Though he played all 90 minutes against Mexico in the first match of the tournament, it looks like Samuel Eto’o will at least miss out on this match against Croatia due to an ongoing knee injury. Eto’o is Cameroon leading all-time scorer by a healthy 23-goal margin and he has three World Cup goals to his name.
Meanwhile Mario Mandzukic will play in his first World Cup match after skipping the Brazil loss to serve a red card suspension picked up during the qualifiers.
Cameroon will be try to amend their tactics and fight to finish with the Croatians. They know a loss here will mean an obvious exit for them. Croatia now knows that they need two wins to qualify and will not relax but instead come all and attack the African side. Cameroon being a physical side will be pushed to defend a fast paced Croatian side.
Verdict: Under 2.5 goals
