These teams are the favorites to advance out of this group. Netherlands is the overwhelming favorite, and Cameroon by a small margin. If each of these teams wins their previous games, the prize of this match will simply be to see who wins Group E overall. If both teams have already won their previous games then they will both advance regardless.

However, to advance to the next round of play, if Cameroon loses to Denmark, this could be a last “all they can give” effort.

For both teams, one of the keys to this game will be the play of Samuel Eto’o. He has been the leader for Cameroon and is one of the premier players in the world. When he has scored in games, Cameroon has been tough for anyone to beat. The Netherlands may be the type of team that can contain a star like Eto’o and have a stellar defense.

World Cup Preview: Cameroon vs. Denmark

Cameroon and Denmark will play on the 19th of June in Group E of the 2010 World Cup. This game is far and away considered to be the key game to the advancement of each of these teams out of Group E. With two other teams in the group that seem to have their destiny sealed, these teams will be fighting for the 2nd position of advancement.

Most experts have conceited that Netherlands will at minimum advance out of the group. On the opposite end of the spectrum, Japan is the favorite to be in the cellar of Group E. This means that Cameroon and Denmark will seal their fate by the way that they play against each other on the 19th of June.

Cameroon sports a superior offensive attack. Samuel Eto’o is an absolute star in the league and has been the key to their success in World Cup Qualifying. When Eto’o was playing well in the qualifying the team was nearly unbeatable. They actually did not lose a single game in which he managed to score at least one goal. This means that the key for Denmark will be stopping Eto’o from making an impact in this game.

Cameroon has a weakness on defense that can be exploited by Denmark. The problem for Denmark is that they may lack a premier striker that can take advantage of the weakness of the Cameroon defense.

Once again, the African support may be enough to push Cameroon over the top as they sport somewhat of a home field advantage.
