Intro
Another international friendly today between to big figures in this up and coming World Cup finals. Portugal being tipped as outside favourites to win and Cameroon are always one of the world cups usual suspects from Africa.
Portugal are going into the worlds toughest group with 5 times champions Brazil and strong African side Ivory Coast to compete against for a place in the 2nd Phase. A win here to day will gear Portugal up for there opening match against Ivory Coast.
Cameroon are entering the competition in a couple of weeks in another tough group with championship hopefuls Netherlands, the usually strong Denmark and the struggling Japan. A good performance today would make the Cameroonian team feel they can fight very well in that fight very well in that group and come out into the second phase of the competition ready to fight on further.
Form
Portugal: WWWWWD
Cameroon: WDLDDD
Portugal have had a very easy run of games to get to the tournament finals playing Bosnia, Malta, China, Hungary and beating them, then came the lowest ranked team they have faced in a while Cape Verde where they put out a strong side but were unable to put the ball in the back of the net.
Cameroon managed to pull them selves level against Slovakia at the weekend and previous to that managed to hold Italy & Georgia to 0-0 draws.
Odds
Portugal 4/7 Draw 11/4 Cameroon 5/1
Cameroon are good value at 5/1 but i just can't see Portugal letting them beat them today after that humiliating performance against Cape Verde last week Portugal will be going out there to set the record straight and go into this world cup showing that they mean business and 4/7 is a more than fair price for them to do that. Maybe even look at Portugal really stuffing Cameroon tonight in which case look at something like Portugal (-2) at 5/1
Other good bets to look at:
Portugal to win and over 2.5 goals - 13/8
Double Result - Portugal/Portugal - 29/20
