Cameroon – Gabon. Forecast and announcement for the 2025 African Cup of Nations match

On December 24, the Adrar Stadium will host a match of the 1st round of the group stage of the African Nations Cup, in which the national teams of Cameroon and Gabon will play. The match will start at 22:00 Kyiv time.

Cameroon

The team wrote the first glorious chapters of the history of pan-African football at the World Cups. But this time she will miss the upcoming World Cup. And everything is completely to the point: at first, being the undisputed favorite of their selection group, the football players managed to score only nineteen points, four less than Cape Verde – they lost the dispute for first place early. And then in the playoffs, they did nothing against DR Congo, losing 0:1 in the very first round of matches.

Now there is a series of scandals all at once. On the one hand, Brees, who was fired by Eto’o after the failed qualification, has not come to terms with it and considers himself still the coach, and even published his application. On the other hand, Pagu-turned-mentor opted to do without a number of veterans in his roster, from Onan to Abubakar. Overall, it is not surprising that the Cameroonians are not seen as favorites for the tournament.

Gabon

The national team could get to the 2026 World Cup, which would be its debut. She showed excellent results – won eight matches out of ten and scored 25 points in that cycle. But in the same group was Ivory Coast, which took one point more, and with it – the first place.

The last opportunity was the November playoffs. There, the team played at the end of the match against Nigeria. But perhaps she spent all her strength on it, because in the extra time she missed three more times. Of course, for the coaching staff of Thierry Muyum (who himself played a lot in the national form) it was important not to let his wards get disappointed in themselves and tune in to the CAN – after all, they have never made it past the quarter-finals, and the current bracket is perhaps the strongest in history.

Statistics of personal meetings

In the last five face-to-face matches, the sides have equal victories, two each.

Forecast

Bookmakers are still loyal to Cameroonians. But this is also an underestimation of nominal guests – we bet that Gabon will not lose (coefficient – 1.7).
