Zimbabwe vs Cameroon Prediction and Betting Tips | September 10th 2024

Zimbabwe and Cameroon go head-to-head at the Mandela National Stadium in Group J of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers on Tuesday. Both sides head into the game off the back of contrasting opening-day results, with Marc Brys’ men claiming a hard-fought victory over Namibia.

Zimbabwe were denied a dream start to their quest for a place in Morocco as they were held to a goalless draw by Kenya in the group opener at the Mandela National Stadium last Friday.

Before that, Michael Nees’ side suffered a group-stage exit from the COSAFA Cup despite finishing second in Group B with six points from three games.

Next up for Zimbabwe is the stern challenge of taking on an opposing side whom they have failed to get the better of in their last six encounters since 1995.

Cameroon, on the other hand, picked up a 1-0 victory over Namibia in their Group J curtain-raiser at the Roumdé Adjia Stadium on Saturday.

Veteran striker Vincent Aboubakar grabbed the headlines as he netted the only goal of the game five minutes after the hour-mark to hand Brys’ men all three points.

Cameroon, who are 51st in the latest FIFA World Rankings, will look to pick up back-to-back victories for the first time since January 2023 and open up an early lead at the top of the table.
