Cape Verde vs Cameroon Predictions

Cape Verde need to try to win this match although a draw keeps their qualification hopes alive. They are a very goal-shy team and will play for a clean sheets first and foremost.

Cameroon can qualify with a win but are missing some of their top players. I am tipping this to be another draw between these two teams.

Cape Verde have drawn their last 5 matches (Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers).
Cape Verde have failed to score in 6 of their last 7 matches (Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers).
Cameroon are unbeaten in their 5 matches (4 wins, 1 draw)(Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers).
Cameroon have seen under 2.5 goals in 8 of their last 10 matches (Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers).

Head to Head

Cameroon hold a 3-1 advantage over Cape Verde across their previous five meetings with one draw.

The two teams last met in November 2019 as Cameroon drew 0-0 at home with Cape Verde in an AFCON qualifier.

Cape Verde Form

Cape Verde drew 0-0 away in Cameroon in the reverse fixture in Africa Cup of Nations qualification. They followed that up with a 2-2 home draw against Mozambique before beating Andorra 2-1 away in a friendly match.

In the last FIFA break, Cape Verde lost 2-1 at home to Guinea in a friendly before a goalless draw at home with Rwanda in an AFCON qualifier.

Their last match saw another 0-0 draw against Rwanda in the return fixture. Cape Verde sit fourth in their AFCON qualification group, one point behind Rwanda with a game in hand.

Cape Verde Squad & Team News

Goalkeepers: Vozinha, Iván Cruz, Márcio Rosa

Defenders: Stopira, Ponck, Diney, Lorenzo Fonseca, Roberto Lopes, Jeffry Fortes, Steven Pereira, Dylan Tavares, Tiago Almeida

Midfielders: Marco Soares, Hélder Tavares, Patrick Andrade, Telmo Arcanjo, Jamiro Monteiro, Kuca, João Paulo Fernandes, Bruno Leite, Ericson Silva

Forwards: Djaniny, Ryan Mendes, Gilson Tavares, Lisandro Semedo, Vasco Lopes, Patrick Fernandes, Dodo, Willis Furtado, Papalélé

Defender Steve Fortes and forward Willy Semedo have not been selected as they were not released by their French clubs. Ligue de Football Professionnel is not allowing any France-based players to feature in matches outside of the European Union.

Ryan Mendes will be a key player in attack for Cape Verde having netted a brace in October’s friendly victory away at Andorra.

Cameroon Form

Cameroon drew 0-0 at home with Cape Verde in the first match of Africa Cup of Nations qualification before winning 1-0 in Rwanda. A 4-1 home win against Mozambique followed before 2-0 away win at the same opposition.

Cameroon then featured in the CHAN tournament with only locally-based players as per the rules. They lost 4-0 in the semi-final to Morocco.

Their last match saw a 2-0 defeat to Guinea in the CHAN third place playoff.

Coach Toni Conceiçao is without numerous players due to COVID-19 quarantine regulations. Defender Harold Moukoudi and striker Stéphane Bahoken are among those unable to play.

Also absent is Fulham midfielder Franck Zambo Anguissa and captain Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting, whose callup was sent to the wrong email address. Clinton Njie has been called up in attack and Fai Collins at right back to cover the losses.

Verdict

Cape Verde Islands v Cameroon

Cape Verde are a very goal-shy team and will be looking for a clean sheet here. Normally Cameroon will be fancied but they have a severely weakened squad due to COVID-19. I am therefore backing this match to end level.
