World Cup Group G teams

Brazil

After the Selecao defeated Peru in the 2019 Copa America final on home soil, the former Corinthians coach helped lead them to their first Copa America championship in over a decade. Brazil then had an excellent World Cup qualifier, winning 14 of their 17 games to finish first in the CONMEBOL qualification. The team’s many English Premier League players will be crucial if they want to win it all in Qatar. Liverpool’s Alisson and Manchester City’s Ederson are the two top goalkeepers in the starting lineup, so it is understandable that Tite has found it difficult to decide who should start.

Despite having excellent midfielders and defenders, Brazil’s five-time world champions actually possess an embarrassment of talent at the attacking end of the field. In addition to the incredibly talented Neymar, Brazil is bolstered by Vinicius Jr., one of the top young players in international football at the moment. Brazil seems to have what it takes to end a 20-year World Cup title drought. Expectations will be high in Qatar, and if everything goes as expected, Tate’s side could be unbeatable.

Serbia

Serbia subsequently lost to Denmark and Norway, although their Nations League games in June included a win against Slovenia, whom they beat 4–1. While Brazil is predicted to win World Cup 2022 Group G, Serbia will be betting on their chances of finishing second, beating Cameroon and Switzerland.

Serbia can rely on the immense strength of their all-time leading scorer Aleksandar Mitrovic and Juventus striker Dusan Vlaovic, who has been in top form this season, in addition to a star-studded squad in every position. They will seek revenge for the loss to the Swiss in 2018 that prevented them from advancing to the Round of 16.

Switzerland

Switzerland can beat almost any team in the world of football on their best day. They have a number of match-winners who can make the difference in matches on the attacking end, and a rock-solid defense to rely on.

Shaqiri, who has often been a game-changer in previous years, is a somewhat fading force, raising concerns about the squad’s aging structure. However, thanks to new stars like Djibril Tso and Mbolo who have emerged recently, everything is now conceivable for their permanent overachievers.

Cameroon

Cameroon will enter the World Cup with renewed energy after missing out on the 2018 competition, hoping to reach the knockout rounds for the first time since 1990. Gunn has turned Cameroon into a team that is tactically difficult to beat, relying on defensive tenacity. Gunn was a former West Ham United and Liverpool player.

Given their qualification at the Africa Cup of Nations and a respectable performance last year, a result of that scale could give the Indomitable Lions plenty of confidence going into the competition this winter. They have an impressive squad with attacking threats led by Internazionale’s Andre Onana, Napoli’s Andre Anguissa midfield general and captain Vincent Aboubakar and Bayern Munich’s Eric Maxim Choupo-Motting.
