Cameroon vs Nigeria friendly preview

Last time out Cameroon vs Nigeria

Nigeria’s national soccer team welcomes Cameroon’s Indomitable Lions for a friendly match on 4th June 2021. Below is a prepared detailed analysis and preview for this fixture.

Nigeria’s Super Eagles has some of the best soccer talents in the likes of Napoli’s attacker, Victor Osimhen, Villareal’s Samuel Chukwueze, Kelechi Iheanacho and Ahmed Musa and so is Cameroon’s much-acclaimed squad. However, we think Nigeria has what it takes to win this game going by recent fixtures. A trip to Nigeria will unlikely yield good fruits for the Indomitable Lions who have had a poor run of form in recent games of only one victory, four losses and one draw this year. The hosts have won all their two games this year with a clean sheet. Moreover, Cameroon lost all in the last three trips to Nigeria. Cameroon’s has only scored two goals in the five games this year, which leaves tactician Toni Conceicao in desperate need of attackers.

The Indomitable Lions travels to Nigeria with a squad that lacks depth and pulling a win on the road looks almost unlikely. On the other hand, the Super Eagles coach has a squad packed with world-class talents and he should fancy getting lots of goals in this game. A struggling defence puts the Indomitable Lions in a precarious situation, especially after failing to score in three of their last five games, two of which were 4-0 loss at home to Morocco and away loss of 2-0 to Guinea.

Nigeria is the favourites coming into this game. However, it is noteworthy that Cameroon is equally a strong team that boasts of five trophies in Africa’s Nations Cup, two more than Nigeria’s three crowns. Will the Indomitable Lions wake up from slumber? Toni Conceicao has limited options in the attacking position in Vincent Aboubakar of Besiktas, Clinton Mua Njie of Dinamo Moscow and Ngnowa Yre available. Toni Conceicao should bank on plentiful options in the midfield to protect his leaking defence on match day.

Though is just a friendly, both teams would be looking forward to stand a point of dominance on the other as fans are hoping for an interesting encounter as it looks on paper. The match is set to kickoff at 10:30 GMT+3.
