Côte d'Ivoire and Cameroon clash in Round 2 of the AFCON group stages, in a game that could very well decide who tops Group H. Both nations won their opening games by 1-0, with essentially nothing separating them. However, not only will the winner here go top, but you can just see them finishing first. Let’s get into our match prediction.

The Elephants just stomped over Mozambique in a 1-0 victory that should’ve been much more. The reigning AFCON champions, Côte d'Ivoire, kept The Mambas to just 4 shots. But what’s even more interesting are the 6 big chances Côte d'Ivoire created, which is the third most of the tournament so far. While the offence could’ve been much better, Côte d'Ivoire’s defence was unquestionable.

They remain undefeated in 12 of 14 games, while keeping a clean sheet in 11 matches! Cameroon will have to bring their A-game if they hope to walk away with all three points, or even one. The Indomitable Lions also won their opener against Gabon in a heavily contested game. But how feasible is a win against Côte d'Ivoire for a Cameroon side that has only scored in two of its last five games?

Côte d'Ivoire - Cameroon: Form Analysis

It’s no exaggeration to call Côte d'Ivoire one of the best African football nations today, after the performances they’ve just had.

In the just-concluded CAF World Cup qualifiers, Côte d'Ivoire remained undefeated, winning eight of ten games. But that’s not even the most interesting part.

The Elephants kept a clean sheet in all ten games, while scoring 25 goals (2.5 per game).

The reigning AFCON champions have now also kept a clean sheet in 16 of their last 21 games in all competitions. Talk about a frightening defence.

Cameroon’s form may not exactly compare, but they’ve also been among the better-performing African nations. Cameroon finished second in their WC qualifier group stage and were only defeated once.

The Indomitable Lions only failed to qualify for the 2026 World Cup after losing out to DR Congo in a 90+1-minute winner from Chancel Mbemba. Still, that loss is only one of three over Cameroon’s last 20 games.

Côte d'Ivoire & Cameroon Squad Analysis

Several players arguably qualify as the best for Côte d'Ivoire over the year, which is no surprise considering the level of success they’ve achieved.

The front line of Amad Diallo and Yan Diomande gets most of the praise. However, Roma’s Evan Ndicka has been a rock at the back, and perhaps the key to Côte d'Ivoire’s success.

Ndicka has helped keep a clean sheet in his last eight games for Côte d'Ivoire and the last two for AS Roma.

However, the forward pairing of Etta Eyong and Bryan Mbeumo will be a step up from the teams Ndicka has faced in that span. Eyong and Mbuemo combined for the only goal in the win over Gabon.

Mbeumo, who leads in goals for Man United this season, now has a goal or assist in each of Cameroon’s last four competitive games outside friendlies, with 5 G/A in total.

If keeping yet another clean sheet is on the agenda for Côte d'Ivoire, they must find a way to keep Mbuemo quiet up front. In turn, Bryan and Eyong may have to be extra creative if they hope to crack The Elephants' seemingly impenetrable defence.

Our Côte d'Ivoire vs Cameroon Prediction

Côte d'Ivoire’s air-tight defence will cause a lot of problems for the Cameroon defence, which has struggled to score goals in recent games. Even The Indomitable Lions are just as capable of keeping The Elephants quiet, which is why we’re backing at least one team to keep a clean sheet.

They’ve already done so in their opening games, which also makes it six and three competitive games in a row for Côte d'Ivoire and Cameroon, respectively. Hence, our Côte d'Ivoire vs Cameroon prediction is Both Teams to Score - No.

Côte d'Ivoire vs Cameroon - Other Interesting Predictions

Côte d'Ivoire wins

Odds 2.05
Côte d'Ivoire has not only been the much better team, but also boasts a much stronger squad than Cameroon. The Elephants are stacked in almost all areas, especially in attack. Amad Diallo, Yan Diomande, and Wilfred Zaha lead the attack in this AFCON. Former Barca man, Frank Kessie, and Forest’s Ibrahim Sangare control the middle of the park ahead of Roma’s Ndicka and Atalanta’s Kossounou in defence. These players are mostly responsible for Côte d'Ivoire’s staggering 15 wins in their last 19 competitive games outside friendlies.
