Scandal-hit Cameroon have to beat Brazil to stand any chance of going through to the last-16 with unbeaten South Americans through... but what time is kick-off? What TV channel is it on? What is the head-to-head record? And what is the team news?

Brazil are among a small handful of teams already into the last-16, and as such they have the luxury of freshening up their side for the final round of group matches. 

That luxury doesn't apply to Cameroon, who need to beat Brazil and hope Serbia can get a result off Switzerland. 

Cameroon kept their hopes of going through alive in a thrilling 3-3 draw with Serbia, in which they found themselves 3-1 down.

But they still have it all to do and given they have sent goalkeeper Andre Onana home in disgrace and Brazil have incredible depth, particularly in attack, it remains a tall order. 


Switzerland's game against Serbia kicks off at the same time with plenty of twists and turns expected in the conclusion to Group G.

Where is Cameroon vs Brazil being played?

Capacity: 80,000 Distance from Doha city centre: 10 miles 

This is the showpiece stadium for the tournament - and the one which will host the final.

The stadium only opened this year, very much behind schedule, with the design inspired by the 'interplay of light and shadow that characterises the fanar lantern'.

At the end of the tournament, most of the seats will be removed and donated to developing countries as the new £33billion city of Lusail 'will not need its own football stadium' after 2022.

It was the venue for Saudi Arabia's stunning upset of Argentina in the first round of matches. 

Location: Lusail

Stadium: Lusail Stadium

Lusail Stadium will host the final and it is the showpiece ground for this tournament in Qatar

TEAM NEWS

With Neymar already through to the last-16 there is the chance for boss Tite to rotate - and it has also lessened the blow of being without Neymar, who continues to be sidelined after picking up an injury in their first game.

Tite's side were hit with a sickness bug ahead of their Group G clash with Switzerland on Monday - which they won 1-0. As a result, Man United star Antony and several other players were ruled out of training. 

Antony has blamed the air conditioning inside the stadium for giving him and his team-mates 'a cough and a bad throat'. 

Brazil full-back Alex Sandro is also ruled out, adding to Brazil's woe. 

Cameroon squad

Goalkeepers: Devis Epassy, Simon Ngapandouetnbu.

Defenders: Jean-Charles Castelletto, Enzo Ebosse, Collins Fai, Olivier Mbaizo, Nicolas Nkoulou, Tolo Nouhou, Christopher Wooh.

Head-to-head record 

Having met six times before, this is a match-up that Brazil has dominated, winning five and losing just once.

That defeat came in a FIFA Confederations Cup match but when they last locked horns in a World Cup match, Brazil, who hosted that tournament, coasted to a 4-1 win thanks to a brace from Neymar, and goals from Fred and Fernandinho.
