Switzerland v Cameroon Odds: The Group Group G Fight

One of the most exciting groups in the 2022 Qatar World Cup is Group G. It features Brazil, Serbia, Switzerland and Cameroon. The bookies have backed Brazil to finish the group with top points. That means the “best of the rest” fight is on! In this article, we look at the most popular Switzerland v Cameroon odds for the first fixture.

In the Euro 2021 competition, Switzerland made headlines by knocking out the favourites – France – on penalties after a 3-3 draw. The A-Team look hungry to finish the group in one of the top-two qualifying positions. As for the five-time Afcon Champions, Cameroon, they also have a good chance of finishing second behind Brazil, knocking out European countries Serbia and Switzerland.

Can Switzerland Qualify from Group G?

One of the most exciting teams to watch in Group G is Switzerland. Whilst Brazil will take most of the spotlight, the Swiss national football side have been impressive in the build-up to the Qatar 2022 World Cup. In their last three competitive fixtures alone, they have recorded three victories against Portugal, Spain and Czech Republic.

The Swiss national side is captained by Arsenal leader Granit Xhaka and managed by Murat Yakin. Their best ever World Cup run was when they advanced to the quarterfinals on three separate occasions. One would not put it past them to advance to the knockout rounds should they beat Cameroon.

Have Cameroon got a Chance?

Of course, they have! Cameroon, captained by Vincent Aboubakar, are known as ‘Les Lions Indomptables’ in Africa. That stands for ‘The Indomitable Lions’ in English. One of the many characteristics that the world knows Cameroon for is their presence on a football field.

In their rich history, Cameroon have won the Afcon Cup five times. They have also claimed an Olympic Gold medal in 2000. And more notably, they are the most successful African team in the World Cup competition. They have qualified a record eight times and even reached the quarterfinals once. Sadly, for Cameroon, they were knocked out in extra-time by England in 1990.

Switzerland v Cameroon Odds: The Betting Markets

For Switzerland v Cameroon odds, there are a variety of betting markets to wager on. Players can bet on the outcome of the result, player and prop bets, European and Asian handicaps and so on. We give you an insight on a few popular bets for the match.

The Qatar 2022 World Cup will be the first time that Switzerland and Cameroon meet. The two nations will both be unfamiliar with each other, and this could lead to an exciting game. According to online sportsbooks in Qatar, Switzerland are the clear favourite to come out on top. The European side are given odds 1.76 from 20Bet to beat Cameroon. To bet on the African side, the odds would multiply by 4.84. The likely event of a draw pays out 3.38.

As the two teams have never met before, it is likely that they will either end in an uneventful stalemate or an exciting goals fest. Either way, the odds of both teams scoring a goal are 2.27. It is also possible to bet on which player will score and which team will receive more yellow cards.

A player to watch out for is the captain of the Swiss team, Granit Xhaka, who has already scored three goals in 13 Premier League appearances for the Gunner’s this season. However, it is more likely that Cameroon will end the match with more yellow cards than Switzerland.

To back the bookies but make up an exciting match, we look at one of the most popular and rewarding bets. If both teams score a Switzerland win, the odds are 4.75. That means a 2-1, 3-1, 4-1, 3-2, 4-3 victory all qualify. Essentially, Switzerland are more than likely to win this match, so you would be counting on Cameroon to score a goal.

The Bottom Line

The Switzerland v Cameroon odds reflect that the Swiss national team are the firm favourites to come out on top. Whilst it is possible to bet on player and team props, the unlikely scenario is that Cameroon do get anything out of this match. Switzerland has been tipped to finish second in the group, behind Brazil. Whilst Cameroon are assumed to finish bottom, behind Serbia.
