Mozambique vs Cameroon Preview & Tips

This is a must-win encounter for Cameroon if they want to close the gap on the Ivory Coast. They were dominant against a poor Mozambique outfit last week so I'm backing a Cameroon win and under 2.5 goals.

Cameroon Form

Cameroon have been inconsistent of late. They finished top of their 2022 AFCON qualifying group but ended their campaign with a 3-1 defeat in Cape Verde and a 0-0 home draw against Rwanda.

Two friendlies against Nigeria followed as they won 1-0 and drew 0-0. Their opening World Cup qualifying bid began with a 2-0 home victory over Malawi but then lost 2-1 in Ivory Coast. That defeat means they can ill afford any more slip ups.

Just a few days ago Cameroon saw off Mozambique 3-1 at home. Eric Choupa-Moting scored a brace while Karl Toto Ekambi added a third.
