Champions to come out on top
Senegal’s dominant display over Gambia was a statement to other nations, and they are here to fight to defend their title. Senegal are very much capable of doing just that, as indicated by the stats suggested from matchday one.
Pape Gueye opened the scoring after a good passage of play where Sadio Mane picked out the Marseille midfielder.
However, the show was stolen by Metz’s young Lamine Camara, who scored two wonderful goals. He’ll no doubt be a key player for the current holders throughout the tournament.
Cameroon disappointed with a 1-1 draw with Guinea, showing defensive weaknesses. They couldn’t beat the 10 men, despite having a 45-minute advantage. With no wins in their last three matches, this will be a tough game for Indomitable Lions to win.
Senegal are the deserved favourites for this match and are well-positioned to secure a comfortable victory.
Bet 1: Senegal and over 1.5 match goals @ 2.67 with Bet9ja
Senegal’s deadly attack to prove the difference
Senegal showed a ruthless edge to their game against Gambia. Many of the highest-rated teams faltered in round one, but the Teranga Lions didn’t show any nerves or defensive vulnerability.
If Senegal once again start strong and take the lead, Cameroon will be concerned. They’ll have little choice but to take the game to the current champions, and push forward.
This will leave spaces in their defence. With Mane, Ismaila Sarr and Habib Diallo in attack, Senegal are capable of quick counter-attacks and scoring a second goal.
This tip only requires Senegal to win by one goal to return half profit. However, if they can secure a second and win by two, it’ll be a well-priced winner.
Bet 2: Senegal Asian Handicap -0.75 @ 2.29 with Bet9ja
Both Lions to put on a second-half show
Senegal are in a better position due to their first round win over Gambia. Yet, they know a defeat against Cameroon will weaken their position when it comes to finishing top of Group C.
Cameroon know they can’t afford to slip up in the first half, which makes them vulnerable to a possible unexpected early exit from the tournament.
With so much at stake, we could expect a cagey opening 45 minutes. If either team scores in the second half, expect the game to completely open up, especially if Cameroon concede.
Both of these African titans have plenty of experience in these matches. However, Cameroon won’t hold on forever if they play like they did in the first match. This is why we are tipping most goals to come after half-time.
Bet 3: Highest scoring half – second @ 2.17 with Bet9ja
Cameroon capable of getting on the scoresheet
No matter how good Senegal were in their opening match, it would be foolish to rule out Cameroon from scoring.
Cameroon have scored in their last four matches. Although they were frustrated against Guinea, Frank Magri’s header was superbly put away after Georges-Kevin N’Koudoi’s cross.
They are coming up against a defence which hasn’t conceded in their last five. Still, none of those five teams have been anywhere near Cameroon’s quality.
Before those matches, Senegal had conceded one against Algeria and another against Rwanda. This gives us reason to believe Cameroon can score their second goal of the tournament and help us land another winner.
