Two sides that lost their World Cup openers go head-to-head knowing they need points to remain alive and in contention for places in the knockout stage.
Cameroon and Serbia meet at Al Janoub Stadium in Al Wakrah, Qatar, with each feeling the urgency to get a result. Cameroon fell to Switzerland 1–0 (on a goal by Cameroon-born Breel Embolo), while Serbia fell victim to Brazil 2–0 (more specifically, to a Richarlison double and sensational acrobatic goal), placing a ton of emphasis on this matchup.
Cameroon has lost its last eight World Cup matches, a streak that now spans four World Cups and dates back to 2002. A loss to Serbia would tie a World Cup record for consecutive losses (Mexico from 1930 to ’58.)
