Preview

Match preview

Congo host Cameroon in the second round of AFCON Qualification fixtures, looking to bounce back from a disappointing start to the group campaign. Congo suffered a 1-0 defeat away to Namibia in their opening match, continuing a difficult spell in which they have found goals hard to come by across recent outings.

Cameroon, by contrast, made a strong start to their qualification bid with a convincing 3-1 home victory over Comoros. The Indomitable Lions have won three of their last five fixtures across all competitions and bring positive attacking momentum into this away trip.

Historical encounters between these two nations indicate tight and low-scoring affairs. Across their five recorded head-to-head meetings, an average of just 1.0 goal per game has been scored, with none of those fixtures exceeding the 2.5-goal threshold.
