Congo have struggled to score
Bethuel Muzeu's goal settled Congo's opener against Namibia. Congo's previous three senior internationals ended in a 1-0 loss to Morocco, a 3-1 defeat by Niger and a 1-1 draw with Tanzania.
That sequence contains only two Congo goals and no victories. It is a poor attacking return against which to oppose a Cameroon side that has just scored three.
Namaso contributed at both ends of the attack
Danny Namaso supplied the assist for Dorinel Nyengue's opener against Comoros, then scored Cameroon's third. Bryan Mbeumo added the other goal shortly after half-time.
Comoros did pull the score back to 2-1, so Cameroon had work left to do before Namaso settled the match. Their previous game was a 2-0 win over China, giving them five goals across two successive victories.
Expect resistance rather than a rout
Congo kept Namibia and Morocco to one goal apiece. Those defeats suggest a closer game than a simple comparison of the opening scores might imply.
The away win is short at @1.26, but Congo's shortage of goals is the reason we still favour it. Cameroon have recently produced goals from Nyengue, Mbeumo and Namaso; Congo have not scored more than once in any of those four senior fixtures.
Verdict
Back Cameroon to win @1.26. Congo's limited scoring is the key weakness, even if their defence keeps the margin narrow.
