Cameroon kick-off their 2023 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers when they visit the Benjamin Mkapa National Stadium to face Burundi on Wednesday.
The hosts, meanwhile, will be looking to get their campaign up and running after playing out a 1-1 draw with Namibia in their group opener.
Burundi were denied a dream start to their AFCON qualifiers as they played out a 1-1 draw with Namibia.
Prior to that, they claimed a 2-1 victory over Liberia when the sides squared off in a friendly fixture back in March.
Burundi have now failed to win any of their last three competitive games, losing one and picking up two draws since a 3-1 victory over Mauritania in November 2020.
Cameroon, on the other hand, were last in action back in March when they saw off Algeria on penalties to book their place in the upcoming World Cup.
The Indomitable Lions head into Wednesday’s game on a run of three consecutive wins from their last three away games.
However, Cameroon have failed to win any of their last two games in the AFCON qualifiers and will be looking to end this dry spell.
Burundi vs Cameroon Head-To-Head
This will be the second-ever meeting between the sides, with their first encounter coming way back in 1976 when Cameroon claimed a 1-0 victory in the Central African Games.
