Cameroon vs Zimbabwe Prediction: The Indomitable Lions will win this dead rubber fixture

On Tuesday, the Indomitable Lions will play their final qualifying game against Zimbabwe at the Stade Omnisport Roumde Adjia Stadium. Both teams have been pretty decent since the start of this campaign, and they’ll be pleased to end this fixture with a point at least, since nothing is at stake here.

The Indomitable Lions have been up and running in this tournament, picking up eleven points from a combined fifteen. After playing the entire first forty-five minutes with just two goals, Cameroon changed gear after the break, creating three big chances and failing to convert any. The toothless stalemate was their second since this tournament began. 

Cameroon have drawn twice and won three games, scoring six and conceding once. The Indomitable Lions have picked up eleven points from a possible fifteen as they sit at the apex of the log. 

Cameroon will grace the AFCON Tournament for the seventh consecutive season.

The Warriors have been impressive lately, heading here without a defeat in four games. Following their back-to-back wins against Namibia, Zimbabwe settled for a positive share of the spoils on the road. The result was all they needed to secure a spot in Morocco next year. Zimbabwe have picked up nine points from a combined fifteen as they sit second on the log. 

The Warriors have won twice and drawn three times on the ground, benefiting from a fragile Namibia team. 

Cameroon have won once and drawn twice over their previous three meetings against Zimbabwe. Cameroon have been pretty decent on their home turf, and I think they’ll likely win this game. Even though the guests will be poised to maintain their undefeated run in the group, there is little or no motivation against the hosts, who would be careful not to disvirgin their home turf in this group. Cameroon are expected to win and score more than once here for 1.86.

Zimbabwe are also capable of getting at least a goal here, but it’ll be pretty tricky since Onana will be in goal.

I also think Cameroon will score before the break for 1.78.

This game will produce more goals after the break for 2.17.

Good luck!
