As the football match between Cameroon and Gabon approaches, Cameroon, despite not being at their best this season, are still considered favorites. However, with Gabon's strong performance in 2025, they could potentially secure a draw. Over recent matches, Cameroon has seen mixed results while Gabon shows impressive form. The match is likely to be competitive given both teams' current standings and past match statistics. Both squads have key players fully geared for this encounter.

Cameroon vs Gabon Predictions


Cameroon have not been at their best this season but still remain overwhelming favourites. However, given Gabon’s form in 2025, I feel like they can take a point here.

  • Cameroon have kept 3 clean sheets in their last 5 matches.
  • Cameroon have won 2 of their last 5 matches.
  • Gabon have won 3 of their last 5 matches.
  • Gabon have kept 3 clean sheets in their last 5 matches.

Head to Head


Over the last six matches, Cameroon have won twice, Gabaon once along with three draws.

Cameroon Form


Cameroon are certainly among the most recognizable African teams on the global stage, however, their performances of late has left many perplexed. They recently failed to qualify for the FIFA World Cup after finishing second in their group and being knocked out in the second round.

The Indomitable Lions finished the qualifiers earlier this year with their final four matches, winning two, losing one and drawing one. It was not enough to knock Cape Verde off top spot.

Cameroon did advance to the second knockout round with a second-place finish, however, once there, DR Congo beat Cameroon 1-0. 

Cameroon Squad


Goalkeepers: Devis Epassy, Simon Omossola, Simon Ngapandouetnbu, Edouard Sombang
Defenders: Samuel Kotto, Gerzino Nyamsi, Jean-Charles Castelletto, Nouhou Tolo, Flavien Enzo Boyomo, Mahamadou Nagida, Christopher Wooh, Junior Tchamadeu, Darlin Yongwa
Midfielders: Martin Ndzie, Carlos Baleba, Arthur Avom, Eric-Junior Dina Ebimbe, Brice Ambina, Jean Junior Onana, Olivier Kemen
Forwards: Bryan Mbeumo, Christian Bassogog, Georges-Kevin N'Koudou, Danny Namaso, Frank Magri, Karl Etta Eyong, Christian Kofane, Patrick Soko

Gabon Form


Gabon had had a superb 2025 and arguably were the surprise package during the FIFA World Cup qualifiers. Needing to top their group for automatic qualification, Gabon lost out by a single point to Ivory Coast.

Despite finishing second, Gabon won eight of their 10 World Cup qualifiers, losing just once. That impressive campaign got them into the semi-finals of the playoffs. 

Unfortunately, on the night, Gabon just didn’t pitch up as Nigeria ran out 4-1 winners and end Gabon’s World Cup hopes.

Gabon Squad 


Goalkeepers: Loyce Mbaba, Anse Ngoubi Demba, Junior Bekale
Defenders: Anthony Oyono, Jeremy Oyono, Johann Obiang, Aaron Appindangoye, Bruno Ecuele Manga, Alexis Moucketou, Mick Onfia, Jonathan Do Marcolino, Uriel-Michel Mboula, Jacques Ekomie
Midfielders: Mario Lemina, Samake Nze, Guelor Kanga, Eric Gocoum, André Poko, Ruben Loufilou, Didier Ndong
Forwards: Shavy Babicka, Teddy Averlant, Denis Bouanga, Edlin Essang-Matouti, Malick Evouna, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Royce Openda, Jim Allevinah

Gabon are backed to hold Cameroon to a draw in this fixture.
