Cameroon will face Brazil in their last match in the group stage today at 1 pm Bangladesh time at Lucille Stadium. Brazil has already confirmed the last sixteen of the World Cup by winning the first two matches.

 

 For Teeter's team, the match is just a game of regulation. But the group champion or runner-up — that counts. That will determine the opponent in the last sixteen. Cameroon's last sixteen is yet to be confirmed. This match is a life-and-death battle for the African team. You have to win against Brazil, you have to watch Switzerland-Serbia match as well.

 

However, looking at the statistics of past encounters before this match against Brazil, Brazil will be disappointed. Cameroon have faced Brazil twice before in the World Cup and did not win once. Brazil first faced Cameroon in the group stage of the 1994 World Cup, winning 3–0.

 

 Romario, Marcio Santos and Bebeto scored for the Latin American team in that group stage match. After 20 years in the 2014 World Cup, Brazil faced Cameroon again in the group stage. Brazil won the match 4–1 thanks to a brace from Neymar and goals from Fred and Fernandinho.

 

Brazil have faced Cameroon four other times outside of the World Cup. Two of these are friendly matches, while the other two matches are in the FIFA Confederations Cup. The hosts won 2–0 in a friendly in Brazil in 1996. Then came a 2–0 win in the 2001 Confederations Cup. But Brazil lost 1–0 to Cameroon in the 2003 Confederations Cup. In 2018, however, Brazil won the friendly match 1–0. In other words, Brazil has lost only once in six matches against Cameroon. Won the remaining five matches.

Then in the 1994 World Cup, he scored 3 goals against Cameroon, and in the 1998 World Cup, Morocco also scored 3 goals. Brazil also beat Ghana 3–0 in the 2006 World Cup.
