Match Preview
Cameroon, the five-time champions of Africa, will face the Australian team in a match that will be decisive, and it will define the second place team of the table in group B, with only one game still missing to close the group phase. Cameroon is the favorite for this match, due to the high level that the African football team currently has, but, we should not underestimate the Australian team that played a very good match against Germany, as they lost the game by only one goal.
Previa Del Partido
El equipo Pentacampeón de África, Camerún, se enfrenta al seleccionado de Australia en un partido que será determinante para definir el segundo puesto de la tabla del grupo B a solo una fecha de cerrar la fase de grupos. Camerún parte como claro favorito para este encuentro debido al alto nivel que presenta en la actualidad el futbol de África, pero no debemos de subestimar al equipo de Australia que hizo un buen papel ante Alemania en la primera fecha, perdiendo el partido por solo un gol de diferencia.
Cameroon
The Lions of Africa will play for the third time in the Confederations Cup, they have always been a very competitive team in all of the international tournaments where they have participated in and they have shown proof of this great performance in 2003 where they were awarded a sub-championship in this competition and they always play a key role in the world cup going through the group stage, more often than not.
Achieving the title of Champions of Africa is not easy, at all. And, they have to play against very good teams like Nigeria and Ghana, who also have great players and top of the line trainers. So, with this being said, we can assure that a team like this, in their best condition will play a good game of soccer. And, in addition to this, we have to take into account the positive record that their coach Hugo Broos has had while managing the team which is shown through six victories, two ties, and one defeat.
Los Leones de África se presentan por tercera vez en la Copa Confederaciones, son un equipo muy competitivo en todos los torneos internacionales donde participan, en el 2003 lograron un subcampeonato en esta misma competición y siempre desempeñan un buen papel en la copa del mundo superando casi siempre la fase de grupos.
Aunado al buen momento que poseen sus jugadores es de tomar en cuenta el record positivo que posee su entrenador Hugo Broos delante de la selección con 6 victorias, 2 derrotas y 1 derrota, hacen que en este momento la selección de Camerún sea el equipo más fuerte de África y fuerte candidato para ganar este encuentro.
For this match, Cameroon won't have any injured or banned players and the expected line up is the 4-3-3 formation.
Para este encuentro el equipo no tendrá a ningún jugador lesionado ni suspendido, se espera que el técnico use la formación 4-3-3.
Australia
Australia lost their first match against the group's favorite, Germany, and they are looking for a favorable result in this match, so they can dream about the possibility of advancing to the quarterfinals of the competition. The Australian players demonstrated, perhaps, a not so great dominion and technique of the ball in the first game of the competition, but, they have surely proved that they have a great will to prove that they are worthy of playing this competition as champions of the Asian Cup.
For this meeting, their coach Ange Postecoglou will surely employ a formation a little more defensive that allows him to resist the attacks of the faster African players, and thus, avoid possible counterattacks where they could be outperformed in speed by the Cameroonian laterals. With this being said, it is very possible that he may use the formation that he used in the previous match with 3 central and 4 midfielders (3-4-2-1), or an even more defensive one like (3-5-2) in detriment of his favorite (4-3-3) or (4-2-3-1), that he has used throughout the world cup qualifiers and the previous, Asian Cup.
El equipo de Australia luego de haber perdido en forma muy ajustada su primer encuentro contra la favorita del grupo, la selección de Alemania, busca de obtener un resultado favorable que los haga pensar en poder avanzar a los cuartos de final de la competición. Los jugadores demostraron quizás no un gran dominio y técnica del balón en la primera fecha de la copa confederaciones pero si una gran voluntad por demostrar su valia como campeones de la copa de Asia.
Para este encuentro su técnico Ange Postecoglou seguramente empleara una formación un poco más defensiva que le permita resistir la embestida de los rápidos jugadores africano y asi evitar un posible contragolpe donde serían superados en velocidad por los volantes cameruneses. Por lo que es posible que mantenga la formación empleada en el partido anterior con 3 centrales y 4 volantes (3-4-2-1) en detrimento de su favorita la 4-3-3 o 4-2-3-1.
Ange Postecoglou will have all his players available for this match and the team is expected to line up with a 3-4-2-1 formation.
Ange Postecoglou tendrá a disposición todos sus jugadores. Se espera que el equipo alinee con 3-4-2-1 para este encuentro.
Now all that FIFA is missing is more corruption this year ;)
Really would like to see Cahill start. Maybe leave Luongo out and push Leckie forward. Cameroon will have a real crack but the Socceroos certainly gave Germany some problems in the second half of the last match.
I don't think Socceroos have played Cameroon before, but the worry for us is the 3+ goals we are conceding against decent opposition. Rogic and Cahill need to fire if we are any hope.
Should be a cracking match!
My money is on Australia! $100 but still!
Yes, AUSTRALIA is going to win.....
Classic draw for me!
I expect a kinda boring 0-0 first half.
And an exciting second one, with a defining goal at the end of the game.
I would bet... Cameroon to win!
:D
Yes something like this :D 0:0 or 1:0/0:1
Nice review! Which team is yours favorite @steemsports? Are you into sports bets?
Super article. I bet on Australia too ;)
Great post. Cameroon is my pick, but both will go home after group matches, since Chile and Germany will advance to semi-final.
The Cameroon team has a good ball.
Good game between your good teams.

This will be a great game! Can't wait to watch it in 2 days! :)
I think that Australia will do great
I bet on Cameroon, I think they will be better this time. Not without reason they are called the lions of Africa :)
I've never followed these teams before but after reading this post I'll probably hope for Cameroon to win
