This match will mark a small piece of history as Switzerland and Cameroon have never met in men’s international football before.
With Brazil, who face Serbia at the 7pm kick-off, expected to top Group G, these two teams will both be aiming for a strong start as they aim for second place.
Inspired by the goalscoring exploits of Roger Milla, Cameroon became the first African side to reach the quarter-finals of the World Cup in 1990, but have never reached the knockout stages since then.
Switzerland have qualified for the round of 16 in each of the last two tournaments, with Xherdan Shaqiri on the scoresheet each time.
The kick-off is given at 10:00 GMT. Make sure you know how to watch the 2022 World Cup wherever you are.

VPN guide
If you’re out of the country for the 2022 World Cup, you won’t be able to watch on your domestic streaming service as usual. The broadcaster knows where you are thanks to your IP address (boo!) and prevents you from watching it. You can, however, use a VPN to circumvent this, without resorting to the illegal streams you found on Reddit.
A virtual private network (VPN), assuming it complies with your broadcaster’s terms and conditions, creates a private connection between your device and the internet, which means the service cannot determine where you are and will allow you to watch. And all information exchanged is fully encrypted, anonymous and safe – and that’s a result.
There are plenty of good value for money options. For the 2022 World Cup, FourFourTwo currently recommends:
