This first-ever meeting between these two teams will take place in Al Janoub Stadium. Switzerland, ranked 15th in the world, followed four defeats and a draw in five games, with recent wins against Portugal and the Czech Republic, and ended Spain’s four-year unbeaten run at home. The Indomitable Lions, whose recent outings included a disappointing 2-0 defeat to Uzbekistan, sit 43rd in the FIFA rankings.
Cameroon has probably the fewest injury concerns of any of the competing nations. Switzerland’s first-choice goalkeeper, Yann Sommer’s ankle problem is the major concern for the A-Team. Perhaps Cameroon’s best chance of causing an upset is from a set-play, which has been a valuable source of goals for one of the taller teams in the tournament.
