4 Tips for Thursday’s World Cup Action - 24/11/22

The first tip on this list comes from Switzerland against Cameroon in Group G which is Thursday’s early kick-off at 10 am GMT.

This game will likely be evenly matched and the two players which were are focussing on here are Breel Embolo and Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting.

Embolo has had a superb season for AS Monaco, having scored eight goals and assisted four times. Ironically, the 25-year-old was born in Yaounde, Cameroon and nine-goal contributions in his last nine starts.

Bayern Munich forward Choupo-Moting has managed 11 goals for the Bundesliga outfit during the 2022/23 campaign. The 33-year-old has had 15 shots on target in his last eight appearances.

Uruguay against South Korea could be a fascinating contest in Group H, with both sides looking to optimise their chances of progressing to the knockout stages.

Liverpool striker Darwin Nunez enters this match in great form, having scored seven times in his last nine matches, following a slow start to life at Anfield after his mega-money move from Benfica in the summer. The 23-year-old has managed to score in Uruguay’s recent 2-0 win over Canada.

Tottenham forward Son Heung-min has had seven shots on target in his last four matches and will be quintessential to any hopes that the Lions of Asia have of qualifying for the knockout stages. The 30-year-old has scored 35 goals in 104 games for South Korea.

Portugal faces the lowest-ranked side at the 2022 FIFA World Cup when they go up against Ghana in Group H.

Cristiano Ronaldo will fancy his chances in this match, with the 37-year-old being the all-time top scorer at international level with 117 goals in 191 caps. The Portuguese talisman has become a free agent following the termination of his contract at Manchester United and will be determined to prove a point to any potential suitors.

In total across his career, Ronaldo has scored 818 goals, whilst creating 234 assists.

Brazil against Serbia will be an interesting contest in Group G, with Serbia beating Portugal to the top of their qualifying group, while Brazil comfortably topped CONMEBOL’s World Cup qualifying standings.

Tite’s men scored 40 goals in 17 matches, with Neymar finishing as their top scorer with eight goals. The PSG forward was actually the second-top scorer of any South American player in qualifying and is only two goals shy of Pele’s all-time Brazil goalscoring record with 75 to his name. In terms of assists, Neymar has created 12 for PSG so far this season across all competitions.
