Main Tip: DC Cameroon/Draw
Betting prediction: Cameroon to avoid defeat. Despite a recent 0:1 defeat to DR Congo that dents confidence, Cameroon still presents as the marginal favourites on paper given their head-to-head advantage in the last five meetings (three wins, one draw, one loss). Under the direction of coach David Pagou, they are likely to approach this match with a structured defensive plan and an emphasis on quick transitions. The collective experience and historical dominance in the H2H series give Cameroon the edge in a match expected to be cagey. The best available odds on the 1X2 market are at 1.44 at 1win for a Cameroon victory.
Betting Tip 2: Both teams score? No
Betting tip: Both teams do not score (Both teams score? No). Given the recent defensive issues for both sides, but the propensity for tightly contested AFCON knockout-style fixtures and group matches to be low-scoring, a market that favours one team keeping a clean sheet is attractive. Cameroon’s tactical setup under Pagou often prioritises organisation, and Gabon’s most recent AFCON outing went to extra time and penalties after a 1:1 result in regulation, suggesting difficulty in consistently breaking down disciplined defences. For punters seeking a conservative position alongside the main 1X2 selection, the “No” in both teams to score offers a solid alternative. Best odds for this market in the supplied information are Paripesa at 1.73 for “No.”

Prediction 3: Correct score: 0:0 Draw
Prediction: 0:0 draw (Correct Score). As an alternate, higher-odds speculative outcome, we propose a 0:0 stalemate. This selection aligns with the most recent direct meeting and the conservative nature of early group-match tactics, where avoiding defeat can be as important as pursuing victory. The paradox is intentional: while we view Cameroon as the slight favourites to win, the risk-averse nature of Group F fixtures and both sides’ recent pauses in scoring create a realistic scenario for a goalless draw. The supplied information lists 0:0 as a recommended correct-score selection.
Statistics for Cameroon vs Gabon
Cameroon team news!
Cameroon enters this fixture under the stewardship of coach David Pagou. Their recent record across all competitions shows a balanced but unspectacular run: in the last five matches, they registered 2 wins, 1 draw, and 2 defeats. Their last competitive outing ended in a 0:1 loss to DR Congo, while their most recent previous Africa Cup of Nations match in the prior season was a 0:2 defeat to Nigeria. These results indicate a team capable of positive results but equally prone to inconsistency. Pagou will need to stabilise the defensive unit while extracting greater potency from the attacking transitions to secure a favorable result at Stade Adrar.
Gabon team news!
Gabon arrive with slightly better momentum in recent matches overall, recording 3 wins, 1 draw and 1 defeat in their last five fixtures across all competitions. Their last AFCON season match ended in a penalty shootout defeat to Burkina Faso after a 1:1 draw, and their most recent match prior to this meeting saw them lose 1:4 after extra time to Nigeria (1:1 after regular time). The manager’s identity is not specified in the supplied information and is therefore represented here as “-”. Gabon’s strengths lie in decisive attacking spells, but their susceptibility to conceding on transitions and in extra-time situations suggests defensive attention will be crucial.
H2H statistics
When considering the head-to-head dynamic, the last five meetings between these sides show a slight advantage for Cameroon: three wins for Cameroon, one draw, and one win for Gabon. The most recent direct meeting finished in a 0:0 draw, which underscores the potential for a tight, low-scoring contest on neutral ground. Historical dominance by Cameroon in the H2H sample does temper Gabon’s apparent current-form advantage.
Last results Cameroon
Cameroon’s recent five-match sample shows 2 wins, 1 draw, and 2 defeats. The current form is therefore mixed — capable of picking up victories but also vulnerable to setbacks. That inconsistency will be a central consideration for anyone assessing their chances in the upcoming fixture.
Last results Gabon
Gabon’s last five matches present a more positive run: 3 wins, 1 draw, and 1 defeat. Their recent form suggests upward momentum, but the specifics of how those results were achieved — including narrow margins and matches that required extra time — warn of fragility in certain game phases.

Conclusion
In conclusion, Cameroon should be considered the marginal favourites for this Africa Cup of Nations Group F clash. Their superior head-to-head record and tactical cohesion under coach David Pagou grant them a slight advantage. However, Gabon’s recent run of positive results and its ability to perform in high-pressure moments mean this fixture cannot be taken for granted. Our principal recommendation is a Cameroon victory (Tip 1), supported by the notion that they will seek control and a measured approach in the group stage. Complementary selections reflect two viable outcomes: a low-scoring contest in which both teams might not score (“No” on both teams to score), a speculative higher-scoring option (Over 2.5 goals), and the conservative correct-score alternative of 0:0. Best odds available in the supplied data include 1xBet for a Cameroon win at 2.22 and Paripesa for “Both teams do not score” at 1.73; the “Both teams score? Yes” market shows 1xBet at 2.01, and 1X2 full-market odds are listed with 1xBet offering 3.16 for a draw and 3.80 for a Gabon victory.
