Mauritius vs Cameroon: Predictions , Preview, Lineups, H2h for October 8, 2025

A group stage match in the African qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup is scheduled for Wednesday at the stadium in Saint Pierre, where Mauritius will take on Cameroon. Here’s a look at this matchup and what to expect.

Match Preview

Mauritius is having a challenging qualifying campaign, currently sitting near the bottom of Group D with just five points from eight matches. Their sole win came in June 2024, when they defeated Eswatini 2-1.

Since then, coach Guillaume Mullick’s team has struggled, showing inconsistent performance with 15 goals conceded and only seven scored. At home, Mauritius will likely play cautiously, but it’s hard to see them challenging a team as strong as Cameroon.

Cameroon approaches this match knowing that failing to secure points could be detrimental. After losing to Cape Verde 0-1, Marc Brys’ squad is eager to regain control in their quest for top position, but they still have a solid chance to qualify as one of the best second-placed teams.

The “Indomitable Lions” lead the group in scoring with 15 goals and have a strong lineup featuring players like Aboubakar, Choupo-Moting, Mbeumo, and Zambo Anguissa, who can individually change the outcome of the game. Cameroon will aim to take advantage of Mauritius’s defensive weaknesses and secure an important victory.

Probable Lineups

• Mauritius: Kiotti; Jean, Muto, Rose, Collard; Caliste, Latoushan, François, Villeneuve; Aristide, Ferre
• Cameroon: Onana; Tolo, Ngade-Ngadjuï, Bokélé, Tchatchoua; Anguissa, Baleba, N’Koudou; Mbeumo, Choupo-Moting, Aboubakar

Match Facts and Head-to-Head
