World Cup favourites Brazil take on Cameroon to round out Group G in Qatar and avoid another upset in an unpredictable tournament so far.

The Selecao will look to build momentum without Neymar, due to injury, although Tite will be eager to keep his squad fresh for the knock-out stage of the tournament.

“Brazil has 26 great athletes and a great team. Who will play? There’s Fabinho from Liverpool, Ederson from Manchester City, Gabriel Martinelli and Gabriel Jesus from Arsenal… There’s a lot of competition,” said Tite.

“I try to give them the best conditions to compete at the highest level, but I won’t go into depth to give you an answer. “I have to give the players a chance, prepare everyone. Our goal is for the players to feel valued. It is an opportunity for them to show all their quality.”

Prediction

Brazil could rotate here, but their strength in depth is vast and Cameroon’s need to get a result could force them out and leave the Selecao space to expose and thrive in. The backline’s rotation due to injuries is a slight concern, but the core of Alisson and centre-backs Marquinhos and Thiago Silva, marshalled by Casemiro in front, should enable another clean sheet. Cameroon 0-3 Brazil.
