Cameroon and Serbia seek to stay alive in Qatar

After two defeats in their debut, the second day of the World Cup forced them to add

MADRID, 27 Nov. (EUROPA PRESS) -

Cameroon and Serbia meet this Monday (11.00) in the second day of Group G at Al Janoub Stadium, a duel with a final flavor for both after losing in the debut, needing to add to stay alive in the World Cup in Qatar.

The African team fell (1-0) against Switzerland while the European team did (2-0) against Brazil. The second chapter comes with the split group and with two direct duels above and below. In the morning session, Serbia is a favorite on paper, but they will have to wake up their figures against 'Indomitable Lions'.

Dragan Stojkovic's men had to dance with the ugliest, a World Cup debut against the powerful Brazil. All in all, the Balkan team stood up to the five-time champion for 60 minutes, until Richarlison signed a high-quality double.

Serbia, a candidate for 'covered' in Qatar 2022, is now on the ropes and forced to score, best of three, in a second game that needs the best version of Dusan Vlahovic. The one from Juventus reached the World Cup after overcoming an injury and came off the bench last Thursday, but the 'final' claims him.

On the other hand, that condition of possible surprise was earned by Serbia due to many more names that will have to step forward such as Aleksandar Mitrovic, Dusan Tadic, Nemanja Guldelj, Sergej Milinkovic-Savic or Filip Kostic. Stojkovic's men aspire to stay alive in their dream of passing the group stage for the first time.

In 1990 Cameroon reached the round of 16, an achievement that began to get complicated against the Swiss, thanks to a solitary goal from Cameroonian native Breel Emboló. The African team was better in the first half, but the fair goal after the restart gave Switzerland wings.

Those of Rigobert Song, coach since February, have in their hands to change the losing streak in World Cups since that only presence at the crossroads. Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting is the best player of the 'Indomitable Lions' and in him will be a large part of the African hopes of being able to roar even in the last day.
