Cameroon are looking as the favorite for the Group E clash with Japan on Monday. Japan have received much criticism after losing all their warm up games and only managing a draw against Zimbabwe.<\/h2>\n

Japan have also looked very poor upfront, managing to score only one goal in all their warm up games.<\/p>\n

Cameroon have also received stick recently with poor performances in the African Nations Cup. Eto\u2019o even threatened to quit after receiving criticism from Roger Milla, arguably Cameroons greatest forward.<\/p>\n

With both teams defense being poor, one would expect a game with many goals but Cameroon with the electric speed of Eto\u2019o can easily cause problems for the Asian side who has performed very badly in their warm-up games.<\/p>\n

Prediction
\nCameroon has a full squad and no injury worries other than Arsenal midfielder Alexandre Song be a doubt. Japan also has a fit squad after midfielder Makoto Hasebe returned to the team after an injury.<\/p>\n

When evaluating both teams, Cameroon looks the stronger side especially with the likes of Eto\u2019O when fit can cause devastating problems to the defense.<\/p>\n

Japan with their poor defense conceding nine goals and only managing to score a single goal during the warm-ups puts great doubt on the Japanese side.<\/p>\n
