Australia vs Cameroon prediction
Now coached by former Crystal Palace defender Tony Popovic, Australia have been improved of late, albeit the Socceroos finished 2025 with three successive defeats against the United States, Venezuela and Colombia.
Cameroon were beaten to automatic qualification by Cape Verde before then succumbing to a dramatic playoff defeat to the Democratic Republic of Congo.
The Cameroonians did put in a good showing at the CAF Africa Cup of Nations with a quarter-final appearance earlier this year. With home advantage, Australia will be confident of matching their opposition and a low-scoring clash seems likely.
Australia vs Cameroon tip: Under 2.5 goals
