The model knows Switzerland were unable to generate offense in their most recent outing and suffered a 2-0 loss to Ghana in a friendly last Thursday. The Swiss scored twice in each of their previous two matches, with Breel Embolo tallying in both contests. The 25-year-old forward, who was born in Cameroon, led Switzerland with three goals and added three assists during World Cup Qualifying.
The model also has considered that Cameroon have had scoring problems of their own of late, producing a total of two goals over their last four matches. Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting tallied in Cameroon's 1-1 draw against Panama in last Friday's friendly and shared the team lead with three goals in six World Cup Qualifying contests. Fellow forward Karl Toko Ekambi also netted three tallies during qualifying play and has scored in two of his last three outings for Cameroon.
