Switzerland vs Cameroon Prediction and Betting Tips | November 24th 2022
Switzerland will face Cameroon at the Al Janoub Stadium on Thursday in their opening 2022 FIFA World Cup game.
The A-Team enjoyed a brilliant qualification campaign, going undefeated in their eight games and finishing atop the group table with 18 points. They were beaten 2-0 by Ghana in a friendly clash last time out and will be looking to bounce back here after a sub-par performance against the Black Stars.
Switzerland went unbeaten in the group stages of the 2018 World Cup and will be looking to replicate that this year.
Cameroon also performed well in their World Cup qualifiers, pipping Ivory Coast to the top spot in their group with a 1-0 win over the Elephants. They then locked horns with Algeria in the playoffs, winning the two-legged tie on away goals.
The African side have been knocked out of the group stages in their last five World Cup appearances and will hope for better luck this time around.

Switzerland vs Cameroon Prediction
Switzerland's latest result ended a run of three consecutive victories and they will be looking to bounce back here. They have won just one of their last six games away from home and while they could struggle here, the Swiss are the clear favorites to win on Thursday.
Cameroon head into the World Cup on the back of a four-game winless run and will be desperate to end that streak here. They could, however, see defeat against stronger opposition this week.
Prediction: Switzerland 1-0 Cameroon
