Gambia will face Cameroon   at the Stade de la Paix on Tuesday in the final round of the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations   group stages.

The Scorpions have endured a poor start to their Nations Cup campaign, kicking things off with a 3-0 defeat to one of the tournament favorites Senegal . They were then beaten 1-0 by Guinea last time out and could have no real complaints about the result after failing to register a single shot on target throughout the match.

Gambia sit rock-bottom in their group with zero points and must win match on Tuesday to retain any hopes of advancement.

Cameroon, meanwhile, played out a 1-1 draw against 10-man Guinea in their group opener last week, finding themselves a goal down after just 10 minutes before Frank Magri headed home the leveler early in the second half. They were then beaten 3-1 by a clinical Senegal outfit last time out, with Jean-Charles Castelletto’s late goal proving to be just a consolation strike.

Rigobert Song’s men sit a place and a point above their midweek opponents in the group standings and will be desperate for a win on Tuesday.

Gambia vs Cameroon Prediction

Gambia are on a four-game losing streak and have won just two of their last 10 games across all competitions. They are without a win in this fixture and will be desperate to end that streak on Tuesday.

Cameroon’s latest result ended a four-game unbeaten streak and they will be looking to put out a response this week. The sheer gulf in class and quality between the two teams should see the Indomitable Lions win this one.

Prediction: Gambia 0-1 Cameroon
