Burundi vs Cameroon Predictions

Cameroon to Win & Under 2.5 Match Goals – ★★

Cameroon to Win 2-0 – ★

• Cameroon are 102 places above Burundi in the FIFA World Rankings
• Cameroon have lost one of their last 13 matches in normal time
• Burundi’s last three victories came against sides with an average FIFA World Ranking of 131^st

Cameroon buoyed by World Cup qualification

Cameroon scored in the 124^th minute of their World Cup qualifying final against Algeria, a goal which saw Cameroon go through to the Qatar finals on away goals. This AFCON qualification campaign is ideal World Cup preparation for Cameroon as they have been afforded three competitive games in the lead up to the finals in Qatar. Cameroon should have no issues in getting their AFCON campaign off to a winning start against a side ranked 102 places below them in the FIFA World Rankings. Cameroon have lost just one of their last 13 matches in 90 minutes and buoyed by their World Cup exploits Rigobert Song’s side should be tough to beat on Thursday.

Huge step up in class for Burundi

Burundi’s last three victories have all come against sides with an average FIFA World Ranking of 131^st. The hosts face a massive step up in class on Thursday when they take a Cameroon side on who are currently ranked 37^th and are 102 places above Burundi. Burundi aren’t in great form heading into this one, they have won just one of their last seven and were only able to record a point against Namibia in their opening game in Group C.

Cameroon to Win and Under 2.5 Match Goals will be the main selection for this AFCON qualification Group C clash. The hosts should make things difficult for Cameroon but are likely to come up short. In the correct score market, I will take a chance on this finishing 2-0 to the visitors.
