Venue: Ahmadou Ahidjo Stadium

Cameroon are back in action in the CAF World Cup Qualifiers as they take on Eswatini in round seven of the group stage. Let's take a close look at the Cameroon vs Eswatini Preview, which is surely a crucial one for the home side.

Cameroon National Team are one of the favourites to secure their place in the 2026 FIFA World Cup as they maintain a solid place in the table, languishing second with 12 points from the opening six matches. They are trailing the leader, Cape Verde, by just one point with more than four matches to follow. Marc Brys will be proud of his team with the way they have been performing, as they are the only team unbeaten in the group with three wins and three draws. Vincent Aboubakar remains their top scorer with four goals, with Bryan Mbeumo following with three.

Eswatini National Team, on the other hand, find themselves bottom of the table after six matches, having only registered two points, which came in their draws against Mauritius and Cameroon at home time, which was arguably their best performance. With their chances of making it to the World Cup looking over, all they can do is at least perform well so that they move up in the table. Pjilani Mkhontfo is their top scorer in this competition with two goals and will be the danger man for them here.

Along with them, Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting makes his way back into form after impressing with his performance in MLS. However, all eyes will be on Vincent Aboubakar, who remains the top scorer for them in this competition.
