Cameroon vs Colombia
Colombia can afford to relax in this friendly as it’s not until August before they return to action in the World Cup Qualifiers. However, it is different for Cameroon as they have a packed schedule this month with the Confederations Cup football games just a week away.
Indeed, the Indomitable Lions will want some boost of confidence before they face the giants of other nations, and what better way to get it than by winning against a team ranked fifth in the world?
Betting odds, of course, won’t favour Cameroon as football betting experts expect them to have a hard time breaking the Colombians at Getafe, Spain.
Nonetheless, it will be totally wrong to write them off even before the game begins. They are the African Champions after all, and their recent victory in the AFCON qualification round just shows that they are ready to roll under Belgian boss Hugo Broos.
Broos has led the team to greater heights since taking over in 2016, and his 10-7-2 win-draw-loss record (with the two defeats both coming from a friendly) is proof of how he brilliantly masterminded the rise of the Cameroonians.
Cameroon also have the core of their AFCON-winning group intact, and with Christian Bassogog and Vincent Aboubakar playing and scoring better than ever, they will be dangerous even for Jose Pekerman’s Los Cafeteros.
Sure enough, Colombia will take this opportunity to test their fitness and fortify their defence against a free-scoring team.
They have attacking threats in top-scorer Radamel Falcao and James Rodriguez, so the only concern for them is strengthening their squad to avoid another late defensive collapse like what happened in their friendly draw with Spain.
Further improvements should also be useful as they look to have firm control of second place in the South America qualifiers.
With that said, I expect this match to be a little tight with some heated moments on both ends of the pitch. Though, I think Cameroon will have more motivation to win this one, making them the better betting choice on Asian Handicap +0.75 that pays at 1.82.
