Congo host Cameroon on 29 September 2026 at 22:00 in Group G of the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying round. Congo lost their opener 0-1 away to Namibia, conceding early in the second half. Cameroon won their first match 3-1 at home against Comoros and arrive in Brazzaville three points clear. The group also includes Namibia and Comoros, making this a critical fixture for both sides. Congo have recently appointed Claude Le Roy as coach, tasking the experienced Frenchman with salvaging their qualifying campaign. Cameroon enter as group favorites and will aim to extend their lead with a second consecutive victory.
Form and Head to Head
Congo's last ten matches show one win, three draws, and six losses at home, averaging 0.53 goals for and 1.35 against. Cameroon's away record over the same span reads five wins, two draws, and three losses, with 1.45 goals scored and 0.84 conceded per game. The disparity in road form is stark: Cameroon have won half their away matches while Congo have lost more than half at home. Cameroon's attacking efficiency on their travels contrasts sharply with Congo's defensive vulnerability in front of their own supporters.
Best Bet
Cameroon to win. The Indomitable Lions have superior away form and already hold a three-point advantage after one round. Congo must chase the game at home but lack the cutting edge shown by Cameroon in their 3-1 opening victory. Back Cameroon at 1.59 on Melbet, 1.6 on 1xBet, or 1.63 on Mostbet.
Odds to Watch
The draw sits at 3.64 on Melbet and 3.62 on 1xBet if Congo's home advantage produces a cautious affair. Congo's win is priced at 5.7 on Melbet and 5.61 on 1xBet, reflecting their weak home record and Cameroon's proven quality on the road.
