Cameroon and Gambia, both hopeful to advance to the knockout stage of the Africa Cup of Nations, will battle it out in a crucial Group C match at Stade de la Paix on Tuesday.
Gambia vs Cameroon Betting Tips : Cameroon to Win
As Group C enters its final 90 minutes, all outcomes are still possible. There’s an opportunity for Cameroon to overtake Guinea for the second spot if both group matches go as they anticipate. We hold the opinion that Rigobert Song’s team has the necessary strength to emerge victorious in their match against Gambia.
The West Africans have made a negative impression during the AFCON campaign thus far, failling to put a single point on the board or light up the scoreboard after the first two group-stage matches, losing 0-3 against the current African champions Senegal, only to fall in a narrow 0-1 defeat to Guinea four days later.
While Tom Saintfiet’s team is working hard to protect their dream of moving on to the knockout stage, their final group-stage challenge doesn’t inspire much confidence. They have suffered losses in all three matches against Cameroon, including one defeat in the previous AFCON edition when the Indomitable Lions easily secured a 2-0 victory, advancing them to the semifinals.
The five-time AFCON winners, currently in third place in Group C, were able to add a single point to their tally due to a 1-1 draw against Guinea on the tournament’s first day. However, a 1-3 defeat against Senegal on the second matchday puts them in a challenging position to advance.
Even though earning maximum points on the final day of the group stage doesn’t automatically secure a spot in the knockout round, Rigobert Song’s team aims to claim all victories to finish as one of the top third-placed teams.
Undoubtedly, this match is marked as do-or-fail for Cameroon, who should come out with all their guns from the opening minute on Tuesday to secure as resounding a victory as possible. Given that the goal difference could decide who will go directly to the elimination phase of the AFCON, we expect the Indomitable Lions to prove their quality on the field.

Gambia team news
Given the slim chances of his team advancing to the knockout stage of the African Cup of Nations, Belgian tactician Tom Saintfiet is aware that the match against Cameroon could be his last as the coach of Gambia.
Failing to secure any points in the opening two group-stage matches, the 50-year-old is expected to make some changes to the starting XI, with Feyenoord right-winger Yankuba Minteh being the prime candidate to kick off Tuesday’s showdown.

Cameroon team news
Meanwhile, Cameroon is anxiously monitoring the physical condition of their pivotal striker and the third-highest goal scorer in the national team’s history, Vincent Aboubakar (37G), as he sat out the initial two AFCON trials.
Despite a less-than-ideal debut in the AFCON, conceding three goals in a 1-3 defeat to Senegal on matchday two of Group C, Man Utd’s first-choice goalkeeper, Andre Onana, is expected to retain his position between the posts.
