Only bet what you can afford to lose. I also don't think backing all favorites is good in the world cup. Now all teams are good. It's not like in the 80s and 90s when it was predictable.

Thanks for the tip. It wasn't that big of a bet. But the outcome was so unexpected I nearly chocked. Any heads for the match Cameroon - Switzerland?

Well, too late now but I would have passed on that match. I am better in tennis betting.
 
Barcelona great Samuel Eto'o believes Kylian Mbappe is the player who will replace Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, what do you guys say?
 
Soccer is a strange game. Tiny ball, massive net…should be very, very easy to score points. And yet, sometimes a whole game goes by without a single goal. Stands to reason that the players just aren’t very good. #FIFAWorldCupQatar2022

Belgium vs Morocco Preview:

Possible starting lineups:

Belgium:
Courtois; Alderweireld, Vertonghen, Dendoncker; Meunier, Onana, Witsel, Carrasco; De Bruyne, E. Hazard; Batshuayi

Morocco:
Bounou; Hakimi, Aguerd, Saiss, Mazraoui; Ounahi, Amrabat, Amallah; Ziyech, En-Nesyri, Boufal

Belgium will try to obtain another victory when they meet Group F rivals Morocco at Al Thumama Stadium. The Red Devils narrowly beat Canada in their opening match. However, the victory was all but deserved. The Canadians dominated large periods of this match, but were inefficient. To be worse, Alphonso Davies saw a first-half penalty saved by Belgium goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois. The Real Madrid No 1 also had to save well from Alistair Johnston. Canada were punished for the missed opportunities before the half-time when Michy Batshuayi collected Toby Alderweireld's long ball and fired a powerful left-foot finish past Milan Borjan. The second half was similar to the first - Jonathan David wasted a glorious headed chance to draw Canada level and Courtois also saved from Cyle Larin. At the end Belgium recorded the first victory. Coach Roberto Martinez could not be satisfied how his team played. In addition, he has some injury worries as striker Romelu Lukaku is facing a race against time to be involved. The 29-year-old is struggling with a hamstring injury. Michy Batshuayi is ready to deputize up front again. Lois Openda from Lens and Leandro Trossard from Brighton & Hove Albion are pushing for starting spots.

Morocco started the World Cup campaign with a goalless draw against Croatia at Al Bayt Stadium. One point against the runners-up from Russia four years ago could be evaluate as success. The opponents, now 12th in FIFA world rankings, dominated possession as expected, but failed to create some clear opportunity. Once again Morocco showed they are good side. Just to mention, the Africans have only lost two of their past 40 games across three years. However, most of those games were under different coach. Vahid Halilhodzic - who had dropped Hakim Ziyech and Noussair Mazraoui due to disagreements - was replaced by Walid Regragui before the World Cup. Many believe this is a handicap for Morocco, but the first match showed they are still good. They had a chance when Noussair Mazraoui followed in a deflected shot and saw a back-post header saved. PSG defender Achraf Hakimi also tested the Croatian defense, but keeper Dominik Livakovic dealt with his dipping, swerving 35-yard strike with ease. Overall, it was a match mainly played in the middle, with both national teams potentially wary of mistakes and damaging their chances of progressing to the knock-out stages. Regragui has most of his player ready, only Bayern Munich full-back Noussair Mazraoui is rated as doubtful after being stretchered off on Wednesday. Yahia Attiyat-Allah should deputize if required.

Belgium vs Morocco Prediction:

I think Belgium are closer to the victory. They weren't good against Canada, that's true. And yet they won. According to me, they couldn't be worse, only better. Most important, they have player able to make a difference in match like this - Kevin de Bruyne. Plus there are experienced names like Hazard, Batshuayi and Carrasco. It is simple, the quality is on the Belgian side.

Cameroon vs Serbia Preview:

Possible starting lineups:

Cameroon:
Onana; Fai, N'Koulou, Castelletto, Tolo; Anguissa, Ondoua, Hongla; Mbeumo, Choupo-Moting, Toko Ekambi

Serbia:
Vanja Milinkovic-Savic; Milenkovic, Veljkovic, Pavlovic; Zivkovic, Gudelj, Sergej Milinkovic-Savic, Mladenovic; Tadic; Vlahovic, Mitrovic

Cameroon and Serbia are in "must win" position ahead of the second round's match. Both national teams suffered defeats in the first round and whoever lose here go home. Cameroon lost 1:0 to Switzerland. Interesting to be mentioned, the lone goal was scored by Breel Embolo, a player born in Jaounde who later moved to Switzerland with his mother. He raised his arms up after scoring and refused to celebrate in honour of his home country. Embolo wrote after the match: "I’m very proud of my first World Cup goal, but it feels weird for me". But the fans were extremely angry. According to reports, Embolo’s parents’ home in Cameroon has been attacked by a group of irate football fans, as his father is still base in the country. However, coach Rigobert Song has different type of issues. Midfielder Olivier Ntcham has been ruled out of the remaining part of the tournament. Some changes are possible, but Bayern Munich striker Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting is likely to keep his place.

Serbia are also pointless after their opening match as they lost 2:0 to Brazil at Lusail Stadium on Thursday. Both goals were scored by the Tottenham striker Richarlison in the second half. That was the Serbians only a third defeat in their last 17 matches across all competitions, but definitely the most painful. Coach Dragan Stojkovic Piksi blamed the lack of fitness of his three star players Mitrovic, Vlahovic and Kostic. Nevertheless, he also admitted his team had lost to the better side. But the current situation is very complicated and the fans are afraid of repeating the history. Serbia failed to secure the knock-out phase on the three previous World Cup appearances since gaining independence. Worst of all, they have now lost 8 of their 10 World Cup matches. Many things will depend of the situation in medical department. Kostic is still rated as doubtful, while Vlahovic should be ready to start, as well as Mitrovic. Vanja Milinkovic-Savic should continue between the sticks, joining his older brother Sergej Milinkovic-Savic in the starting eleven.

Cameroon vs Serbia Prediction:

Serbia are closer to the victory here. The Eagles were impressive during the qualifications when finished first in the group after beating Portugal in the last match. They also secured promotion to the A Division of Nations League. Stojkovic composed a good team and we shouldn't be too critical after the opening defeat. Brazil, together with France and Spain, are simply too strong. Cameroon are nowhere near Brazil.
