After watching a couple huge upsets already in the opening days of the group stage, nothing is off the table for any team for the rest of the tournament. On paper, Switzerland should walk away with all three points but as we've already seen from Saudi Arabia and Japan, the underdogs can come in with something to prove and turn any given match on its head. Cameroon boasts some solid players such as Bayern Munich's Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting, Lyon's Karl Toko Ekambi, and Brentford's Bryan Mbeumo. All have experience playing in top flight domestic leagues and should be up to task of playing Switzerland.
Switzerland brings some stars of their own with the likes of Arsenal's Granit Xhaka, Chicago Fire's Xherdan Shaqiri, and Augsburg's Ruben Vargas to name a few. They boast a solid defense that could make for a good matchup against a Cameroon side that's looking to escape the group stage for the first time since 1990. A draw seems like a reasonable result between the two sides and comes in at a great value at +260 on the board.
