Namibia vs Cameroon Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds
Lions Indomptables eye clinching a big win over the Brave Warriors.
With the Namibian fans proudly echoing the anthem, “Namibia, land of the brave” the matchday five fixture of the AFCON 2025 qualifiers group stage takes us to the Orlando Stadium in Soweto where Namibia are set to lock horns against table toppers Cameroon.
Namibia’s football team have endured a challenging campaign, having suffered defeat in each of their last five matches, leaving them without a single point. Their struggles place them firmly at the bottom of the Group J standings, trailing behind teams like Zimbabwe, Cameroon, and Kenya.
With four consecutive losses in this campaign, Namibia find itself facing a tough battle to restore pride in its next fixture. As they prepare to take on the formidable Cameroonian squad, the “Table Toppers,” Namibia will be aiming to at least maintain a respectable scoreline or, ideally, secure their first point in the competition.
Cameroon’s national football team are currently dominating Group J in the AFCON qualifiers, leading the table with an unbeaten record built on three wins and one draw. Their recent form has been exceptional, with three victories and two draws in their last five games, showcasing both consistency and resilience.
Against Kenya, they delivered two impressive performances, first claiming a resounding 4-1 victory and then securing a narrow 1-0 win. Entering their upcoming fixture against a struggling Namibian side, Cameroon will be eager to maintain their momentum and potentially extend their lead with a commanding result.
