Algeria – Cameroon : Preview & Prediction
Cameroon were surprised at Limbe stadium (0-1) on March 25 and have no choice but to win at the Mustapha Tchaker stadium in Blida to go for an extra time or a qualification. The former Monaco and Lyon man, Slimani, headed home the winner shortly before half-time. Despite a strong domination in the second half (60% possession, 7 shots, 3 on target), the Indomitable Lions were not rewarded and will have to play the game in the return match. This success is good for the Algerians who had lost two matches against Equatorial Guinea (0-1) and Cote d’Ivoire (1-3) during the last CAN in January. Cameroon had obtained the 3rd place at its CAN with a remountada against Burkina Faso (3-3, 5 tab 3) thanks to a goal of Bahoken and a double of Aboubakar. Toko-Ekambi, Choupo-Moting and Aboubakar will be expected to step up to the plate to push their team towards a desired qualification.
Cameroon were shocked in the first leg at home (0-1).
Algeria had scored 16 goals in their last 3 home games (Djibouti, Niger, Burkina Faso).
Cameroon drew their last trip to Algeria (1-1) in October 2016.
The Indomitable Lions have scored 6 goals in their last 3 away games (Cote d’Ivoire, Mozambique, Malawi).
This second meeting should be more offensive than the first match as Cameroon have a goal to recover.
Algeria and Cameroon are both known for their attacking potential and should offer more spectacular football with more goals than in the first leg. The bet on the “+ 1.5 goals” should pass.
