As part of one of the matches of the 1/8 finals of the African Cup, the players of Cameroon and the Comoros will come face to face. Which of the opponents will be able to get a ticket to the next stage of the tournament? Our sports portal gives a forecast for this meeting.
Cameroon
The Cameroonian national team held the group stage of the home African Cup at the highest level. It is worth noting that the hosts were able to reach the playoffs from the first place in the A quartet, having managed to bring the series without defeats to 7 matches. Tony Conceisau's team slowed down a bit only in the final round, saving their strength for further matches. The team was able to draw with Cape Verde (1:1), where the "indomitable lions" looked stronger opponents.
Comoros
The Comoros, after two initial defeats at the African Cup, did not hope for the continuation of the fight and in the final match of the group stage were able to defeat Ghana - 3:2. Abdu's team became the last team to enter the playoffs of the tournament from the third place in the quartet, and will try to play competitively against one of the main favorites of the tournament in the 1/8 finals.
Statistics and figures:
- Cameroon is a clear favorite of the meeting;
- Cameroonians won 4 out of 5 meetings;
- The Cameroon national team does not lose during 7 meetings;
- The Comoros have not drawn in 8 matches;
- The last face-to-face meeting of the rivals ended with a score of 3:0 in favor of Cameroon.
Forecast
I think that the Comoros will be able to withstand a head start of 3 goals in this meeting. No matter how favorite Cameroon is, it will be difficult for him to defeat a clear outsider with a difference of 4 goals or more. Our bet will be in favor of nominal guests.
