A match between two teams eliminated in the World Cup qualifying play-offs sees Cameroon, who dismissed their coach after being knocked out, now under the new management of Pagano. Their squad surprisingly excludes goalkeeper Onana, Aboubakar, Choupo-Moting, and Ngadeu of Beijing Guoan. Although Anguissa of Napoli is unavailable due to injury, they still boast numerous stars, including Mbeumo of Manchester United. Gabon will continue to rely on Aubameyang, Lemina, and MLS forward Bouanga. This could be the last opportunity for these veterans, as their core players are over 30 years old. In the previous Africa Cup of Nations, they lost in the quarter-finals to Burkina Faso. Cameroon is currently dealing with internal strife. Legendary player Eto'o, after being re-elected as the football association president, appointed Pagano, a coach who has never worked in Africa. Moreover, he seemingly excluded top striker Aboubakar from the squad to protect his own goalscoring record. The atmosphere within the team is undoubtedly tense, and the performance on the field is predictable. Gabon has consistently been underestimated; aside from Aubameyang, the other veterans have experience in major European leagues. Despite their age, they remain effective in African competitions. The odds favour Cameroon with a +0.25 handicap, which sufficiently leans towards Gabon, given the poor image of Cameroon. Gabon is expected to remain unbeaten tonight. Recommendation: Gabon +0.25
