Prediction for the match between Russia and Cameroon which will take place on October 12. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

The Russian national team continues to play friendlies, showing very mediocre results. Since their suspension from international competitions, the team has played eight such matches. Only once did they play at home, when they beat Iran 2:0 at the Gazprom Arena in St. Petersburg. Another victory was in the very first game against Kyrgyzstan - 2:1. In five more cases, a draw was recorded, including in the last battle with Qatar - 1:1, and the only loss was against Egypt U23 - 1:2. The coaching staff called up all the strongest players for the October matches, including Alexei Miranchuk and Alexander Golovin.

The Cameroon national team is the strongest of the teams that agreed to a friendly match against the Russians. Suffice it to say that at the World Cup 2022, the Lions not only took part but also managed to beat Brazil - 1:0, although they, at that time, were still considered the main favorites of the tournament. Alas, even this success did not help the wards of Rigobert Song get into the playoffs of the World Cup. After that, the Cameroonians successfully qualified for the African Cup of Nations, where they took first place in the group, and after two friendly matches, they will face an even more important event - selection for the World Cup 2026. The coaching staff has called up a very solid named squad for Moscow, with Andre Onana, Andre Dzambo-Angissa, and Jean-Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting standing out.

The Russian national team under Valery Karpin boasts good results in home matches. In total, there were five of them, in which they managed to win four victories with a total score of 11:0, and the only draw happened in the battle with Croatia, which is the medalist of the last two World Cups. The Russians have not been impressive in their last few away games, and now they have to face a powerful and athletic Cameroon team, but they should have every chance of success in Moscow. The Lions have only one success in their last five games: a 3:0 win over Burundi.

The Russian national team plays very hard in attack in away friendlies, but home games, including in the qualifying for the World Cup 2022, have been very productive in terms of scoring. In total, in the previous five battles at home, Valery Karpin's wards scored 11 goals (2.20 average per game). At the same time, the Cameroon national team does not have the most reliable defense: in the last two away games, they conceded two goals each from Namibia and Mexico.
