Cameroon vs Angola Preview – Match Preview
Cameroon are almost sure to finish second in Group D of the FIFA World Cup qualifiers because they have a +10 better goal difference than Libya. Even if they lose this match, they are very likely to stay in second place.
However, if Cameroon win today and Cape Verde lose or draw their final game, Cameroon will move up to first place and qualify directly for the World Cup. The pressure is high because finishing second means they’ll have to play another qualifying round.
In September, Cameroon beat Eswatini 3-0 at home, then lost 1-0 away to Cape Verde, which increased the pressure on them. But last week, they bounced back with a 2-0 win over Mauritius away, securing second spot.
Angola, on the other hand, are fourth in the group, and no matter what happens in this game, their position won’t change. They are six points ahead of Mauritius (5th) and four points behind Libya (3rd).
With no chance to qualify, Angola will mainly focus on preparing for the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) later this year. Their World Cup qualifying campaign hasn’t gone well.
In September, they beat Mauritius at home but then lost to Libya at home, ending their qualification hopes. Last Wednesday, they could only manage a 2-2 draw away to Eswatini.
