Mozambique looks to overturn their third World Cup qualifiers this week as they take on Cameroon. The match schedules for Monday evening at the Grand Stade de Tanger, with kickoff at 4 pm.
The guests continue their search for successive wins for the first time in over a year after returning to winning ways last time.
After losing to Ivory Coast, Cameroon wasted no time recovering as they overtook Mozambique three to one on Friday at Stade Omnisports.
Two goals from Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting and a Karl Toko Ekambi strike saw FC Porto open up a two-goal lead; before that, Geny Catamo pulled you back for his side with 10 minutes left on the clock.
The Indomitable Lions will be playing its three last games this year, coming up with two against the group’s current leaders, Ivory Coast.
Sunday’s guests have competed in the World Cup finals more than any other African nation, so they mustn’t lose this match.
The Central Africans have done very poorly at the last three World Cup qualifications, and they will want to take to the streets this time.
Mozambique has just begun qualifying for the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, and it started out strong by tying Ivory Coast. That said, Mozambique hasn’t done much to show that it can compete at the same level as its competitors.

Mozambique Team News
Danilo Muze is suspended for the contest after he received a warning in the final knockings of the hosts’ most recent involvement. In the absence of Muze, 24-year-old Nene is expected to continue in the heart of the midfield alongside Kambala as Goncalves sticks with his preferred 4-4-2 system.
Cameroon Team News
Chouppo-Moting has now scored 17 goals for Cameroon, moving him into the top 10 of Cameroon’s all-time scoring chart. Also, Bayern Munich’s Vincent Aboubakar is one of the most prolific strikers in world football. Therefore, he will be looking to end a two-game goalless streak when his side face bottom-of-the-table Darmstadt.
Prediction and Odds
Given the quality of attacking talent upront, we expect Cameroon to breeze past their opponents easily.
- Cameroon Win
- Goals Under 3.5
- Choupo-Moting to Score
