Cameroon vs Gabon Match Preview

Cameroon analyses

Cameroon enter this encounter as hot favorites, ready to snatch a victory that could reveal much concerning the rest of their road in the tournament. Star players such as Samuel Eto’o, as well as the Song brothers, and Carlos Kameni are true signs of the strength of the lions.

The Cameroonians are very well renowned for their tight defense which seems to trouble any kind of team on the African continent. This characteristic was not missing during their run in the 2008 edition of the competition (held in Ghana), and moreover, it looks like the national team is not ready to lose such an expensive quality.

In addition to having a strong defense, the Indomitable Lions can also boast of a powerful front line, led by their top ace Eto’o.

The Inter Milan forward was highly instrumental in his team’s qualification for the Nations Cup, and having held the tournament’s Top Scorer award in 2008, Eto’o will want to score a huge amount of goals in Angola, as he looks to expanding his individual record for the Cameroonian national football team.

Gabon analyses

Gabon, are often categorized among the underdogs in this tournament. Their qualification in the finals was far from being impressive, but having reached such a long way, they certainly have no reason to give up.

They unluckily find theirselves in a very difficult situation now, as the first match-day in Group D sees them playing against top seeds Cameroon.

Based on the analyses which come out from both teams’ squads on paper, the Gabonese are likely to suffer an early disappointment; for this reason, the Black Panthers will be hoping to turn things around through a great display.

Speaking to the press, Hull City player and Gabon captain Daniel Cousin declared that his country could be the tournament’s surprise package, underlining the fact that the public did not know who they really were.

\"Football fans do not seem to realize how good are the players we have, just because none of my team-mates plays with a major European club,” he said.

These words truly show how determined Gabon are to make the “impossible”; and effectively, looking at the shocking 3-0 score line in favor of Malawi against Algeria on January 11, one could conclude that anything could be possible in Lubango too.

Eventually, the most coaches involved in this game can do, is to remain hopeful throughout the 90 minutes of the fight.
