Cameroon have looked very strong and boast the leading goal scorer in the tournament

While the tournament started with 24 teams, only eight are left in contention and half that number will return home after the matches this weekend are concluded.

Both teams are so far unbeaten in this tournament and have scored in each of their matches although Cameroon have scored five more goals than Gambia. They started out with a 2-1 win over Burkina Faso, hammered Ethiopia 4-1 and were held to a 1-1 draw by Cape Verde in the Group stage. They are now hoping to push their luck further as they seek a second Afcon title; 18 years after their heroic feat on home soil.Managers’ Words
