On January 29, the match of the 1/4 finals of the African Cup of Nations will take place, in which the Gambia national team will play with the Cameroon national team. The forecast for this match is given by journalist and football scout Artur Petrosyan.
The Gambians distinguished themselves in the first four matches of the tournament by not conceding a single goal from the game. Only in the second round of the group stage they received the ball from the national team of Mali from the penalty spot, and all other matches were won with the same score 1-0, including with the national team of Guinea in the 1/8 finals. The team is quite daring and organized. They prefer to play in counterattacks, and like to hit the opponent's goal from afar.
The Cameroon national team left a depressing impression at the first stage of the playoffs in a match with the Comoros team (2:1), whose nominal defender played in goal, and she played almost the entire match in a numerical minority. In the end, the Cameroonians won with a big squeak. Although in the group stage they scored 7 points, scoring 7 goals in three matches.
Arter Petrosyan does not think that the Cameroon national team will play aggressively right away, fearing the opponent's counterattacks. According to the expert, the Gambians will not lose in the first 45 minutes.
