Recent momentum

Ivory Coast have won their last three matches, beating GHA 2-0 and SOM 2-0 in September after a 2-0 victory over CUW in June. Before that run they lost 1-2 to NOR and 1-2 to GER. Cameroon's recent form is patchier: they won 3-1 against COM and beat CHN 2-0, but drew 1-1 with CGO in their most recent outing and lost 0-1 to AUS and 0-2 to MAR earlier in the year.

The market-implied probability gives Ivory Coast a 52.3 per cent chance of victory, with the draw at 28.1 per cent and Cameroon at 19.6 per cent. That reflects the hosts' current run and home advantage, though Cameroon will arrive as reigning WAFCON champions after Cameroon's first WAFCON crown, finally.

Head-to-head record

The last five meetings between the sides have produced eleven goals, with Ivory Coast winning two, Cameroon winning one and two ending level. The most recent encounter finished 1-1, as did the one before that in 2023. Ivory Coast's last victory in this fixture came in 2021, a 2-1 win, while their biggest margin across these five matches was a 3-0 result in 2016.
