Senegal vs Cameroon Prediction 19.01.2024

• Competition: African Cup of Nations
• Date: 19.01.2024
• Kickoff: 17:00 UTC / 18:00 CET
• Venue: Charles Konan Banny Stadium (Yamoussoukro)

Senegal, a strong contender for the title in the African Cup of Nations, affirmed their status with a convincing 3-0 win over Gambia in the first round match. The victory, secured with goals from Gueye and Camara (who scored twice), was more than routine for Senegal. The group derby could potentially arrive at an opportune time for Cisse and his team. In the first two rounds of the 2026 World Championship Qualifications, they have already garnered 4 points.

Cameroon showed impressive performance in the Qatar World Cup, despite not advancing beyond the group stage. Their win against Brazil and tie against Serbia demonstrated their potential to excel in the upcoming years. They didn’t live up to their favorites tag against Guinea, settling for a draw. However, they could affirm their spot in the knockout round in their final game against Gambia, in addition to their derby against Senegal.

Senegal vs Cameroon pick: UNDER 0.5 GOALS 1st HALF

In their previous seven head-to-head matches, these teams have never scored more than a single goal within the game, even when extra time was included. Their most recent encounter was a friendly game in October of the previous year, where Senegal emerged victorious with a 1-0 win. Their preceding rivalry was in the quarterfinals of the same tournament, resulting in a goalless draw after 120 minutes. A 0-0 outcome is quite common in their matches and could likely occur again. This game could hinge on a single defensive error. The first half is anticipated to be lackluster, perhaps with a few near-goal opportunities, but betting on a goal-free first half seems a promising option.
