Defending champions Cameroon will face a daunting challenge in the second game when they take on Ghana for their second Group F game in the Africa Nations Cup on Saturday.
Cameroon have had a positive start to their campaign as they got the better of Guinea-Bissau with goals from Yaya Banana and super-sub Stephane Bahoken soon after the hour mark. The fact that Ghana are a much tougher opponent than Guinea-Bissau will be playing in the back Clarence Seedorf and his men. He will be hoping Cameroon walk out clean at the end of this one and get their ticket to the next round confirmed.
Ghana would be disappointed after dropping points against Benin in an intense match that went ugly for them at the end. They’ll hoping to resurrect their campaign against the defending champions, but will be very well aware that it won’t be an easy task by any means. Their defence will need to get their lines right if they’re too survive against Cameroon’s rampant attack force.
When and Where?
The match will be played in the Ismailia Stadium in Egypt’s city of Ismailia with a scheduled kick-off at 10:30 PM IST on Saturday, 29th June 2019.

Cameroon
He has shown glimpses of his capability against Guinea-Bissau, though he did not get his name on the score sheet. He is one of the most high profile players in the team and would love to live up to his billing in this high rated encounter.
He was sensational for Cameroon in their first game as he ensured there were no slip ups in the defence for them. He was rock solid and was clinical in counter attacks as well. He will the man who will trouble Ghana the most when they try to hit at Cameroon.
Ghana
Leading Ghana’s attack up front, Ghana’s score will more or less depend on how many chances he converts. He will be a part of all the attacking moves Ghana are likely to plan against Cameroon.
Christian Atsu did not live up to his billing in the first game but was still pivotal in the game for Ghana. He would love to get his game match his standards in the all important game against the defending champions next up.
Odds are more or less favouring a draw, which is the most expected result of course. Cameroon gave a rock solid defensive performance, while Ghana were abysmal with their defence to say the least. Ghana then will rely on their attacking forces to thwart the Cameroonian defence. Both teams are likely to score with the final score, as we expect, would read Cameroon 2-2 Ghana.
The upcoming two teams are based on the aforementioned Fantasy Football Picks and X-Factor Star.
