ameroon are in need of a famous result against Brazil on Friday night if they are to have any hope of making the World Cup knockout stage.
Not since the days of Roger Milla have the Lions qualified from the groups at a World Cup and just a single point against Switzerland and Serbia leaves them requiring at least a win against the favourites in Qatar.
Few could say Brazil have been at their best so far but a pair of wins without conceding have booked their place in the last-16.
Only a point will be needed to confirm their position as Group G winners.
The question for Tite’s side is whether they can turn on the samba style to bank a statement victory and press home their claim to the throne.
Date, kick-off time and venue Cameroon vs Brazil is scheduled for a 7pm GMT kick-off on Friday December 2, 2022.
The match will take place at Lusail Stadium in Qatar.
Where to watch Cameroon vs Brazil TV channel: In the UK, the match will be televised free-to-air and live on ITV1, with coverage beginning at 6.15pm.
Live stream: Fans can also catch the game live online via the ITVX and ITV website.
Live blog: You can follow all the action on matchday via Standard Sport’s live blog, with expert analysis from Nizaar Kinsella at the ground.

Cameroon vs Brazil team news Andre Onana will miss the game for Camerooon after being suspended by his country amid a falling out with coach Rigobert Song.
Olivier Ntcham is an injury doubt and the key selection headache will be how best to deploy Vincent Aboubakar after his star turn off the bench against Serbia.
Neymar, Danilo and Alex Sandro are all unavailable for Brazil due to injury.
Eder Militao should continue to deputise at right-back with Alex Telles coming in on the opposite flank. Rodrygo may be trusted to start in the attack.
Cameroon vs Brazil prediction Although the Lions pulled off a fine comeback against Serbia, they are very much the underdogs in this game.
The scoreline really depends on whether Brazil throw off the shackles having sealed qualification or whether the absence of Neymar and their generally average displays in front of goal will be the key plotline.
A 3-0 Brazil win.
