Why you should back Brazil
The Seleção have a dangerous goal scorer in Richarlison. The 25-year-old forward for Tottenham already has scored twice in Qatar, including the leading contender for the best goal of the tournament against Serbia. He has scored 19 goals in 40 appearances with the national team.
In addition, the Brazilians face a Cameroon side that will be playing without its top goalkeeper. Andre Onana, who plays for Inter Milan, entered the tournament as the team's No. 1 keeper, but he was dismissed from the team after a dispute with manager Rigobert Song after a 1-0 loss to Switzerland. Devis Epassy, who plays in the Saudi pro league, has been tabbed as Onana's replacement.
Why you should back Cameroon
The Indomitable Lions face a Brazil side that will be missing their best player, Neymar. One of the best – if not the best – players in the world, Neymar injured ligaments in his right ankle in the team's opening match against Serbia. He entered the tournament in fantastic form, ranking second in Ligue in both goals (11) and assists (nine).
In addition, Cameroon have a proven goal scorer in Vincent Aboubakar. The 30-year-old striker has 38 goals for the national team, which ranks third all-time. On Monday, with his team down 3-1 to Serbia, he came on for Cameroon and sparked the team with a goal and an assist to earn a 3-3 draw.
