Congo and Cameroon meet in the Africa Cup of Nations Qualifications in clearly contrasting form. Cameroon just closed out their latest match with a 3-1 win, while Congo have just lost 0-1 and have been losing match after match. Congo are in a stretch where their attack is badly stuck, having lost 3 in a row and not won any of their last 5, scoring just a single goal in that span, while their defence concedes regularly. Cameroon, meanwhile, have won two in a row and scored 2-3 goals in the matches they won. Looking at the pattern of play over the last 10 matches, Cameroon average 4.11 shots on target per match and 50.8% possession, higher than Congo's 2.4 shots on target per match and 43.14% possession. This game is likely to play out with Cameroon taking the initiative and controlling the tempo more, while Congo will probably defend deep and wait for the occasional counterattack. If Cameroon score first, the game is even more likely to flow in one direction.
