Cameroon v Australia Betting Preview – Confederations Cup 22nd June

The loser of this one will likely pick up the wooden spoon in the group after both of these lost their opening games in the tournament. This is the best chance for both at winning a game at the Confederations Cup and therefore it should be a good open game. Australia scored a couple past Germany in a great effort in their opener, while Cameroon fell to the powerful Chile side.

Cameroon v Australia Betting Tips

Well, this is going to be nothing more than a scrap to avoid with the wooden spoon in the group. They both lost their respective opening matches in the group with Cameroon lucky to not get beaten by more than a 2-0 scoreline by Chile. Cameroon have now fallen to three defeats in their last four matches and they have scored just the two goals in that sequence sot the African champions are not in great form. They don’t look to have a lot of punch going forward, but both teams to score may be worth a flutter because both of them know that this is their best chance of winning a match in the group before going home. Both teams to score at bet365 is a price of 3/4. Up in the anytime goalscorer market, Cameroon have Vincent Aboubakar at 13/8 as the shortest priced option. Cameroon have only won one of their last six and just twice in twenty games, they aren’t going to be trusted but will face a poor Australia back line.

Australia’s defence looks as if it will give up plenty more goals before this tournament is done and over 2.5 goals at bet365 is a quote of 19/20 and the Socceroos have managed one clean sheet in eight only. Australia Have now lost four Confederations Cup matches on the trot and are one away from equalling Saudi Arabia’s streak of five, but they remain a long way back of New Zealand’s record eight match losing streak in the tournament. After their 3-2 loss to Germany in their opener, with the goals from the Socceroos making the match look closer than it was, the Aussies haven’t won a match in the tournament then since they beat Brazil for third place back in 2001. But then they have won nine of their last 15 games against sides ranked between 42nd and 62 in the world and Cameroon sits in the middle of all that at 52nd. So it’s reasonable to expect them to have a go at this one.

Cameroon v Australia Predictions

Cameroon to win: There may not be too much to split these two but the difference maker could be the defence of Australia which is just that bit worse than Cameroons. Look for both teams to score though in a win for the African champions.
