest stars on the team.

However, the team has problems using these players. The Cameroonians have deficiencies in the build-up to the game and in central midfield in particular, and it is hard to imagine that they will be able to remedy these by the start of the tournament.

Switzerland – Cameroon Over Under Tip

Cameroon know that they are outmatched by the Swiss, especially tactically and in the center of midfield. Therefore, the Cameroonians will be eager to get deep behind the ball with their defensive midfield and keep the spaces tight.

For the Swiss, who will thus have a lot of possession, this could be an exhausting affair against the physically strong opponent.

There is not much to suggest that this match will be a spectacle. Due to the deficiencies in their play, Cameroon will not contribute much creatively to the game. The Swiss, on the other hand, currently feel more comfortable when they don’t have to actively search for solutions.

Therefore, it could be 0-0 for a long time here and in general we assume that not many goals will be scored. Our Switzerland Cameroon Over Under tip is therefore an “under 2.5”, which means a maximum of two goals will be scored in this match.

Switzerland – Cameroon Match Prediction

The odds of @1.80 on Switzerland to win are quite attractive, because Cameroon is clearly not as strong as in previous tournaments.

The quality – especially in the midfield – speaks for Switzerland and once the European representative leads, it will be very difficult for Cameroon to get back into the game.

We are betting on a Swiss victory because the statistics clearly favor Murat Yakin’s team. Switzerland enter the tournament with a successful track record, while Cameroon are still in a phase of self-discovery.

It is not even foreseeable in which formation Rigobert Song will send his team on the pitch.

Switzerland – Cameroon Correct Score Bet

Even though we expect Switzerland to win, we don’t think it will be a clear victory. Especially in the first match of a World Cup group stage, both teams don’t know exactly where they stand and the Swiss will be highly satisfied even with a minimalistic victory.

Even the closest result will make Switzerland happy, especially since the two more difficult games against Brazil and Serbia are still on the schedule.

We bet on a 1-0 for Switzerland, who will simply have the longer breath in this match and should perform more homogeneously across the different team parts than Cameroon.
