It could be a spectacular start to Confederations Cup Group B in Moscow this evening, says Tobias Gourlay

You can find our preview of Sunday's first Confederations Cup game here. Come early evening, though, attention will turn to Moscow, where the opening game of Group B takes place.

Chile are an established tournament outfit. They've won the last two runnings of the Copa America, and made the most recent World Cup quarter-finals. World-class attackers like Alexis Sanchez make them firm favourites to beat Cameroon, but it's worth noting that the South Americans have managed clean sheets in just 3/14 games in the ongoing World Cup qualifying campaign.

Reigning Africa Cup of Nations champions Cameroon were a defence-first outfit in that successful campaign, but are likely to have to chase the game at some point today. They've lost 6/6 group games at the last two World Cups, but scored in half of those defeats. That's enough for us to take a big price about Chile to win, but without a clean sheet.
