Croatia v Cameroon Betting Tips and Predictions

After only one game in Group A this is already a must win game for both side if they have any aspirations of qualifying for the knockout stages and we have free World Cup 2014 betting tips.

Cameroon’s 1-0 defeat to Mexico and Croatia’s 3-1 loss to hosts Brazil have left both sides without a point after the opening match and under pressure to get the three points on Wednesday night in Manaus.

Of the two Croatia will feel the most hard done by in the first match. Many neutrals will argue that they were a match for Brazil and certainly deserved something from the game. A contentious penalty decision at 1-1 and an injury time third goal from the hosts, when Croatia were chasing the game, were all that separated the two on the night. With Modric, Perisic and Rakitic they had pace in the midfield with combinations of quick passing and the ability to run at defenders. Jelavic upfront gave them an out ball with plenty of opportunities to run in behind what looked like an ordinary Brazilian defence. Talisman Mario Mandzukic is available for this game after being suspended against Brazil, so the Croatians have options to freshen the team up if needed.

By contrast, Cameroon will need to improve on their opening game performance if they are to progress in the tournament. They set up pretty much with six at the back and invited Mexico to break them down, which was not a bad plan for the opening game to avoid defeat, however, Mexico managed to open them up and but for some questionable decisions by the officials should’ve had two goals in the first half. Added to that they created few chances in attack with only two notable chances from Samuel Eto’o and a free kick from Benoit Assou-Ekotto that produced a fine save from the Mexican keeper. To add to their problems when facing Croatia, it looks as if their Star man and inspirational captain, Eto’o, will miss the match through a knee injury that has been troubling him since the latter part of the Premier League season.

The lions will have to go all out to win this one especially with the unenviable task of facing Brazil in the last Group A match next Monday 23^rd June.

Going on the opening games it is hard to see past a Croatia win in this one. Cameroon will need to improve dramatically to overturn this Croatian side that deserved something against Brazil. For the odds on punters the 8/13 looks inviting with both Bet365 and William Hill, but for those looking at a bit of odds against value then the Match Handicap Croatia –1 goal looks tempting at 8/5 with William Hill. In what could be an open game with both teams having to go for the win I would look to the Result/Both teams to score market and Croatia & yes at 14/5 with Ladbrokes.
