Cameroon vs Guinea Bissau Prediction & Betting tips
The Africa Cup has been going on for some time, but on Tuesday evening it is finally Cameroon and Guinea Bissau’s turn to take action. Cameroon won the last edition of the Africa Cup, and therefore hopes to extend its title. Guinea Bissau, on the other hand, is still looking for its first ever Africa Cup victory.
Cameroon:
Cameroon is Africa’s reigning champion, so at least it is remarkable that the bookmakers regard De Ontembare Leeuwen as a distant outsider for tournament winnings. National coach Clarence Seedorf does not have an absolute top player such as Egypt (Mohammed Salah), Algeria (Riyad Mahrez) and Senegal (Sadio Mane), but he has one of the strongest selections of this Africa Cup. The defense is particularly solid under the leadership of Ajax goalkeeper Andre Onana.
However, there is also plenty to criticize about this Cameroon. For example, West Africans scored only six times in their six qualifying matches. In addition, in the run-up to this tournament, there was a fuss about match premiums and bonuses, as a result of which the players initially refused to board the plane. No ideal preparation, although Seedorf also sees advantages: ‘There was some tension, but the players have resolved this dispute in an adult manner with the football association. In fact, I think this situation has brought the players closer together. My team is ready, and we cannot wait for the first game against Guinea Bissau. ”
Guinea Bissau:
Compared with Cameroon, Guinea Bissau is still a rookie at this level. The country only participates in the Africa Cup for the second time this summer, after it fell in the group stage two years ago with its debut. This tournament is also one of the country’s underdogs, although coach Baciro Cande is ambitious: “We want to survive the group stage, and hopefully reach the quarter-finals afterwards.” With countries such as Cameroon and Ghana in the group, that seems impossible, although Guinea Bissau could indeed qualify as one of the best numbers three for the knockout phase.
The fact is that Guinea Bissau traveled to Egypt with a very inexperienced selection. The 23 players have on average less than nine matches behind their name. So my expectations are not very high, although with Zezinho Lopes and former Portuguese youth international Romario Balde, the country has some potential eye-catchers in its ranks.
