Cape Verde vs Cameroon Prediction and Betting Tips | September 9th 2025

Cape Verde will host Cameroon at the Estádio Nacional de Cabo Verde on Tuesday for the eighth round in Group I of the CAF 2026 FIFA World Cup qualification campaign. Both sides will be desperate to get a result in what could be the group decider.

Cape Verde earned a deserved 2-0 victory away to Mauritius last Thursday to maintain their place at the top of the group going into the final three qualifying games. The hosts, who have now gone six games without a loss, have been one of the underdogs of the CAF World Cup qualifiers and will fancy their chances of booking a spot in next year's tournament should they get all three points this midweek.

Cameroon’s last game ended in a comfortable 3-0 win over Eswatini to extend the Indomitable Lions' qualifying record to four wins and three draws from seven games. The visitors, who have lost only one of their last 16 games going back to last year's AFCON, sit in second place, one point behind Tuesday's hosts despite being touted as easy favorites to win the group and will be very keen to get a result against the group leaders.

Cape Verde vs Cameroon Prediction

The sides are very closely matched going into this midweek clash and the Blue Sharks will rely on their home advantage to get a win. The hosts will, however, need to improve on their offensive record to get all three points this week.

The Indomitable Lions are the stronger side ahead of the midweek clash and should come away with a point on the road.
