Prediction: 1-0
Mozambique
Cameroon will be aiming to build on a hard-fought 1-0 win over Rwanda when they take on Mozambique at Stade de la Reunification on Thursday. The Indomitable Lions aim to move one step closer to securing their place at the Africa Cup of Nations finals, and we are positive that they will go all guns blazing at Mozambique. Porto attacker Aboubakar is widely expected to lead the line for the hosts, but the opposition defenders should have Lyon winger Toko Ekambi at bay as well.
Os Mambas, on the other hand, kicked off their AFCON qualifying campaign with a 2-0 win over Rwanda, with the team sharing the spoils with Cape Verde in their second group game. Mozambique aim to retain top position in the standings, but spoiling Cameroon’s party in Douala is easier said than done.

A number of world-class footballers played for the Indomitable Lions in the past and the likes of Samuel Eto’o, Rigobert Song, Roger Milla, Patrick M’Boma, Stephane Mbia and Geremi are the most notable players who were part of the Cameroonian national football team.
