Preview: Senegal vs. Cameroon - prediction, team news, lineups

Sports Mole previews Monday's friendly clash between Senegal and Cameroon, including predictions, team news and possible lineups.

Senegal and Cameroon will face off against each other in an international friendly encounter at Estadio Bollaert-Delelis on Monday evening.

Both teams suffered respective defeats in their most recent outings, and they will be looking to get back to winning ways as soon as possible.


Match preview

Cameroon were on the receiving end of a narrow 1-0 defeat against Russia in Thursday's clash at the Dinamo Lev Yashin Stadium.

Fedor Chalov broke the deadlock five minutes before the half-time whistle, and that was enough to put Rigobert Song's men to the sword in a tight affair.

As a result, the Indomitable Lions have now won just one of five matches dating back to January, although that only victory came in a crucial AFCON qualifying finale against Burundi.

Coming up next is the challenge of an opposing outfit with just one defeat from the last five editions of this fixture across all competitions.

Ahead of the sides' meeting in the group stages of the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations, Cameroon will be looking to lay down an early marker against the reigning continental champions.

Senegal fell to a narrow loss 1-0 against the Fennec Foxes of Algeria when the teams faced off at Stade Me Abdoulaye Wade on September 12.

Aliou Cisse's men went behind to Fares Chaibi's opener midway through the second half which turned out to be the all-important moment.

That was a first defeat in six matches for the Lions of Teranga since they crashed out in the World Cup round of 16 at the hands of England.

In what is set to be their final outing before the World Cup qualifiers take centre-stage, Senegal set out to sign off on the international break on a high.

Team News

Senegal will be without the services of 22-year-old Chelsea striker Nicolas Jackson, who recently underwent surgery on his wrist.

Pape Matar Sarr has been a standout performer for Tottenham Hotspur this term, and he will be looking to carry on his impressive club form onto the international scene.

With Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting currently missing from the Cameroon squad, Frank Magri has an opportunity to stake his claim for a place in the team.

Vincent Aboubakar is closing in on his 100th cap and is well on course to become only the fifth player in his nation's history to reach that milestone.


Senegal possible starting lineup:
Mendy; Koulibaly, Diallo, Jakobs, Fadiga; Gueye, Kouyate, Sarr; Mane, Ndiaye, Dia

Cameroon possible starting lineup:
Onana; Tolo, Castelletto, Moukoudi, Mbaizo; Kunde, Ntcham, Ngamaleu, Mbeumo; Aboubakar, Toko Ekambi

We say: Senegal 2-1 Cameroon

There is little to choose between the sides heading into Monday's clash which could easily swing either way. However, we are backing Senegal to emerge triumphant, albeit by only a narrow margin.
