Our prediction for this World Cup 2026 match:
Stade Municipal Ndoumbe Oumar will host Friday’s World Cup qualifier between Cameroon and Mozambique. The Lions of Teranga aim to bounce back from a 2-1 loss to Ivory Coast, and they are likely to fight tooth and nail against Os Mambas. Paul George Ntep has been recalled, while the likes of John Mary, Ignatius Ganago, Arnaud Djoum, and Dawa Joyskim failed to make the cut. As always, a man to watch in the home team will be Bayern Munich star Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting.
Mozambique, on the other hand, have yet to find the net in the final stage of the World Cup qualifiers, and seeing that Cameroon are a real force to be reckoned with at home, the visitors are unlikely to grab something from the match. Talented Sporting Lisbon attacker Geny Catamo is pushing for a start for the visiting team.
Highlighted Player (Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting):
Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting is a Cameroonian footballer who plays for Schalke 04 as a winger. Choupo-Moting joined die Knappen in 2014, but he played for fellow German sides Mainz, Nurnberg and Hamburger in the past as well. He was part of FC St. Pauli during his youth career.
The Cameroonian international, who was born in Altona, Hamburg, represented the Indomitable Lions at the 2010 FIFA World Cup and he made the Cameroon 2014 World Cup squad as well. Choupo-Moting is well known for his speed and he often makes life difficult for the opposition defenders. His main position is left wing, but he is capable of playing as a centre forward as well.
Choupo-Moting scored six goals in 28 appearances for Schalke in the 2015/2016 Bundesliga campaign, but many people believe that he was producing much better performances with Mainz. The Cameroonian attacker scored 10 goals in 32 league appearances for die Nullfunfer in the 2013/2014 season. Choupo-Moting, who was born on 23 Match, 1989, began his youth career at Teutonia 05.
