On October 16, 2023, at Stade Félix Bollaert-Delélis in Lens, France, football enthusiasts will witness a long-anticipated international friendly between Senegal and Cameroon. The last time these two teams met was in the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations, where they played to a goalless draw.
Teams: Senegal vs Cameroon
Date: October 16, 2023
Time: 7:30 PM UK Time
Venue: Stade Félix Bollaert-Delélis, Lens, France
With Senegal drawing twice, winning two, and losing their latest encounter in their last 5 games, and Cameroon winning just one in their last five games, it’s likely we’ll see over 1.5 goals in this match. Both teams have shown vulnerability in defense.
Prediction: Over 1.5 goals
Seven years after their memorable Quarter final clash, which ended in a goalless draw and saw Cameroon emerge victorious, Senegal and Cameroon national football teams are set to rekindle their rivalry. Senegal enters the match with a determination to amend their recent loss in a friendly against Algeria on September 12. Recognizing their vulnerability in defense, they will likely place extra emphasis on shoring up their backline to halt their streak of conceding goals in four consecutive matches.
Cameroon, on the other hand, approaches this match with renewed confidence following a commanding 3-0 victory over Burundi in the Group C qualifying round. However, they too have a defensive hurdle to overcome, as they have conceded goals in six consecutive away matches.
Senegal: Mendy, Sarr, Gueye, Mane, Jackson, Sabaly, Ciss, Diallo, Koulibaly, Ndiaye, Niakhate
Cameroon: Mbeumo, Mbaizo, Gonzalez, N’Koulou, Kunde, Fai, Ngamaleu, Kemen, Ntcham, Ondoa, Toko Ekambi
