Cameroon face Kenya in an AFCON qualifier on Friday

Cameroon welcome Kenya to Japoma Stadium for a 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier on Friday. The hosts were last in action when they shared the spoils in a goalless draw away to Zimbabwe in the last international break in September.

Kenya, meanwhile, claimed maximum points in a 2-1 away win over Namibia in the AFCON qualifiers last month. They went ahead through John Avie's 57th-minute strike while Duke Abuya doubled the visitors' lead with 14 minutes left on the clock. Deon Hotto pulled one back for the hosts in the fourth minute of injury time.

The victory moved the Harambee Stars joint-top of Group J on four points from two games alongside Cameroon.

Cameroon vs Kenya Prediction

Cameroon are seeking to qualify for a sixth consecutive Africa Cup of Nations. The Indomitable Lions are unbeaten in their last four games, drawing and winning two games apiece. Marc Brys' side started their 2025 AFCON qualifiers with a narrow home win over Namibia last month and will relish a return to action in front of their fans.

Kenya, for their part, are aiming for a seventh appearance at the AFCON and first since 2017. The East Africans are the more in-form side but they have never won against their upcoming opponents and once again enter this game as heavy underdogs.

We are backing the home side to claim a narrow victory in addition to a clean sheet.

Prediction: Cameroon 1-0 Kenya
