Olivier Ntcham is a major doubt for Cameroon due to injury, while it will be intriguing to see if head coach Rigobert Song turns back to Vincent Aboubakar with their captain and usual talisman restricted to a late second-half cameo off the bench against the Swiss.
For Serbia boss, Dragan Stojkovic, Juventus pair Filip Kostic and Dusan Vlahovic are not yet fully fit, with only the latter coming on against Brazil.
If fit, both could come into the fold here, with more firepower needed alongside the likes of Aleksandar Mitrovic and Dusan Tadic. Fiorentina frontman Luka Jovic is another good option to boost the attacking presence.
Cameroon predicted line-up:
Onana; Fai, Castelletto, N’Koulou, Tolo; Zambo-Anguissa, Gouet, Hongla; Mbeumo, Aboubakar, Ekambi
Serbia predicted line-up:
Milinkovic-Savic; Veljkovic, Milenkovic, Pavlovic; Zivkovic, Lukic, Gudelj, Mladenovic; S.Milinkovic-Savic, Tadic; Mitrovic
Cameroon v Serbia prediction
Cameroon showed flashes of brilliance on the break against Switzerland but will need to throw caution to the wind and pick up all three points because they face Brazil in their final group game.
Serbia’s main men should get more time on the ball than they managed against Brazil, which would play into their hands. Punters will go for a 2.5-odd.
