Cameroon vs Guinea Predictions


Guinea are undefeated in their last three matches against Cameroon and I'm backing them to pick up a point in this group opener. A tight contest is predicted.

  • Guinea are undefeated in 5 of their last 6 matches

Head to Head


Cameroon hold a 4-2 head-to-head advantage with three draws against Guinea.

Guinea have won the last two meetings, a friendly win in 2017 and a 2-0 victory at AFCON 2021.


Cameroon Form


Cameroon topped their group in AFCON qualifying but it wasn't a convincing campaign, and that is the story of their recent form.

The Indomitable Lions have won two, drawn three and lost four of their last nine internationals in an inconsistent run of form.

Rigobert Song's side began World Cup qualifying in November with a 3-0 win over Mauritius and a 1-1 draw with Libya. They also drew 1-1 with Zambia in a pre-AFCON friendly.

Cameroon Squad & Team News


Goalkeepers: Fabrice Ondoa, André Onana, Devis Epassy, Simon Ngapandouetnbu
Defenders: Nouhou Tolo, Jean-Charles Castelletto, Harold Moukoudi, Christopher Wooh, Oumar Gonzalez, Darlin Yongwa, Malcom Bokele, Junior Tchamadeu, Enzo Tchato
Midfielders: André-Frank Zambo Anguissa, Olivier Ntcham, Yvan Neyou, Benjamin Elliott, Olivier Kemen, Nathan Wilfired Doualla
Forwards: Vincent Aboubakar, Karl Toko Ekambi, Moumi Ngamaleu, Clinton N'Jie, Georges-Kévin Nkoudou, Frank Magri, Faris Moumbagna, Léonel Christian Ateba

Guinea Form


Guinea qualified for AFCON as runners-up to Egypt, but the campaign ended disappointingly with a win and a draw in their final two matches.

The National Elephants have since won two of three friendlies (1-0 against Guinea Bissau and 2-0 against Nigeria) and drew 1-1 with Gabon.

Kaba Diawara's side started World Cup qualifying with a 2-1 win over Uganda in November, only to lose 1-0 to Botswana days later.

Guinea Squad & Team News


Goalkeepers: Aly Keita, Moussa Camara, Ibrahim Koné
Defenders: Issiaga Sylla, Mohamed Ali Camara, Saïdou Sow, Antoine Conte, Mouctar Diakhaby, Ibrahim Diakité, Julian Jeanvier, Sekou Sylla
Midfielders: Naby Keïta, Amadou Diawara, Aguibou Camara, Ilaix Moriba, Mory Konaté, Seydouba Cissé, Karim Cissé, Abdoulaye Touré
Forwards: François Kamano, José Kanté, Mohamed Bayo, Morgan Guilavogui, Serhou Guirassy, Facinet Conte

Verdict

Cameroon and Guinea should be closely matched and I'm predicting this Group C opener ends in a point apiece.
