The two countries must avoid defeat in today's game if they are to have any chance of progressing to the knockout stages and with Cameroon playing Brazil in their last game a win over Serbia is a must today.

Is Onana better than Handanovic?

Andre Onana joined Inter Milan in the summer from Ajax and has replaced 38 year old Samir Handanovic as the number one for the Nerazzurri.

Milinkovic-Savic during the pre-game press conference quoted by L'Interista called Onana an excellent and strong goalkeeper.

“I think he’s an excellent goalkeeper, he has a brilliant future ahead of him. He succeeded in taking Handanovic’s place, today I think he’s stronger than the Slovenian,” the Torino goalkeeper said.
