On Saturday afternoon, the top two teams in Group D will face off at Ahmadou Ahidjo Stadium when Africa’s World Cup qualifiers resume.

Cameroon and Cape Verde are locked on four points atop the standings, having each registered one win and one draw so far.

Can the Indomitable Lions maintain their unbeaten record in front of their fans? Or will the Blue Sharks spoil the party? Keep reading to discover what Forebet’s AI algorithm predicts.

Back in November, Cameroon kicked off their qualifying campaign with a 3-0 victory over Mauritius before drawing 1-1 with Libya.

Since then, the Indomitable Lions have managed to pick up a solitary victory in five matches across all competitions, falling in the last 16 at the Africa Cup of Nations.

When you look at the bigger picture, Cameroon have won just two of their last nine games across all competitions, recording three draws and four defeats.

That said, the Indomitable Lions have avoided defeat in each of their previous eight home matches, so they will be hopeful of picking up another positive result on Saturday.

Cape Verde played out a goalless draw with Angola in their opening qualifier before claiming a 2-0 victory over Eswatini in their second game.

As a result, the Blue Sharks have lost only one of their last 10 matches in normal time, suffering a penalty shootout defeat to South Africa at AFCON.

Not only have Cape Verde kept a clean sheet in each of their last four games, but they have also kept a clean sheet in seven of their previous 10 outings.

Following 1-0 victories over Guyana and Equatorial Guinea back in March, the Blue Sharks look set to produce another solid defensive display.

Head-to-head: Cape Verde have enjoyed plenty of success against Cameroon in recent years, avoiding defeat in each of their last three meetings.

Since 2012, the Indomitable Lions have managed to win just one of their five matches against the Blue Sharks, recording two draws and two losses.

Team news: Cameroon can call upon Manchester United’s Andre Onana, Bayern Munich’s Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting and Brentford’s Bryan Mbeumo.

On the flip side, Cape Verde’s star men include ex-Man Utd forward Bebe, Fatih Karagumruk’s Ryan Mendes and Gaziantep’s Jamiro Monteiro.

There is no denying that Cameroon possess multiple attacking threats, but Cape Verde boast an excellent defensive record in recent times.

Accordingly, Forebet predicts that Cape Verde will hold Cameroon to a low-scoring draw, with both teams netting under 1.5 goals.
