Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting levelled the scoreline in the 66th minute with a nice finish from close range.
Cameroon created three big chances during the game with 2.29 expected goals. They had 13 shots with eight being on target. Cameroon needs a win against Brazil to qualify for the knockout stages. Aboubakar was key when he came on against Serbia as he got a goal and provided an assist. He will need to start to boost the attacking prowess of the national team.
Cameroon team news: All players are fit and available
Brazil got a 1-0 win over Switzerland in a tough match. Casemiro scored the only goal of the game in the 83rd minute as he smashed a half-volley into the far corner. Brazil had two big chances with 1.02 expected goals. The Selecao had 13 shots with five being on target as they secured all three points.
Brazil found it hard to break Switzerland's defence in the first half after their opponents played a deep block. Casemiro scored a wonderful goal and they won the game. Neymar is still out of the third game as he will be back for the round of 16. Brazil has been good during the World Cup but has found it difficult to break down low blocks.
Brazil team news: Neymar is out with an ankle injury. Danilo is out with an ankle injury.

This is a must-win game for Cameroon as they need a win to qualify for the knockout stages. Brazil on the other hand have qualified and will be looking to get maximum points in this game. Cameroon has scored a goal in three of their last five games in all competitions. Brazil has scored a goal in five of its last five games. I predict both teams will score.
Both teams have good attackers and can score a lot of goals. Cameroon played a 3-3 thrilling game in their last game. Two of the last four Brazil games have ended in over 2.5 goals. I predict over 2.5 goals
