Namibia v Cameroon: Lions Indomptables seek another win in crucial AFCON 2027 qualifier

Cameroon will look to strengthen their position at the top of Group G when they face Namibia in the fourth round of qualifying for the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations on Monday.

The match will be played at the Botswana National Stadium in Gaborone, on neutral ground, just four days after Cameroon defeated Namibia 2-0 in the first meeting between the sides.

Kick-off is at 13:00 GMT on Monday, 16 November 2026. The game will be broadcast by beIN Sports, Canal+ Afrique, SuperSport and SABC Sport.

Cameroon currently lead Group G with seven points and have lost only once in their past five matches, recording four wins and one draw. Their recent results include victories over Comoros (3-1) and Namibia (2-0) in the qualifiers, as well as friendly wins against Cote d’Ivoire (0-1) and China (0-2).

Namibia, by contrast, are struggling for form. The Brave Warriors have suffered three successive defeats in all competitions and collected only three points from their opening three matches in Group G. Their sole victory came in their first game, a 1-0 success against Congo.

Cameroon hold the historical advantage

The rivalry between the two teams is relatively recent, but the record favours Cameroon. Across six meetings in all competitions, the Lions Indomptables have won three times, compared with two draws and one victory for the Brave Warriors.

Their most recent encounter was Cameroon’s 2-0 win on 12 November 2026. Before that, the teams drew 0-0 in Namibia on 13 November 2024, while Cameroon won 1-0 at home on 7 September 2024.

Namibia’s only victory in the recent sequence came on 28 March 2023, when they won 2-1. The earlier meeting in that qualification campaign, on 24 March 2023, ended in a 1-1 draw.

Despite a series of absences forcing Cameroon’s coaching staff to revise their plans, the team’s current momentum and defensive organisation give them the advantage before kick-off. Namibia have lacked confidence in attack and will not have a genuine home advantage in Gaborone.

The Africafoot prediction is a 2-1 victory for Cameroon, with odds of 1.76 quoted for the match.

The listed 1xbet prices put Namibia’s win at 11.00, a draw at 4.20 and a Cameroon victory at 1.30. Those figures also underline the expectation that the Lions Indomptables will take at least a point from the fourth-round fixture.
