- Competition: World Cup Qualification 2026, Africa
- Date: 13th October, 2025
- Kickoff: 17:00 UK / 18:00 CEST
- Venue: Stade Ahmadou Ahidjo
Cameroon take on Angola on Monday at the Stade Ahmadou Ahidjo in what promises to be a key clash in the CAF qualification race for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Cameroon are fighting to maintain pressure on group leaders Cabo Verde, hoping to finish first and secure an automatic ticket to next summer’s tournament. Angola, meanwhile, enter this match looking to end their qualification campaign on a positive note, although they have already lost any mathematical chance of qualifying - either directly or through the playoffs - for the 2026 World Cup.

Cameroon team overview
Cameroon enter this fixture in reasonably good form, albeit with some inconsistency. In their recent matches, they have defeated Mauritius and Eswatini but suffered a crucial 1-0 loss to current Group D leaders Cabo Verde in between those victories. Their home record, however, has been outstanding - four wins out of four at the Stade Ahmadou Ahidjo, with 13 goals scored in the process. A win on Monday alone would not be enough for Cameroon, as they also need Cabo Verde to drop points against Eswatini in the other group fixture. Should that happen, Cameroon would qualify automatically for the 2026 World Cup thanks to a superior goal difference.
On the injury front, Cameroon are in a lucky position: head coach Marc Brys has publicly stated there are no major injury worries before this match against Angola.

Angola team overview
Angola’s recent form has been mixed. In both qualifying and friendly fixtures, they have produced some encouraging performances but also dropped valuable points. They are currently unbeaten in two consecutive CAF qualifiers, having defeated Mauritius 3-1 and drawn 2-2 away to Eswatini. However, they can no longer overtake Cameroon in the battle for second place in the group. Their away record has been peculiar - although unbeaten in their four trips, Angola are yet to record a victory on the road in these CAF qualifiers, as all four away matches have ended in draws.
Angola are expected to be missing Manuel Benson due to injury; he has withdrawn from squad selections in prior matches.

Prediction
Considering recent form and the significance of this fixture in the group standings, Cameroon enter the match as clear favourites and will be more motivated than ever. Their superior attacking output, a healthier squad, and strong home record give them a decisive edge - especially with the added incentive that a slip-up from Cabo Verde against Eswatini could hand them direct qualification. Having already scored 13 goals in four home matches during these CAF qualifiers, Cameroon are expected to continue their dominance in Yaoundé. We predict a comfortable victory for the hosts, likely by at least a two-goal margin on Monday.
Three reasons we expect Cameroon AH -1.5
- Cameroon have won all 4 home matches in the CAF qualifiers.
- Cameroon have scored 13 goals in 4 home matches in the CAF qualifiers - averaging over 3.0 goals per game.
- Angola are yet to win away from home in these CAF qualifiers - they have drawn all 4 matches so far.
