Rabat – Eswatini sit at the bottom of their group table with no points in four games, and are set to take on a Cameroon side eager to stretch their lead on top of the table.
Kick off is at 4 p.m. Moroccan time (GMT) at Mbombela Stadium in Nelspruit, South Africa. Fans in Cameroon can watch the match live on CRTV Sports, while in Eswatini it will be shown on Eswatini TV. Those with subscriptions can also catch the action on FIFA+.
Cameroon, under Belgian boss Marc Brys, have been quite solid so far. Two wins and two draws mean they sit at the top of the group with eight points, but are closely trailed. Libya and Cape Verde are breathing down their necks with seven points each, while Angola sit just two points behind.
Standing across the field is an Eswatini side in deep trouble – zero points from four games, just one goal scored against Mauritius, and no real hope of turning things around.
Dany Namaso and Nathan Ngoumou have both been handed their debut Cameroon call-ups, although it remains to be seen if either will play any part in this one.
Having been initially doubtful to feature due to a calf problem, Napoli midfielder Zambo Anguissa has shaken off a fitness concern and is available for selection here.
Vincent Aboubakar is currently one goal away from 43 international strikes, which would see him move level with Roger Milla in second place in the visitors’ all-time scoring charts.
Predicted Lineups:
Eswatini: Gama; Gamedze, Mamba, Newman, Langa; Dlamini, Mkhontfo, Magagula; Badenhorst, Mabuza, Figareido
Cameroon: Onana; Tolo, Wooh, Dawa, Fai; Ngamaleu, Anguissa, Baleba, Mbeumo; Aboubakar, Magri
Score Prediction:
This match will take place at a neutral venue, meaning Eswatini will not have the home support they might have hoped for. That gives Cameroon a strong chance to take all three points. Cameroon is surely set to win and Eswatini are unlikely to net a goal.
Eswatini 0-2 Cameroon
