Ivory Coast vs Cameroon Prediction

Ivory Coast host Cameroon at the Alassane Ouattara Olympic Stadium on 3 October 2026 at 22:00 in a friendly that pits two of West Africa's strongest sides against each other. The Elephants arrive on the back of consecutive 2-0 wins over Ghana and Somalia in Africa Cup of Nations qualifying, while Cameroon beat Comoros 3-0 before drawing 1-1 with Congo. Ivory Coast's home record stands out: they have kept clean sheets in 75% of their last four matches at this venue and concede just 0.50 goals per game on their own turf. Cameroon have lost only three of their last ten matches overall and average 0.88 goals conceded per game, but their away form is less convincing, with five wins, two draws and three losses in that span.

Form and H2H

The sides have met five times since 2015. Ivory Coast won 1-0 in January 2015 and 2-1 in September 2021, while Cameroon took a 1-0 victory in November 2021. Their most recent encounter, at the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations, ended 1-1. Ivory Coast's home record in the last ten matches reads eight wins, zero draws and two losses with an average of 1.80 goals for and 0.50 against. Cameroon's away form over the same period shows five wins, two draws and three losses, averaging 1.32 goals for and 0.88 against. The Elephants' defensive solidity at home combined with Cameroon's modest away scoring record suggests a low-scoring contest.

Best Bet

Ivory Coast to win is the pick. The hosts have dominated this fixture historically, control their home environment with exceptional defensive discipline, and face an away side that has struggled to score consistently on the road. The prediction is Ivory Coast 1-0 Cameroon.

Odds to Watch

Without current partner prices available, bettors should monitor the Home win market closely as Ivory Coast's home record and head-to-head advantage make them strong favourites. Under 2.5 goals aligns with the teams' recent defensive patterns and H2H history, where 67% of matches have stayed below that line. Both Teams to Score No reflects Cameroon's away struggles and Ivory Coast's clean sheet record at the stadium.
