With top spot in Group J of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers still up for grabs, Cameroon and Zimbabwe will do battle at the Stade Ahmadou Ahidjo on Tuesday. The home side are unbeaten in each of their last seven meetings against the visitors, whose last win in this fixture came back in the 1994 World Cup qualifying round of matches. Nicolas Ngamaleu and Yvan Neyou were both hauled off with respective injury scares against Namibia last time out, making their involvement for Cameroon here currently uncertain.
Should any of the aforementioned players be deemed unfit to participate, Georges-Kevin N'Koudou and Jean-Charles Castelletto will be the favourites to come into the hosts' lineup. Skipper Vincent Aboubakar failed to close in on Roger Milla in second place of his nation's all-time scoring table but is now up to 107 international caps. Following his strike against Kenya, Tawanda Maswanhise has now opened his account for Zimbabwe to make it four goals in his last four matches for club and country.
Gerald Takwara could see his streak of having started all five AFCON qualifiers come to an end here after the 30-year-old was forced off with an injury last time out. Cameroon possible starting lineup: Onana; Tolo, Wooh, Ngadeu, Tchatchoua; Hongla; Bassogog, Magri, Neyou, N'Koudou; Aboubakar Zimbabwe possible starting lineup: Arubi; Zemura, Hadebe, Godknows, Garananga; Rinomhota, Nakamba; Maswanhise, Munetsi, Musona; Billiat Both teams have given a good account of themselves over the last couple of matches, and Tuesday's encounter could really swing either way. That said, we are backing the home side to emerge triumphant at the sound of the full-time whistle.
