Cameroon vs Eswatini: Prediction and odds on the Match on 04 September 2025

On Thursday, the Indomitable Lions will hope to maintain their unbeaten run in the FIFA World Cup qualifier campaign when they lock horns against Eswatini at the Stade Ahmadou Ahidjo Stadium. Cameroon must secure all the points to stand a chance of playing in the most prestigious tournament ever. Meanwhile, Eswatini are almost not going to qualify this time, considering they had picked up two points from a combined eighteen.

The Indomitable Lions recovered fully from this distasteful performance against Eswatini on the road. Cameroon were the favourites in this encounter, and after a more dominating half, they settled for a tie. Cameroon maintained such a momentum after the break, but could not find the back of the net. All their attempts to break their opponent's low block were fruitless as they picked up a point away from home. The game didn’t produce special moments as both teams shared the spoils on a neutral ground. 

After the stalemate, Cameroon scored three times against Libya to assume the second spot. Vincent Aboubakar found the back of the net twice, while Bryan Mbeumo scored once on their ground. 

Cameroon have drawn three and won three games, scoring twelve and conceding four. The Indomitable Lions have picked up twelve points from a possible eighteen as they sit in second spot on the log. 

The Indomitable Lions will grace the AFCON Tournament for the seventh consecutive season following their decent run in the qualifying round. 

Cameroon Lineup

Coach Marc Bays will have a headache selecting from this squad, and it’s uncertain which team he’ll feature against Eswatini. Onana, Mbeumo and Aboubakar have already reported to the training camp. 

Cameroon's Potential Starting Lineup (4-3-3)

Onana—Tchatchoua, Wooh, Ngadeu, Nagida—Hongla, Baleba—Ngamaleu, Namaso, Mbeumo—Aboubakar

Head Coach: Marc Bays

FIFA Ranking: 155th

The King's Shield picked up their second point in the FIFA World Cup qualifier as they went from two goals up to settling for a (3-3) stalemate. Eswatini saw themselves ahead after eleven minutes into the game, when Thabo Mkhontfo opened the scoreline. Some minutes later, the winger scored again to give his side a halftime advantage. Eswatini lost focus immediately after the break, and their guests responded twice to find themselves back in the match. They scored in the 75th minute again and were almost going to secure their first win until Mauritius equalized in the 91st minute. 

Eswatini have scored four in their last six FIFA World Cup qualifiers, conceding nine times. Eswatini are yet to grace the AFCON tournament in their history, not to talk about the World Cup, and it will be a dream come true if they manage to cement one of the two spots in the group. 

Zdravko Logarusic's men's last competitive win was against Guinea in 2016, and they lack the team to compete against the elites. 

Eswatini Lineup

The King's Shield team comprises local players who lack experience in this competition. Eswatini’s winger, Mkhontfo, who scored a brace against Mauritius, will be called on to inspire his side. 

Eswatini Potential Starting Lineup (4-3-3)

Makhanya—Mkonta, Dlamini, Mabelesa, Thwala—Mkhontfo, Dlamini, Mkhonto—Figuareido, Mamba, Sikhondze

Head coach: Zdravko Logarusic

Both teams settled for a share of the spoils a few months ago, and I have a feeling this encounter will be different.

Cameroon vs Eswatini match prediction 04 September 2025

Eswatini secured their second share of the spoils in the FIFA World Cup qualifiers, ending their run of four consecutive matches without a breakthrough. They deserved the stalemate, and I think they pose a bigger threat in their last two games. 

Meanwhile, Cameroon were fantastic once again and deserved to amass all the points in their most recent FIFA World Cup qualifying game. 

Eswatini are still trying to find their rhythm, while the hosts will be keen to extend their unbeaten run in the FIFA World Cup qualifying game. Cameroon have loads of quality across their squad and with names like Mbeumo, Onana, and Aboubakar, the Indomitable Lions will be confident approaching this game after a stalemate against the same opponent a few months ago. I expect an open match with Cameroon having more of the ball and creating meaningful chances. 

My prediction for this game is that Cameroon will score in both halves, with a coefficient of 1.90 on the 1xbet bookmaker.

My betting tip for this match is BTTS with a coefficient of 3.10 on the Betway bookmaker. 

My final betting tip for the match is that Cameroon score more than once before the break for a coefficient of 2.85 on the Bet365 bookmaker.

Good luck!
