South Africa and Cameroon face each other at Al Barid Stadium in what promises to be a close 2025 AFCON last 16 encounter. As both sides are likely to adopt a cautious approach, our prediction points toward a 1-1 draw. Bafana Bafana have been producing fine performances at the showpiece tournament in Morocco, with the team beating both Angola and Zimbabwe, while losing to Egypt in the group stages. As South Africa have been scoring 1.66 goals per game at the Africa Cup of Nations, Home Team Over 0.5 goals seems like value bet. Hugo Broos has a full squad to choose from.
The Indomitable Lions, on the other hand, aim to build on a 2-1 win over Mozambique. Cameroon are undefeated at the 2025 AFCON, with 1.31 average expected goals. As the nominal visitors will rely on their solid defence in Sunday’s clash, we are unlikely to see too many goals at Al Barid Stadium. Defender Junior Tchamadeu is back from suspension, which definitely supports our betting angle.
In their last meeting in a competitive match, the two teams played out a goalless draw. With both sides expected to adopt a cautious approach in this AFCON last-16 matchup, Under 2.5 goals, Draw, and HT Draw all stand out as viable betting options.
This Africa Cup of Nations 2025 match will be played on Sunday 4 January 2026 at 19:00.
