What is the form of Benin compared to Cameroon?
Benin's form hasn't been great but the west African side are still unbeaten in their last five games. However, they are yet to win a single game in this competition, settling for a point in each of their first two games.
Cameroon, on the other hand, have performed slightly better. They drew their last game in this competition with Ghana but top the group with four points thanks to their opening game victory. The Indomitable Lions last lost a game in November 2018 against Brazil and have since embarked on a six-game winless run.
Benin vs Cameroon head-to-head record
These two nations have faced off five times before and unsurprisingly, almighty Cameroon boast a perfect record in this fixture, winning all five of their previous encounters.
Team news
Both sides are free of any major injury concerns and will have their full squads at their disposal. Benin will likely name an unchanged lineup after dominating the clash with Guinea-Bissau which unfortunately ended in a goalless draw. As for the reigning African champions, they should welcome back Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting to the starting eleven after benching their captain in the draw with Ghana.
Preview
On paper, this should be an easy win for Cameroon. They are the defending champions and they have always beaten Benin in the past. However, the stakes are high in this game as a bad result could end in embarrassment for the title holders.
The Indomitable Lions top their group with four points but their lead over Ghana and Benin is only two points. This means should they suffer defeat in Tuesday's game and the Black Stars beat Guinea-Bissau, which they are expected to do, Cameroon's title defense would come to an end in the group stage.
The fact that Benin can still secure qualification might just be enough motivation to earn their first-ever win over the central African giants. However, Michel Dussuyer's men must be clinical if they wish to pull off an upset after taking 16 shots without converting a single attempt in their goalless draw with Guinea-Bissau.
