THE READ
Match details. Africa Cup of Nations Qualification, Group Stage - 2. Kick-off Tue 29 Sep, 20:00 Lagos time.
Form. Congo have won one, drawn four and lost five of their last ten, 0.7 points a game, with a recent run L L L D L and in this competition L L. Cameroon have won five, drawn two and lost three of their last ten, 1.7 points a game, with a recent run W W L L W and in this competition W.
The numbers. Congo score 0.6 and concede 1.2 a game over their last ten, with one clean sheet and five games without a goal, and they average 2.0 cards a game. Cameroon score 1.4 and concede 0.8 a game in their last five away, with one clean sheet; they average 13.8 shots (3.2 on target), 6.0 corners and 2.2 cards a game, and they have 50% of the ball.
Head to head. In the last four meetings Congo have won one, drawn one and lost two. None of those four went over 2.5 goals and neither side scored, and the latest meeting on 16 Jan 2023 ended Congo 0-1 Cameroon.
The read. Cameroon to win. A tight game. Their goals for and against point to a tight game and make Cameroon the likelier winners; they are the stronger side on form and the table, and both teams' records and the meetings favour Cameroon. Their records put over 2.5 goals at 20% and the last four meetings all went under 2.5.
The bets. Best bet: Draw or Cameroon at 1.17, 83% on the records (Cameroon unbeaten in 4 of 5 away; Congo failed to win 9 of 10). Backup: Cameroon or Under 2.5 Goals at 1.10. It often rescues the bet, but it is no guarantee. Leave: Under 0.5 first-half goals (the signs point different ways); Over 0.5 Goals (no overs on a tight read). Predicted score: Congo 0-1 Cameroon (16% chance).
