Cameroon vs Gabon Head-to-Head

Cameroon 0-0 Gabon Cameroon 2-1 Gabon

Only ever faced each other twice and both times have been close games, with one being a draw and the second only being a narrow win for Cameroon. The last match that these 2 played was 8 years ago so they have changed a lot since that game was played. There is very little to learn from these previous matches however, with Cameroon having won the only match out of the 2 they will go in with the slight edge.

Previous Cameroon and Gabon Match Analysis

Cameroon last 5 matches: Cameroon 3-0 Eswatini (H) World Cup Qualification Cape Verde 1-0 Cameroon (A) World Cup Qualification Mauritius 0-2 Cameroon (A) World Cup Qualification Cameroon 0-0 Angola (H) World Cup Qualification Cameroon 0-1 DR Congo (H) World Cup Qualification

Some mixed form with 2 wins 2 losses and a draw in the last 5 matches for Cameroon. They have struggled to keep a consistent threat going forward having only managed to score in 2 games and those goals came in both of their last wins. They will need to fix this and hope that their key players are able to start firing when going forward, if they don’t, they could be in some trouble getting out of the group.

Gabon last 5 matches: Seychelles 0-4 Gabon (A) World Cup Qualification Gabon 0-0 Ivory Coast (H) World Cup Qualification Gambia 3-4 Gabon (A) World Cup Qualification Gabon 2-0 Burundi (H) World Cup Qualification Nigeria 4-1 Gabon (A) World Cup Qualification

Some very strong form going into AFCON for Gabon with 3 wins 1 draw and only a single loss. This form will give them a massive amount of confidence especially as they have been very strong going forward scoring 11 goals in the last 5 matches and only seeing 1 match end without them scoring and that was when they faced the current holders of the AFCON. The only loss also came against the team that finished as runners up being Nigeria, so they have gotten a draw against the winners in AFCON and did receive a heavy loss to the second-place team, but they still scored in that match. They will be hoping that if they can score against Nigeria and hold the Ivary Coast to a goalless draw, they can do something against Cameroon.

Key Players to Watch: Cameroon vs Gabon

Bryan Mbeumo (Cameroon): The forward has had a good start to the season for Manchester United so far and will be hoping that he can carry his form on for his country to help them go deep into AFCON. The forward has bagged 7 goals so far this season and will be hoping that he can add a few more onto his tally this tournament and bring back this form to the Premier League.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (Gabon): It is up in the air if he starts in this match after picking up a thigh injury at Marseille however, Gabon will be hoping that he can be played. He has been their main man for years now and it looks like this will be his final dance with 10 goal contributions in the league so far, he will be the key factor to see how far Gabon go into the tournament, if they have him, he can win them another game or 2 like he did in the World Cup Qualification when he bagged 4 goals.
