Mozambique vs Cameroon Prediction: Indomitable Lions to hold their nerve

Mozambique and Cameroon collide in their final Group F match at the Africa Cup of Nations on Wednesday (19:00 GMT, Channel 4), with both sides looking to secure a top-two finish.

After stunning Gabon last time out, Mozambique will now look to do the same against their next opponents. My Mozambique vs Cameroon predictions can be found below, including the latest team news and match odds.

Team News

Faisal Bangal was one of two players brought in to start against Gabon last time out and it paid off as he struck the first goal of the game in the 3-2 victory. He is expected to feature in attack for Mozambique again.

With no injuries reported ahead of this fixture, a similar XI is expected to take to the field on Wednesday, so Sunderland left-back Reinildo Mandava should line up again in the centre of defence.

Diogo Calila will man the right side of the back four and will hope to have more of an impact in the final third after getting on the scoresheet last time out.

Football Odds

Cameroon attacker Bryan Mbeumo still awaits his first goal of the tournament and he will be hoping he can get himself up and running in this crunch clash.

Karl Etta Eyong is the only Indomitable Lions star to score in the group stage so far and he may be restored to the starting XI after dropping down to the bench in the draw with the Ivory Coast.

Junior Tchamadeu is out through suspension due to an accumulation of bookings, which may open the door for either Christian Bassogog or Flavien Enzo Boyomo to feature at wing-back, with the two specialising in offensive and defensive play respectively.

Mozambique vs Cameroon Odds

Mozambique have won just one of the eight meetings with Cameroon and they are 9/2 to inflict a rare defeat on them here.

After Cameroon drew with the Ivory Coast last time out, the stalemate might appeal at 12/5.

Cameroon are 8/11 (implied probability of 57.9%) to come away with their eighth win against the Mambas.

He may be waiting for his first goal of the tournament by Mbeumo is the favourite to score anytime at 6/4.

Price Boost - Cameroon & Both Teams To Score @ 3/1 4/1

There are sure to be plenty of nerves among both teams coming into this one as there is just one point between them and a place in the top two at stake.

Mozambique have given themselves a huge lift with their performance against Gabon and they may be sensing an opportunity against Cameroon, who are yet to really get going in this tournament.

But you cannot underestimate the five-time champions, Yes, they had a bit of a drama heading into the tournament surrounding the head coach position but they have managed four points so far and can continue to build on that.

After all, they still managed to win the 2017 edition during an off-field low point, so who's to say they can't do it again?

They have an excellent record against Mozambique but the Mambas may be able to put up a good fight here so this 4/1 Price Boost looks an attractive selection for Wednesday.

Total Goals - Over 2.5 @ 5/4

After five goals were scored in Mozambique's win over Gabon, I wonder if this can spark Cameroon into life in the final third to produce an entertaining contest?

The Mambas are not to be underestimated and Cameroon have more quality than they are showcasing at the moment. With a place in the top two on the line, I predict the stakes will force individuals to step up for their countries and that's why over 2.5 goals could be a smart play.

Three of Mozambique's past four matches have seen at least three goals scored, while over 2.5 goals has struck in two of their last four encounters with Cameroon.
