Two nations who suffered opening defeats at the 2022 FIFA World Cup are aiming to recover in style and strengthen their chances of qualification from Group G, as Cameroon and Serbia begin Monday's action.
In respectable performances by both countries to start their campaigns, Cameroon had more attempts on target, but lost by a single goal against Switzerland.
Serbia held off title favourites Brazil until the 62nd minute, when Tottenham forward Richarlison scored the first of two goals in 12 minutes to condemn Dragan Stojkovic's side to defeat.

Serbia make two changes to their starting lineup, with Nemanja Maksimovic and Filip Kostic taking over from Nemanja Gudelj and Filip Mladenovic.
Juventus striker Dusan Vlahovic, who returned to action after an adductor injury as a substitute against Brazil, remains on the bench.

Why is Andre Onana not playing for Cameroon?
Andre Onana is a surprise admission from Cameroon's squad for the match against Serbia today, having already played in the opening defeat to Switzerland last week.
Journalist Fabrizio Romano claims the Inter Milan goalkeeper has been involved in a disagreement with the head coach Rigobert Song over playing styles.
"André Onana has been removed from Cameroon’s squad. Been told that the reason is a discussion with head coach as he insisted for different style of goalkeeping, more ‘traditional'," Romano tweeted.
"Onana has no intention to change his style — tense situation & so he’s been excluded."
While he's missing from today's match, some reports suggest he may have been axed from the entire World Cup squad with Samuel Eto'o's attempts to calm down the situation between Onana and Song.
Cameroon vs Serbia odds
Serbia's status as odds-on favourites is partly a reflection of the strong form they were in before meeting Brazil, scoring 18 times during a six-match unbeaten run that included five wins.
Cameroon are winless in five games but have only conceded more than one goal in one of their last six matches.
