Croatia can feel aggrieved after their game with Brazil, with a disputed penalty given against them. On top of this, they had a goal disallowed which should have been allowed to stand, whilst Brazil were rather fortunate to have Neymar still on the pitch after he should have been sent off for a forearm in the face to Luka Modric, with Neymar going on to grab a brace for the host nation.

Croatia welcome back star striker Mario Mandzukic in this match and he could well make the difference against a Cameroon team who did not defend particularly well against Mexico. Mandzukic will look to feed off the balls played by Luka Modric and Ivan Rakitic, whilst looking to connect from crosses from Perisic and Olic, for our first Croatia v Cameroon prediction we are with Mandzukic to score first at odds of 9/2 with Bet365.

Cameroon will need a vast improvement on their performance against Mexico if they are to gain any points from this match. Their lacklustre display exposed the defensive frailties the team has especially against the pace of the Mexican strikers. Their wingers were forced back which meant they had six playing in defence at times thus found it difficult to get any support up to Samuel Eto’o. This resulted in a lack of clear cut chances occurring with only a first half strike hitting the bar the closest effort they had.

Cameroon could outnumber and use the power and strength of Stephan M’Bia and Alex Song in the middle of the park if they want to improve their performance and be successful. In the first game, there was a significant lack of powerful runs being made from the centre of the park to help Samuel Eto’o in the final third. Furthermore, the wingers will need to be more prominent and further up the pitch to stretch the full backs of Croatia, whilst creating space for the midfielders to support the striker.

This game will be won and lost in the midfield battle. As mentioned, Cameroon play with the extra midfielder, all possessing strength and the capacity to break through the line of defence. Croatia’s midfield is based on possession and more technical play and will look to get the ball in behind the Cameroon defence for Mandzukic to pounce on. Our Croatia v Cameroon betting tip is for Croatia to win the match by a single goal at 11/4 with Ladbrokes, it looks as though Croatia have more firepower to nick the three points and dump Cameroon out of the competition.
