Switzerland v Cameroon is another example of the diversity of teams in this year’s World Soccer Championships. And it is another fixture that has never been played before, competitively or friendly - so more excitement and new drama to be created!
Switzerland enters the tournament after pipping Euro Soccer champions Italy to the top of their qualifying group - so they are no pushovers. In fact, in recent years they have regularly been ranked among the top ten teams in the world.
Cameroon on the other hand are one of Africa’s most successful teams of all time. Players like Lauren, Samuel Eto’o, and Geremi have all pulled on the famous green jersey.
This has all the makings of a spectacular game to open the tournament. Keep reading for team news and odds.
Switzerland might just be one of the dark horses to go very far in this tournament. A bet on each way to win the tournament at odds of 80.0 is surely worth a bet, right?
Switzerland does not concede many goals at all. They only let in 2 goals in 8 qualifying matches - level with the masters of defending, Italy. And defending well is the first step to winning soccer matches, isn’t it?
Scoring goals has always been what has let them down and stopped them getting to the latter stages of competitions, but this year it might come together.
They scored 15 goals in just 8 qualifying games, though their form in the Nations League has been abysmal. They haven’t scored many and their defensive stability crumbled.
This game is a good low-scoring bet - perhaps even a gamble at a 0-0, which you can bet on Unibet at odds of 6.0. Or it might also be worth a bet on the Swiss to win to nil. But if you want to bet against the market, go for an over 2.5 goals result at odds of 1.6.
Or if you want to play it safe, you can bet on a Switzerland win at odds of 0.85 on Unibet.
Cameroon only lost 1 game in their qualifying group, winning the other 5 - a group that contained the Cote d’Ivoire.
They also beat a very good Algeria team after losing the first leg at home to make it to the World Championships, so they can handle pressure and know how to beat good teams when it counts.
You wouldn’t feel comfortable betting against this team performing well. You could definitely see them beating this Switzerland team - especially when they are in such poor form and struggle to score at the best of times.
Especially with the forward players this Cameroon team has got. The pace of Vincent Aboubakar and the skill and experience of Choupo-Moting are enough to terrify any team, let alone this slow and technical Swiss one.
Aboubakar to score and Cameroon to win will be a good bet and sure to be available at good odds with Unibet. A straight win at odds of 3.8 is definitely worth some thought. The draw is available at odds of 2.3.
