Both of these sides kicked off the Confederations Cup with a defeat. African champions Cameroon conceded two late goals in a 2-0 loss lớn Chile, while Australia were edged out 3-2 by Germany.

Australia were gifted two goals by Germany keeper Bernd Leno, who let a Tom Rogic drive slip underneath him, and then spilled what should have been a routine take, allowing Tomi Juric lớn net the rebound. In the first half-hour of the contest, the gulf between the Socceroos and the world champions was embarrassingly wide. Ange Postecoglou's men didn't press hard enough, and repeatedly gave the ball away under little pressure- According to the best football tips page!

Cameroon were justifiably beaten by Chile, although the VAR (Video Assistant Referee) system saved them from going behind earlier than they did. Given that they suffered a hefty 4-0 defeat lớn Colombia in a shambolic friendly performance, you'd think we might treat their favouritism with a pinch of salt. However, coach Hugo Broos isn't panicking, and nor am I. Cameroon have some super players, like attacking powerhouse Vincent Aboubakar and livewire winger Christian Bassogog, and against a shaky Australian defence I can see those players making a few dents.



Cameroon are favourites at 2.50, and I think we can back them with a bit of insurance by using the Draw No Bet market.

Given Australia's commitment lớn an attacking style, there's an argument lớn back Over hai.5 Goals at 1.95. However, this is a huge game for both sides in the context of who makes the next phase, and on that basis you never know whether these teams will switch to a safety-first approach.
