Switzerland vs Cameroon Prediction
Switzerland 2-0 Cameroon
Switzerland had a successful UEFA World Cup qualifying campaign, topping a group that included Euro 2020 champions Italy. The Swiss went unbeaten in eight games and only conceded two goals.
After a bit of a slump in Nations League where they lost three in a row, the Swiss have righted the ship, as they are on a three-game winning streak that includes wins against Portugal and Spain.
This is a well-organized side, led by players like Chelsea midfielder Denis Zakaria and Manchester City defender Manuel Akanji. It's going to be difficult for Cameroon to find a way to break them down.
Cameroon won their CAF qualifying group that also included Côte d'Ivoire. However, they've looked underwhelming in their recent friendlies, losing to both Korea and Uzbekistan while failing to score a goal.
This is a match that Switzerland needs to secure three points, as they have to compete with Brazil and Serbia. Switzerland are the more talented side and in better form right now, so look for them to get it done here.
Switzerland vs Cameroon Betting Tips
- Switzerland is coming off a Euro 2020 finish where they knocked off France and went to the quarterfinals.
- Cameroon is considered as a bit of a longshot to advance out of this group, currently at +250 to qualify.
- Swiss midfielder Granit Xhaka is having a terrific season for Arsenal, coming in at top form for the World Cup.

I think it's going to be difficult for Cameroon to find a way to score in this match, as Switzerland has been so impressive defensively.
While I like the Under as well, there's more value in taking Switzerland at -118 odds. They should find a way to break down Cameroon and secure a 1-0 or 2-0 victory here.
