Cameroon vs Zimbabwe Predictions


Cameroon are very strong at home and are scoring plenty of goals on their own soil. Zimbabwe have improved but their matches don’t see many goals. I’m tipping a home win with Over 2.5 goals scored.

  • Cameroon have won 5 of their last 6 home matches.
  • Cameroon have scored 3+ goals in 4 of their last 5 home qualifiers.
  • Zimbabwe have seen BTTS No in 7 of their last 9 matches.
  • Zimbabwe have lost 2 of their last 3 matches.

Head to Head


Cameroon hold a 2-0 advantage over Zimbabwe over four previous clashes with two draws. 

The nations played out a 0-0 draw when they met in September.

Cameroon Form


The Indomitable Lions have qualified for the AFCON with three wins and two draws in five matches. 

They began AFCON qualifying with a 1-0 win at home to Namibia. After drawing 0-0 away to Zimbabwe, they beat Kenya 4-1 at home. 

A 1-0 away win vs Kenya was enough to qualify. On Wednesday, they travelled to South Africa but could only draw 0-0 versus Namibia.

Cameroon Injuries & Team News


Coach Marc Brys may rotate his team with nothing to play for here. Georges-Kévin Nkoudou could start on the wing.  

Brighton midfielder Carlos Baleba and Napoli’s André-Frank Zambo Anguissa have withdrawn. Bryan Mbuemo is also unavailable.

Goalkeepers: André Onana, Simon Omossola, Simon Ngapandouetnbu
Defenders: Christopher Wooh, Jackson Tchatchoua, Nouhou Tolo, Enzo Flavien Boyomo, Michael Ngadeu-Ngadjui, Jean-Charles Castelletto, Guy Kilama, Fai Collins, Darlin Ngameni
Midfielders:  Martin Hongla, Yvan Neyou, Yvan Noupa, Wilitty Younoussa
Forwards: Vincent Aboubakar, Christian Bassogog, Georges-Kévin Nkoudou, Frank Magri, Boris Enow, Patrick Soko, Nicolas Ngamaleu

Zimbabwe Form


Zimbabwe drew their last match to qualify for the AFCON with a match spare. 

In September’s FIFA break in AFCON qualifiers, they drew 0-0 away to Kenya and 0-0 vs Comoros at home. They beat Kenya 1-0 away from home to take a big step towards qualifying. 

A 3-1 home win over Namibia put them on the verge of qualification. A 1-1 home draw vs Kenya was enough for Michael Nees’ team to reach the tournament.

Zimbabwe Injuries & Team News


Centre back Brendan Galloway misses this match due to injury. Coach Michael Nees could rotate his XI with Gerald Takwara doubtful at the back.

Terrence Dzvukamanja and winger Daniel Msendami could be handed starts. 

Goalkeepers: Washington Arubi, Marley Tavaziva, Martin Mapisa
Defenders: Divine Lunga, Gerald Takwara, Munashe Garananga, Godknows Murwira, Emmanuel Jalai, Teenage Hadebe, Jordan Zemura
Midfielders: Marvelous Nakamba, Marshall Munetsi, Andy Rinomhota, Tawanda Chirewa, Brian Banda, Richard Hachiro
Strikers: Tinotenda Kadewere, Khama Billiat, Prince Dube, Terrence Dzvukamanja, Tawanda Maswanhise, Daniel Msendami, Walter Musona, Douglas Mapfumo
