MOROCCO – South Africa’s Bafana Bafana will take on Cameroon tomorrow in what promises to be a keenly contested Africa Cup of Nations encounter in Morocco.
The two sides bring contrasting recent form into the match. Bafana Bafana have been in impressive shape, winning four of their last five fixtures while averaging 1.8 goals per game. Their attacking prowess has been balanced by a solid defensive record, conceding just one goal per match over that period.
Cameroon, meanwhile, have struggled for consistency, managing only one victory in their last five outings alongside two draws and two defeats. The Indomitable Lions have found goals hard to come by, netting just 0.8 times per match while maintaining a tight defensive line that has conceded 0.6 goals per game.
The historical head-to-head record between these African giants reveals an evenly matched rivalry. In four meetings since 2008, South Africa have claimed one victory, with the remaining three encounters ending in stalemates. Bafana Bafana have scored six goals across these fixtures compared to Cameroon’s five, suggesting little separates the sides when they meet.
