Having picked up maximum points from their first two qualifying games, Cameroon will be hoping to make it three wins out of three as they take on South Africa this Saturday. Meanwhile, the visitors are bottom of their quartet and will be desperate to turn their fortunes around if they want to have any shot at featuring in next year's AFCON tournament in Gabon.
Cameroon
Cameroon, who will be hosting the first leg of their two-part clash with South Africa, will be hoping for a better performance in this fixture. Despite the fact that all-time top goalscorer Samuel Eto'o is no longer with the team, Les Lions Indomptables boast some promising options within the squad, including Porto striker Vincent Aboubakar. The 24-year-old has been in solid form for his club, and so far has been the go-to man for the team; his two goals were what made the difference in their slim 1-0 wins over Mauritania and Gambia last year.
Although Cameroon have four AFCON titles to their name, they have not been impressive in this competition as of late. Since earning a runners-up spot in the 2008 edition, followed by a run to the quarter-finals in 2010, Les Lions Indomptables have been underwhelming, to say the least. After missing out entirely on the 2012 and 2013 tournaments, they qualified for last year's event, only to crash out in the group stages. As such, they not only, naturally, will be looking to qualify for the upcoming continental competition, but also to re-establish themselves among Africa's elite sides by progressing as far as possible.
South Africa
Meanwhile, if Cameroon have had a solid, but unspectacular qualifying campaign thus far, South Africa have disappointed, to say the least. The Bafana Bafana have yet to win a match, but there are still quite a bit of matches to go between now and the conclusion of qualifiers. However, if they want to have a shot at participating again in the AFCON tournament, they naturally will have to arrest their poor form, beginning with their upcoming match against Cameroon this Saturday - something that will not be easy given that they are missing quite a few key players for this game.
