Namibia vs Cameroon Preview, prediction, injury news & lineups | AFCON 2027 qualifiers
The previous outing between these nations ended in favour of the Indomitable Lions!
Namibia national football team are all set for a face-off against the Cameroon national football team, which will be the fourth group stage fixture of the AFCON 2027 qualifiers. The Botswana National Stadium will witness this entertaining outing.
Led by Collin Benjamin, Namibia are already coming off a defeat at the hands of Cameroon in their last Africa Cup of Nations qualifying game. It was a 0-2 loss in what was an underwhelming performance by Benjamin’s men. They failed to control the tempo and lacked finishing touch in the final third.
The Brave Warriors are in third place on the points table now and need a desperate win at the moment. They are now on a three-match losing streak. Being at home for the next one is not going to be a massive advantage for them.
The Cameroon national football team continue to extend their positive run of form. They took down Namibia in what was an easy 2-0 victory for them. The Indomitable Lions had control of the game from the very beginning and did not allow many chances to their opponents.
They’re looking to come up with a similar sort of approach. Despite being the visiting team, the David Pagou-led side will be fully confident for their upcoming fixture.

Peter Shalulile (Namibia)

The 33-year-old will be once again deployed as one of the strikers for the hosts.
Arthur Avom (Cameroon)
Despite failing to engrave his name on the score sheet, the 21-year-old was a standout performer for the Cameroon national football team in their 2-0 win against Namibia. He created the most chances (3). Arthur Avom had the most touches (100).
He will continue to be one of the main men in the midfield for the visitors.
