Benin vs Cameroon Prediction & Betting tips
Make 24 out of 16 – after the preliminary round of the Africa Cup of Nations 2019, the first eight teams from Egypt have to say goodbye. This is where the big calculation starts, because four of the six group thirds will remain in the tournament. Particularly exciting is the situation on the last group match day, because in the groups E and F, all teams still have the chance to progress, but can also retire. There is a duel between David and Goliath in the game between Benin and Cameroon!
The second group match day in Group F was not an advertisement for the football fans, because in both games you had to wait in vain for a goal. Both the top match between Cameroon and Ghana and the match between Benin and Guinea-Bissau ended scoreless. Thus, the indomitable lion from Cameroon missed the early knockout ticket and can not act without pressure against the Benin. Nevertheless, there is a clear favorite in the game between Benin and Cameroon according to current odds – unsurprisingly this Cameroon is called!
Benin:
The Benin is after two matchdays at the Africa Cup 2019 in Egypt actually still without defeat. While the draw against the favorites from Ghana was definitely a surprise, the goalless draw against Guinea-Bissau had to be described as disappointing. The team of head coach Michel Dussuyer would have opened the door with a victory in the direction of the first knockout stage at the Africa Cup of Nations for miles.
In the first three attempts (2004, 2008 and 2010) there were each to cope with the Aus in the first round. This threatens again in 2019, because another draw would most likely not be enough to make the jump into the last sixteen. A victory against the defending champion is not to be expected and despite lucrative odds between Benin and Cameroon this forecast is not recommended.
The Benin, current FIFA World Ranking # 91, is a pure legionnaire team, but many of these legionaries are active in underclass clubs. The now 35-year-old Stephane Sessegnon was for a long time the big star and was also convincing in the English Premier League. Meanwhile, this applies to striker Steve Mounie, who, however, remained completely pale at the previous Africa Cup of Nations 2019. In general, the offensive game is relatively disappointing. Despite oppressive superiority, the Benin against Guinea-Bissau could hardly score significant scores. Only two of the twelve shots on the goal also found their way onto the case. To that end, between the Benin and Cameroon, the tip that both teams do not meet could be an interesting option.
Cameroon :
The defending champion from Cameroon convinced on the first group match day at the Africa Cup of Nations with a very strong performance. In the 2-0 win against Guinea-Bissau Cameroon could have better chance exploitation even a runaway victory celebrate. Playfully, this was certainly one of the strongest performances of all teams at this year’s finals.
In the second group match against the Black Stars from Ghana Cameroon but could rarely put the mark on the game. Ghana was the dominant team for long stretches, although the Seedorf protégés also found two good chances. However, the effectiveness of the opponent’s case this year leaves a little to be desired.
With four points and a goal difference of +2, Cameroon have the best chances to reach the knockout phase before the last game. A draw will definitely be enough, but it can be assumed that the Seedorf protégés want to avoid the ride on the razor blade and even take the book in their own hands. Compared to Benin, the squad of Cameroon is much stronger. The indomitable lions have many players who have succeeded in Europe. In addition, the injury of Eric-Maxim Choupo-Moting in the opening game turned out to be not bad and the PSG Legionnaire came against Ghana for a wild card.
The Africa Cup 2019 has already shown that predictions are often difficult to make in the three-way market, but in this duel between Benin and Cameroon the tip on the favorites is definitely an interesting option. The quality difference is just too big.
