Expert Betting Tips

Canon Yaounde have not been too good this season, but I will trust them. While Bamenda are not too far from it, this team has failed to win in recent times, and being on the road is not a good one in this situation. While I feel the two teams' focus will be on avoiding defeat, their past fixtures have shown that this is another game of few goals. I will pick Canon Yaounde to win at full time, while this game ends with just one goal.
