Cameroon takes on the visitors Australia at “Krestovsky Stadium” in the round two of the 2017 FIFA Confederations Cup’s Group Stage. The game will be played in Saint Petersburg on Thursday, June 22nd.
The Cameroonians come up to the forthcoming match in poor competitive form. The Africans lost two recent encounters: the friendly clash against Colombia with 0:4 scoreline and with 0:2 scoreline to Chile in the first gameweek of the Confederations Cup in Russia. Cameroon A-team conceded goals at 81 and 90 minutes of the match, but what is more crucial, it showed weaker football than the opponent. Consequently, there is very high possibility that the tournament will be finished for the Africans after the third round of the Group Stage.

The Australians were broken by the Germans in the first matchday with 2:3 scoreline, nevertheless, they demonstrated solid performance in the fight against the notable rival and had even chances to get a draw, even though they might be thrashed as well. Ange Postecoglou’s side proved that it was a though team that was quite able to bring sensation to the competition. Australia has great offense and if its defense manages to perform at the same level as attacking line then the Australians will be quite able to compete for the promotion from the Group B.
Cameroon and Australia have never met before. The Africans potentially are much stronger than the upcoming rival, however, the first clash at the tournament proved once again that Cameroon was not prepared quite well to the major competition, while the Australians left favourable impression. I believe that it is going to be a wide-open game as none of the opponents will be satisfied with a draw, consequently, both the Africans and the Australians will tend to score a goal.
Prediction for the match: Over 2.5 scored goals.
