Prediction Cameroon vs Eswatini 2026 – Betting Tips for the CAF World Cup Qualifiers on 04/09/2025

Match context and what’s at stake

A charged atmosphere is expected at Stade Omnisport Ahmadou Ahidjo in Yaoundé on 04/09/2025 as Cameroon welcome Eswatini in Group Stage action of the 2026 CAF World Cup Qualifiers. With almost 42,500 seats and home advantage firmly on Cameroon’s side, this clash carries the weight of momentum more than points at this early stage — and form suggests the hosts will be the ones to carry it. Cameroon come into the fixture unbeaten in the recent sample, showing a string of wins and draws that underline a consistent, controlled approach. Eswatini, by contrast, arrive with a run that cannot be described as confident: a sequence rich in draws and losses and without a victory in the last ten results recorded.

Form guide and trends that matter

Cameroon’s recent ledger reads like a side building certainty: six wins and four draws in the last ten, with no defeats. The team’s home numbers underline an attacking edge — ten goals scored at home against just two conceded — a ratio that bolsters expectations of a proactive performance in Yaoundé. Their previous friendly saw V. Aboubakar earn the best player rating, a reminder that the hosts have individuals who can make decisive contributions. Eswatini’s picture is bleaker. Five draws and five losses in their last ten reflect an inability to close out games and turn parity into victories. Their attacking record is modest and their wins count sits at zero in the recent sample provided, a statistic that paints them as underdogs who will likely struggle to impose themselves away from home.

Head-to-head and tactical implications

The most recent meeting between the two, a 0-0 draw in March 2025, shows Eswatini can be hard to break down on their day. However, that stalemate was not accompanied by a winning habit for Eswatini thereafter. Given Cameroon’s superior attacking output at home and the hosts’ higher averages in shots and dangerous attacks, it’s reasonable to expect them to press for goals in front of their fans. Eswatini’s tendency toward draws suggests they prefer to regroup defensively, but away from home against a team scoring freely at home, that strategy may be strained.

Betting suggestion: 1X2 – Back Cameroon to win. The hosts’ unbeaten recent form, superior home scoring record and the contrast with Eswatini’s winless run make a home victory the most probable outcome. Consider a cautious stake given the occasional stubborn draw in previous meetings, but the data supports a confident lean toward a Cameroon win.
