CAN 2015 – CAMEROON: VICTORY OVER DR CONGO TO SEAL TOP SPOT IN GROUP D
Cameroon hosts DR Congo this Saturday at the Ahmadou Ahidjo Omnisports Stadium in Yaoundé in a crucial Group D clash of the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers. A draw would be enough for the Indomitable Lions to punch their ticket to Equatorial Guinea, but head coach Volker Finke and his squad have their eyes set on all three points to secure top spot in the group.
Cameroon’s Line-Up for the Clash
Coach Finke has opted for a strong starting XI with Léonard Kweuke leading the line and Edgar Salli getting the nod on the right flank over Benjamin Moukandjo. Here’s the full starting eleven:
🇨🇲 Cameroon XI:
Ondoua – Oyongo, Nkoulou, Mbia, Bedimo
Eyong, Mandjeck
Salli, Choupo-Moting, Njie
Kweuke
This setup reflects a balance of experience and pace, with captain Stéphane Mbia anchoring the defense, and Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting expected to provide creativity behind the striker.
Qualification Within Reach
With 10 points after four matches, Cameroon leads the group ahead of Senegal (7 pts), Egypt (6 pts), and DR Congo (4 pts). A win would not only ensure qualification but also lock down the top position heading into the final group game.
Key Talking Points:
Salli over Moukandjo: A tactical decision for more dynamism on the flank.
Choupo-Moting and Njie: Expected to stretch the Congolese defense.
Mbia-Nkoulou partnership: Rock-solid at the back, crucial against a physically strong DR Congo side.
With Yaoundé set to be buzzing and Cameroon just one step away from confirming their return to the AFCON stage, all eyes will be on the Lions to roar their way into the finals with authority.
