Cameroon vs Guinea prediction

Cameroon have not been in particularly impressive form, drawing a warm-up match with Zambia and they were also held by Libya in a World Cup qualifier in November.

Guinea though will be full of confidence after a friendly win over Nigeria, and they look well capable of causing Cameroon problems in what could be a tight affair.

Draw, 1-1.

Guinea have concerns over Serhou Guirassy's fitness, after the striker came off against Nigeria with a thigh issue. Those concerns have been downplayed, but he continues to be monitored.
