Both teams were surprisingly absent from the last championship. After all, the African teams did not do well there at all and neither team made it out of 5, the closest was Senegal who dropped out on a score. But this year, African teams look more competitive, which is due to good citizenship work. For example, the likes of Ivory Coast have nationalised Haller, who also had French citizenship.
Cameroon is the odds-on favourite, but I don't see it that way. What favours Cameroon is a goalkeeper, which is really rare in Africa. Most goalkeepers play for African teams and the quality is really indescribable compared to, for example, Onana (Cameroon). Onana is the goalkeeper at Ajax, where his contract is expiring and he should have no shortage of suitors. However, it should be taken into account that he has not been playing for a long time, he had a penalty for doping, but his sentence was shortened and he is back. It must be taken into account that he will lack match practice. So far he has only played against Mozambique, where he kept a clean sheet.
Onana's biggest fear should probably be his Ajax teammate and the aforementioned Sebastian Haller, he is playing great and, for example, scored 4 goals in the Champions League against Sporting. In the league he has 12 games and 7 goals. Also have to mention Cornet who moved to Burnley and has 4 goals in 6 games. Overall, I think Ivory Coast have the better team and the fact that they only need a point seems more than playable to me at these odds.
Prediction:
Double Chance: Draw or Ivory Coast @ 1.57 (bet365)
