Cameroon’s coach Rigobert Song is expecting an “absolute scorcher” of a game against Brazil on Friday, a match he believes his victory-starved side is capable of winning having beaten the five-times World Cup winners before.
Winless at the World Cup since 2002, Cameroon are tied with Serbia on one point from their opening two matches and need to beat already-qualified Brazil in Lusail to stand a chance of reaching the last 16.

Brazil will field a different lineup against the African side, with the possibility of a game on Monday if they finish top of Group G.
“Cameroon have beaten Brazil before, yes. So it’s not completely out there,” Song said.
