Fast Start for the Favourites
Cameroon are on the verge of elimination from this year’s African Cup of Nations. They can still save a place in the knockout stages, but they must win here and hope that Senegal can beat Guinea in the other match in Group C.
I’m backing Rigobert Song’s side to get the job done and make a fast start here. We can bet Cameroon to be winning at half-time and full-time at odds of 2.57 with Bet9ja.
Cameroon have beaten Gambia in the last three head-to-heads between the sides. They met in the AFCON in 2022 and the game finished 2-0. Tom Saintfiet’s side have failed to score in both of their group matches so far.
Bet 1: Cameroon half-time/full-time 2.57 Bet9ja
Cameroon Must Do Some Damage
Goal difference could be crucial in determining the outcome of this group. Therefore, the second of our Gambia vs Cameroon predictions is for Cameroon to win by at least two goals. This bet is available via bet9ja’s Asian handicap market at odds of 2.99.
Cameroon drew with Guinea, their rivals for 2nd place, so they need to finish with a superior goal difference than their rivals. Expect the favourites to go for the jugular here. They have won by the required two-goal margin in their last two matches against Gambia.
The Gambians lost 3-0 to Senegal earlier in the tournament and they could be put to the sword once again. Guinea only managed a 2-0 win over Gambia. However, Koba Diawara’s side were extremely wasteful in front of goal, and the stats suggest they should have scored more.
Bet 2: Cameroon Asian Handicap -1.5 2.99 Bet9ja
Gambia’s Plight to Continue
The next of our tips is for Cameroon to win, but we are also backing them to keep a clean sheet in the match. We can back this using bet9ja’s 1×2 & NG market at odds of 2.41.
Gambia are unable to qualify heading into this one, and they have been toothless in their previous group matches. They failed to muster a single shot on target against Guinea. Despite showing a little more fight against Senegal, they had just 31% possession. They are likely to be starved of possession here.
Andre Onana will be keen to put in a good performance in the Cameroon goal. Even though he has been highly scrutinised since going to Manchester United, Onana has proven himself to be a solid shot-stopper in recent years. He is unlikely to face a barrage of shots here.
Bet 3: Cameroon to win & NG 2.41 Bet9ja
Magri Must Shine in Aboubakar’s Absence
Vincent Aboubakar seems to be unavailable once again. His goals have been sorely missed by Cameroon. However, it’s do-or-die for the other forwards as they aim to steer their country into the knockout stages.
Frank Magri scored in Cameroon’s opening game against Guinea. He was then chosen to lead the attack against Senegal, but failed to make an impact. He is likely to see more of the ball in this fixture, and he has the ability to come up trumps once again.
Magri has scored four goals for Toulouse in Ligue 1 this season, and we can back him to find the net here at 3.40 with Bet9ja.
Bet 4: Frank Magri to score 3.50 Bet9ja
