Senegal vs Cameroon Prediction: We expect the Lions of Teranga to exert dominance over their opponent

Without a doubt, Senegal will be looking to continue their impressive form when they face off against Cameroon at the Stade de Yamoussoukro Stadium on Friday. After a complete dominance against Gambia, the Lions of Teranga are in high spirits and confident of another fantastic display. In contrast, Cameroon had a lackluster start with a draw against ten-man Guinea, which raises some doubts about their current form. However, they can't be completely ruled out, and it will be interesting to see if they can give Senegal a tough fight.

FIFA Ranking: 20th

The Lions of Teranga, who have only won the AFCON title once in their history, kicked off their campaign with a deserving victory over Gambia. Papa Gueye found the back of the net with four minutes on the pitch, while Gambia were reduced to ten men just before the break. Senegal increased their tempo and scored two more goals to become one of the two sides to have won (3-0) in the first round of the AFCON Cup. 

Senegal have picked up thirteen points in their previous five matches, scoring nine without conceding. 

Aliou Cisse's men are second in the FIFA World Cup qualifying round, with a win and share of the spoils. The African Champions are among the best in Africa and head here sky-high in confidence. 

Senegal Starting Lineup: Mendy, Koulibaly, Niakhate, A. Diallo, Jakobs, Diatta, Gueye, Camara, Ismaila Sarr, H. Diallo, Sadio Mane

Key Player: Sadio Mane

The second most successful side in the AFCON Tournament began their journey with a (1-1) stalemate. The Indomitable Lions, who have been underwhelming in recent games, couldn't win against ten-man Guinea. Cameroon went behind after ten minutes of play but responded after the break, even though they were lucky Guinea were shown a red card. 

The Indomitable Lions have struggled in recent games and have managed one win over their previous six games in all competitions. They won their AFCON Qualifying group with seven points from four games, scoring six and conceding three times. 

Cameroon Starting Lineup: Fabrice; Ebosse, Castelletto, Christopher Woow, Moukoudi, Yougwa; Ntcham, Zambo Anguissa, Kemen; Frank Magri, N’Koudoy, Ekambi

Key Player: Zambo Anguissa

Over their previous two meetings, Senegal have won once, while Cameroon have recorded a victory after ninety minutes of play. Senegal head here with a distinctive display in their opening game, scoring three times without conceding. At the same time, Cameroon couldn't defeat ten men Guinea. The Indomitable Lions have been underwhelming in recent games, and with the absence of veteran players like Mbeumo (injured), Choupo Moting, Vincent Abubakar (injured), and Onana, we can't see them pulling any stunt here. Senegal will be poised to maintain their decent run against Cameroon after the victory over Gambia. Sadio Mane didn't score in their opening match, the same as Jackson, and we expect a solid display from them here. This game will be evenly contested as Cameroon can't be totally ruled out; bet home win or draw and over 1.5 goals for 1.93.

We expect Senegal to win for 2.08.

This game might end in a halftime stalemate for 1.89.

Good luck!
