Mozambique vs Cameroon Team News
Mozambique
There are no injury concerns for the home side for this encounter. We expect the hosts to field a similar squad for the game in the reverse fixture on Friday.
However, defender Danilo Muzé picked up a straight red card coming on as a second-half substitute in the last outing and is suspended for the game.
Injuries: None
Doubtful: None
Suspension: Danilo Muzé
Cameroon
Out of the 28-man squad announced for the two qualifying games this month, only Paul-Georges Ntep is ruled out on account of injury. Ignatius Ganago was also called up by coach Toni Conceição.
With the team recording a 3-1 win on Friday, we expect that the starting XI will be more or less the same here.
À noter que Paul-Georges Ntep ne participera à ce stage à cause d'une blessure en club. Le Sélectionneur Antonio Conceicao a appelé Ignatius Ganago pour le remplacer. https://t.co/lVbaxX8EYj

Mozambique vs Cameroon Prediction
Mozambique scored their first goal of the campaign and will be looking to build on the momentum to find the back of the net here as well. Cameroon are placed second in the Group D standings and a win here would go a long way in helping them secure top spot.
Both teams make a trip to Morocco for this game and that could have an impact on the outcome of the game. But all things considered, a win for Cameroon looks like the most likely outcome here.
Prediction: Mozambique 1-2 Cameroon.
