Nigeria vs Cameroon Prediction and Match Preview

• Nigeria will enter their AFCON play-off clash following a three-match unbeaten streak from their group stage games.
• Cameroon won, drew and lost one apiece of their three group stage games this AFCON season and had to find a spot in the knockouts, despite the inconsistency.
• All the three AFCON matches played by Nigeria this season had goals under 2.5 ft.

Nigeria’s exceptional display in the group stage outings helped them to advance it to the knockouts against an inconsistent Cameroon side. The Nigerian team won the last two matches with a clean sheet display, which is worth enough noting. Meanwhile, Cameroon had a four-game winless run before sealing their latest victory against Gambia.

Moving on, the hosting advantage and the impressive history in the AFCON will help the Nigerian side to have some spirits. The three time champions Nigerians have advanced to the Round of 16 minimum in the last 14 seasons they took part in. When facing such an in-form team, we can expect Cameroon to have a tough test on Sunday at Stade-Felix Houphouet-Boigny.

Recent Meetings

• Nigeria was unbeaten in eight of the past 10 head-to-head clashes against Cameroon.
• Three of the last five clashes between these two had goals under 2.5 ft.
• Nigeria has a 100% unbeaten record against Cameroon in their hosting clashes, barring a single match.

Nigeria vs Cameroon Prediction

Nigeria has lost just once in the past eight matches wearing a home jersey. They won four on that stretch too. On the other side, Cameroon is having an unimpressive away form, as the team recorded 13 winless games in the past 14 across all competitions. On top of that, they conceded a 3-1 AFCON defeat against Senegal on the road.

Since Nigeria has an upper hand in the recent tradition of this match-up, we like to suggest a home win as the main pick for this match. Another thing to be noted is that all the matches played by Nigeria during this AFCON season were low-scoring. In addition, their latest clashes have often been under 2.5 goal affairs. Knowing that Nigeria bagged a clean sheet victory in the last two AFCON matches, the under 2.5 goals option& Both teams to score no as the second pick seems ideal.
