Cameroon vs Mozambique Prediction
Cameroon are favorites and the central Africans also have home advantage in their favor. However, the five-time African champions have shown a tendency to underperform when the odds are in their favor and Mozambique can take advantage of this.
Neither side are famed for their attacking prowess but we are backing the Indomitable Lions to secure a narrow victory.
Prediction: Cameroon 1-0 Mozambique
