Head-to-head records of Ghana against Camaroon at a glance. Though Ghanaian Team seems to be the team to beat on the other hand the Camaroonians side pose a huge threat.
Games won:3
Games drawn:3
Games lost:2
The last time Cameroon and Ghana met at the tournament was back in 2008 and it was at this same level of the competition. Cameroon spoiled the Ghana-party, defeating the host-nation by a slim 1-0 victory but just to go on to “hand” the trophy to Egypt at the final. All the three actors of the 2008 experience are present in this new “Season” of the CAF “series”.
A contrast of fortunes
The Cameroon team at this edition of the Africa Cup of Nations is somewhat lacking in star potential – no big-names like the team was renowned to have in the past. Most of players in the squad are reaching prominence participating in this tournament. And apart from the goalkeeper, Fabrice Ondoa, none of the players has actually stood out at his post – as is revealed in the changes in the composition of the line-up in their past four games. Nevertheless, the Indomitable Lions have been phenomenal in their new-found solid collective and defensive performance. They have stayed focused on keeping it tight at the back and remaining as controlled as possible so as not to pick up common fouls around their vital area. And with this strategy, they are keeping the momentum unbroken as they take one game at a time towards the final.
Ghana have a bit more up their sleeves in terms of quality, although captain and star-striker, Asamoah Gyan, could miss out again after he picked up an injury playing against Egypt. But they have the driving force in the “engine” of Christian Atsu and the striking force in the geniuses of the Ayew brothers.
Mainwhile Former Ebusua Dwarfs coach, J.E.A Sarpong believes Ghana should be able to navigate Group F with ease after last night AFCON 2019 draw.
Ghana have been drawn with champions Cameroon, minnows Guinea Bissau and Benin.
Experience gaffer, J.E.A Sarpong says the group is the easiest for the country and the Black Stars have no reason to fail.
"Ghana have been handed an easy draw and there is no reason for us to fail," he told Otec FM in Kumasi. "Ghanaians always want an easy route so I don't see why anyone will complain."
"However, we should not be complacent of Guinea Bissau and Benin. They can surprise us," he concluded.
