Eswatini Vs Cameroon Preview

Tournament: CAF World Cup Qualifiers

Date: Wednesday, March 19

Kick-off time: 16:00 GMT

Venue: Mbombela Stadium

Eswatini is set to welcome favorites Cameroon in round five action of the CAF World Cup Qualifiers on Wednesday at the Mbombela Stadium.

Eswatini have endured a tough tournament thus far with the team failing to win any of their four matches. They started their tenure against Libya which they eventually lost to them in a narrow 1-0 loss. Since then it has been backward for them losing consecutive matches against Cape Verde, Angola, and Mauritius. Goalscoring has been a major problem for them having scored just one in four matches while conceding another six. However, they still have the chance to turn things around with still a lot to play.

Cameroon on the other hand will be huge favourites to progress from the group considering the fact they are leading the charts now. They currently lead group d with eight points from the starting four matches with still six matches left to play. They started their tenure with a 3-0 win over Mauritius, since then they have won one, and drawn another two. Marc Brys's side have also found the back of the net nine times in these four matches while conceding another three. Bryan Mbeumo is currently the joint top scorer with two goals alongside Vincent Aboubakar.

Eswatini Team News

With matches against Cameroon and Mauritius coming up, Zdravko Logarusic has almost announced the same squad that took the field last time. Only three players who play their trade outside the Eswatini have been selected from the 24-man squad with Coach more emphasis on the local players. With their chances of qualifying already over, this is the perfect time for them to start building for the future.

Cameroon Team News

Cameroon have decided to give two new players the chance to represent their country by giving their first-ever call-up. It marks an exciting chapter for both of them who have caught the eye with their performance this season. Ngoumou of Borussia Monchengladbach and Namosa of Porto are the players who have been called to play a decisive role in the upcoming matches. Andre Onana of Manchester United

Key players to watch in Eswatini Vs Cameroon

Sabelo Ndzinisa (Eswatini)

The 33-year-old international is currently the leading scorer in the history of Eswatini with 14 goals from 34 appearances. Having made his debut in 2013, he has gone on to represent the country 34 times the most in the current team but hasn't been able to score a single goal so far. With Eswatini new in the international scene, his experience will be very beneficial for the home team here given they are playing a strong opponent.

Andre Onana (Cameroon)

Andre Onana is probably one of the biggest names in his homeland having represented the likes of Inter Milan and now Manchester United on the club side. He has emerged as one of the best goalkeepers in the world in a very short time due to his excellent shot-stopping and ball distribution. Onana is one of the very few goalkeepers in the world who is very good in possession and can convert counterattacks with his excellent distribution. So far in the competition, Onana has managed to keep one clean sheet and concede three goals in the other three matches.

Eswatini Vs Cameroon Prediction

The home side has endured a tough start in the group failing to win any of their four matches so far. Their chances of qualifying are already over as winning the next two matches won't be enough for them. Cameroon on the other hand are unbeaten in the group and are clear favourites for the victory considering the quality of players they have at their disposal. We expect the visitors to secure a dominating victory and take a closer step to qualification.

Prediction Score: Eswatini 0-3 Cameroon
