Cameroon are back at the Olembe Stadium for their second match of the tournament. They registered a hard-fought win over Burkina Faso in their opening match and another win here could confirm Cameroon’s qualification for the next round from Group A. For Ethiopia, they put up a gallant fight after being reduced to 10 men early in their opening game against Cape Verde, but still lost narrowly 1-0. This match is now a must-win for Ethiopia if they want to keep their hopes of staying in the tournament alive.

CAMEROON
Hosts Cameroon needed 2 penalties to help them secure a win against stubborn Burkina Faso in their opening match. The Indomitable Lions should have won by a bigger margin but they were wasteful. Nevertheless, they can take inspiration from the fact that they had to fight from behind after Burkina Faso opened the scoring midway in the first half. Captain Vincent Abubakar scored the two goals for Cameroon and will be leading the attack again in this second match.
If Cameroon can give a similar spirited performance like in the first game, victory will be theirs here. They come up against the weakest team in the group on paper; a team that they have beaten in their last two meetings. Cameroon have now won all their last 5 straight matches in all competitions and will be confident of making it six in a row.
ETHIOPIA
The Walia Ibex of Ethiopia were unlucky to get an early sending off in their first match against Cape Verde, which they eventually lost 1-0. This has left them with a seemingly impossible task of getting wins against Cameroon and Burkina Faso in order to qualify for the next round. Nevertheless, coach Wubetu Abate will be proud of how his team fought throughout the whole game despite playing with a man less.
Ethiopia’s major problem is in the attack. Yes, they scored 3 goals in the friendly win over Sudan just before this tournament, but they have now returned just 3 goals in their last 6 competitive matches. That friendly win is also their only win in the last 6 matches in all competitions. They go into this match knowing very well that another loss would confirm their early exit from the tournament.

OUR CAMEROON – ETHIOPIA TIP
Cameroon look strong and playing at home adds them more motivation to go for the win here. They want to secure qualification from the group as early as possible and Ethiopia seems to be there for the taking. However, Cameroon need to be more clinical so that they can turn their domination into goals to get the victory.
Our betting strategies can help you get bigger wins.
Ethiopia need to start scoring goals if they are to win their matches and get the points they need. This may look like a tough task against a tough Cameroon side playing at home. Ethiopia will be inspired by their gallant display with 10 men for their opening match. However, it may not be enough against a Cameroon side that seems to be getting better with each match. We foresee a comfortable win for Cameroon.
