By Joshua Ojele | 27 November 2022

Sports Mole looks at how the squads of Cameroon and Serbia compare ahead of Monday's World Cup clash between the two sides.

With their respective World Cup dreams on the line, Cameroon and Serbia go head to head at the Al Janoub Stadium in the second round of Group G fixtures on Monday.

Rigobert Song's side were condemned to a seventh consecutive group-stage defeat — a run dating back to the 2002 World Cup — as they were beaten 1-0 by Switzerland in Wednesday's group opener.

As for Serbia, they were simply outclassed by a star-studded Brazil side as Tottenham Hotspur forward Richarlison struck twice in the second half to hand the South Americans heavyweights a 2-0 victory.

Here Sports Mole looks at how the squads of Cameroon and Serbia weigh up against each other ahead of Monday's contest.
