Senegal who are ranked 18th in the World have been in fine form lately. The reigning African Champions reached the Round of 16 of the 2022 FIFA World Cup where they were eliminated by Senegal.

Also, they recently defeated 3rd FIFA Ranked Brazil 2-4 in an international friendly back in June. Cameroon on the other hand have been a shadow of themselves. The 2017 AFCON Champions are currently in a tough position in their 2023 AFCON qualifying group. Their match against Burundi next month is a must win match for them.
