Cameroon
Since 2015, these two sides have met five times, with four of those encounters finishing under 2.5 goals. History clearly points toward a tight and cautious matchup.
This fixture also suits a low-scoring outcome because neither side can afford a defeat. Both teams know that avoiding a loss would leave them well positioned going into the final group match with four points, which naturally encourages a more controlled and conservative approach.
What we say
Under 2.5 Goals
Ivory Coast are operating without a natural striker, often using Zaha in a central role, which limits attacking efficiency. Cameroon, meanwhile, have looked defensively solid throughout the tournament.
Considering the tactical approach, tournament pressure, and recent head-to-head trends, goals should be limited. A draw would suit both teams, although Ivory Coast may hold a slight edge due to better team cohesion, while Cameroon continue to adjust under a new coach and cope with key absences.
