Cameroon will be representing Africa at the FIFA World Cup for the<\/a> eighth time, a record for an African team. That\u2019s also as many as Portugal has managed. They\u2019ll start off their journey against Granit Xhaka\u2019s Switzerland on the 24th, before facing Aleksandr Mitrovic & co. on the 28th. The Indomitable Lions\u2019 final group game will be against pre-tournament favourites Brazil on the 2nd of December, by which they\u2019ll hope to have bagged some points. It\u2019s not an easy group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Tough Group<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In fact, it is a tough group, with many labelling this as the Group of Death. According to Elo Ratings (a ranking model that uses historical ranking data), this is the deadliest Group in the tournament and the sixth deadliest group since 1970. Factors such as Brazil\u2019s Number 1 World Ranking and Serbia\/Switzerland being in the Top 25 in the World come into play, contributing to an average ELO rating of 1901 (Source: FuveThirtyEight).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Balanced Squad<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Having said that, Cameroon come into this with a balanced squad (age-wise). An average age of 26 is neither too young, nor too old. In fact, one could say they\u2019re at peak age. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How Can They Progress?<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

According to the experts (Opta & FiveThirtyEight), Cameroon have a 3% to 4% chance of winning their group, and a 12 – 16% chance of finishing second. Finishing second looks to be their best bet, and Rigobert Song\u2019s side will likely target the first two games for three or more points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Key Game: Switzerland<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Swiss are favoured to finish second, and if there is one game that will be key to progress, we think this is it. A win here will put the Indomitable Lions on the front foot, in particular given that their Brazil game is at the end. If Brazil have secured qualification by the time they face Cameroon, you can see a scenario where they rest players and qualification is still in Cameroon\u2019s hands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Key Player: Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

He may be 33 years old, but the Bayern Munich player comes into the tournament in good form. 10 goals in 10 is good enough return for any player, but particularly impressive for someone at Bayern Munich.<\/p>\n\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
