WAFCON: Cameroon vs Mali – Prediction & Betting Tips

Match Preview 

Unlike many teams competing in WAFCON this year, Cameroon and Mali are both familiar with the competition. This year will mark Cameroon’s 13^th appearance and Mali’s 9^th in the tournament. So, it’s safe to say both teams are seasoned with the pressure that comes with competing at such a high level. 

Cameroon’s recent match history is a mixed bag. They come with two wins in their last 10 matches played and an additional 7 losses and a draw. In those games they have rarely scored more than a single goal, but they have managed to secure positions in the WAFCON final match three times. The Indomitable Lionesses will be looking for the crown after missing out in previous years. Despite never clinching the win, the fact that they’ve been so close three times makes them a surefire challenger this year. 

On the other side of the field, Mali’s Female Eagles arrive with a similar match history, winning two of their last ten games, losing five, and having three draws. The difference is that Mali’s highest finish in WAFCON was fourth place in 2018, but they have never managed to make it to the final. That will be their top priority this time around.  

These teams have faced off before, and if the results are anything to go by, Cameroon will come into the competition with a lot of confidence and the skill to make Mali stumble. With their slightly superior form and experience leading up to women’s AFCON this year, Cameroon might just take the win. 

Head-to-Head 

Mali and Cameroon are no strangers. They have challenged each other five times in previous editions of WAFCON, with Cameroon usually coming out on top. Cameroon has won three times, with two draws and zero wins for Mali. On paper, Cameroon seems dominant, but Mali has strong talent on the field, and both teams have shown capability to score.

Cameroon to Win 

It’s compelling to root for the underdogs, but with their unbeaten history against Mali and their well-thought-out team composition, Cameroon is difficult to bet against. They will be coming in with the knowledge that they’ve made it to the finals before, and they’ll be motivated to get the title this time around. 

Prediction 

Cameroon come into today’s match with the confidence and knowledge of their winning history against Mali plus an extremely strong team setup. Players like Naomie Eto and Aboudi Onguene offer a genuine threat against the opposition. Mali’s biggest hope rests with PSG forward Agueissa Diarra, who’s their standout offensive weapon, capable of utter brilliance on her day. Even with all this talent on the field from both sides, expect Cameroon to edge it and come out on top. Be sure to place your bets at Bet.co.za.
