AFCON 2025: Mozambique vs Cameroon preview, prediction, team news, and head-to-head

Cameroon were one of the favourites heading into this tournament, but they have failed to sparkle so far. This could be the chance for a statement win.

Mozambique head into the final round of Group F aiming to extend their fairytale run, while Cameroon arrive in Agadir knowing that avoiding defeat should secure a top-two finish.

Sunday’s dramatic 3–2 victory over Gabon delivered the Mambas’ first-ever win at an AFCON finals, propelling Chiquinho Conde’s side firmly into the qualification picture. That historic result has placed them in a strong position to progress, at least as one of the best third-placed teams.

For Cameroon, the equation is simpler. A draw would be sufficient to confirm progression, while victory could see them top the group depending on the result between Ivory Coast and Gabon.

However, performances have been mixed; the Indomitable Lions edged Gabon 1–0 in their opener before labouring to a 1–1 draw with Ivory Coast, managing just two shots on target in that contest.

History heavily favours the West Africans in this fixture. While Mozambique won the first meeting between the two sides back in 1983, they have since lost all seven of the subsequent head-to-head encounters, including a 1-0 defeat during 2022 World Cup qualifying.

Mozambique: Chiquinho Conde appears to have no fresh injury concerns. After his goal-scoring heroics against Gabon, Faisal Bangal is expected to lead the line again.

Cameroon: The Indomitable Lions will be forced into at least one change due to Junior Tchamadeu’s suspension. Eric Junior Dina Ebimbe is the most likely candidate to step in on the right flank.

Mozambique (4-2-3-1): Ernani, Calila, Mexer, Mandava, Langa, Guima, Amade, Catamo, Domingues, Witi, Bangal.

Cameroon (3-4-2-1): Epassy, Malone, Kotto, Tolo, Ebimbe, Avom, Baleba, Yongwa, Mbeumo, Namaso, Kofane.
