Cameroon’s Indomitable Lions, who have been to more World Cups than any other African country, face a near impossible task as they need to beat Brazil today if they are to stand any chance of progress in the World Cup. More details at www.soccer6.co.za

M1 Cameroon vs Brazil: Cameroon famously beat Brazil in the 2001 Confederation Cup semi-final but have lost all four previous meetings against them.

M2 Serbia vs Switzerland: In Russia four years ago these two countries were also in the same World Cup group and the Swiss won 2-1 in Kaliningrad with a last gasp winner.

M3 Bolton Wanderers vs Bristol Rovers: Two successive victories has pushed Bolton into the top five in League One. Rovers were bundled out of the FA Cup at home at the weekend by non-league opponents.

M4 Charlton Athletic vs Cheltenham Town: The Addicks are looking to snap a run of five matches without victory. Cheltenham won last season on their only previous visit to The Valley.

M5 Crewe Alexandra vs Newport County: After three successive wins, Crewe lost to Barnsley in the FA Cup at the weekend. Newport have been beaten in four of their past five outings.

M6 Doncaster Rovers vs Walsall: Doncaster’s home record has been patchy with three losses in their last four games at home. Walsall are on a seven match unbeaten run.

M7 Ipswich Town vs Fleetwood Town: Ipswich could go top of the League One standings if they win. Fleetwood had away success at the weekend in the FA Cup second round.

M8 Morecambe vs Exeter City: A run of eight matches without success sees Morecambe second from bottom in League One. Exeter have conceded six goals in losing their past two games.

M9 Peterborough vs Barnsley: Barnsley have won seven of 12 previous visits to the Posh but Peterboro are one point above them in the League One standings.

M10 Stevenage vs Barrow: Stevenage have a 100% home record against Barrow with four wins out of four.
