World Cup 2014 Opta Stats: Cameroon

Samuel Eto'o is still a key player for Cameroon

Cameroon will face Croatia, Mexico and hosts Brazil this summer. Luke Moore casts his eye across the Opta stats for the Indomitable Lions...

Cameroon are taking part in their seventh World Cup, more than any other African team. They are currently a big 9.417/2 to be the Top African Team in Brazil this summer.

Cameroon's best performance at the World Cup is a quarter final back in 1990 (2-3 v England); only Senegal (in 2002) and Ghana (in 2010) have also reached the last eight among African teams. If you fancy Cameroon to reach the quarter-finals again, they can be backed at 27.026/1.

No Cameroon player scored more than two goals in the 2014 World Cup qualifiers (Eric Choupo-Moting, Samuel Eto'o & Jean II Makoun). 

Samuel Eto'o is directly involved in Cameroon's last four World Cup goals (3 goals, 1 assist). Eto'o is priced at a massive 460.0459/1 to win the Golden Boot this summer.

Cameroon have only won one of their last 13 World Cup games (1-0 v Saudi Arabia in 2002). They are currently 3.9n/a to win their opening game against Mexico.
