The second semi-final of the African World Cup qualifiers is taking place in Morocco, where Cameroon faces the Democratic Republic of Congo. The winner will advance to the finals to meet the victor of the Nigeria vs. Gabon match. On paper, this clash is expected to be competitive, despite the absence of key players like Zambo Anguissa and Choupo-Moting from the Indomitable Lions.
Coach Marc Brys has set up a five-man defense featuring Castelletto, Ngadeu, and Tolo in the center. Baleba is in midfield alongside Avom, supporting an attacking trio of Mbeumo, Magri, and Eyong. On the other side, Sébastien Desabre is almost at full strength except for the injured Yoane Wissa. Bakambu will lead the attack, flanked by Bongonda and Mbuku, as they aim to compensate for Wissa’s absence. Kayembe is assigned to the left-back position.
Team Line-ups:
Cameroon: A. Onana – Tchatchoua, Castelletto, Ngadeu, Tolo, Nagida – Baleba, Avom – Mbeumo, Magri, Eyong
DR Congo: Mpasi – Wan-Bissaka, Mbemba, Tuanzebe, Kayembe – Sadiki, Moutoussamy, Pickel – Bongonda, Bakambu, Mbuku
