Group G in the FIFA World Cup could bring some interesting news for all teams involved, even if Brazil have already made it to the KO Stage.
Serbia, Switzerland and Cameroon still have options to reach the decisive stage of the competition, with their last game representing a bit more difficulty in some cases. While Serbia and Switzerland will face each other with the second spot in the group up for grabs, Cameroon will try to pull off the shock of the tournament by beating Brazil.
First of all, let us have a look at the group prior to Friday's games.
Now, let us get to what each team needs as they are currently ranked.
Brazil
The Verdeamarelha side has already made it to the next round, but they need a point to secure the top spot with no questions asked. The team coached by Tite will have to make some changes ahead of this match, but even with those forced moves to their lineup, the South American side seems to be ready to end the group stage with a perfect record.
Switzerland
The Swiss enter their final group stage match with one win and one loss, both of them with similar one-nil scores. In order to reach the next round, the Nati would need to draw their match against Serbia, who have a better goalscoring record but who only have one point to their name. With that in mind, Switzerland may be able to reach the next stage with a single point...as long as Cameroon don't shock Brazil in the other fixture.
Cameroon
There are good and bad news for the African side. The good news come as they only need a win to keep their options of reaching the next round alive. The bad news have to do with the fact that the Indomitable Lions have to face Brazil to look for that win, something that they have only been able to do once in six games. If Cameroon want to reach the KO stage in the competition for the second time in this tournament, then they will have to pull an unthinkable win. Will they get motivated by the fair share of surprises we have had in the World Cup so far.
Serbia
The other European side in this lot has been deemed as the favorite to join Brazil in the next round, but they haven't been able to support that on the pitch. Four years ago, Switzerland eliminated them in similar circumstances, but this time, the Serbians seem to have the tools to claim the spot in the next round. Will they be able to get some payback?
