Sports Innovation previews the AFCON match between Cameroon and Comoros and offers team stats, betting tips and the latest odds.
Cameroon look to keep their dream of a first Africa Cup of Nations title at home alive when they face Comoros in a last-16 tie on Monday.
The Indomitable Lions have enjoyed a strong start so far. They won Group A unbeaten, collecting seven points and seven goals from three games. But they also conceded in every match, offering Comoros a ray of hope.
The Coelacanths have been one of the surprise packages at AFCON. A 3-2 win over Ghana in their Group C finale ensured them of a knockout spot, as one of the four best third-placed sides. However, multiple COVID-19 cases have rocked their preparations for a historic clash.
Comoros coach Amir Abdou and their three goalkeepers are all set to miss the match, meaning an unnamed outfield player is expected to start in goal instead.
