Why you should back Mexico

El Tri was impressive in a win over Guatemala earlier this week. Mexico won by a 2-0 margin at Estadio de Mazatlan, with both Roberto de la Rosa and Raul Jimenez scoring goals in the victory. Now, Mexico turns its sights to this friendly against an unfamiliar opponent. Mexico does hold the 1-0 all-time mark against Cameroon, and El Tri have a tremendous keeper in Guillermo Ochoa.

The veteran has more than 130 appearances in goal for Mexico, and Mexico will be facing a Cameroon side that is weakened by absences. Vincent Aboubakar, Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting, and André-Frank Zambo Anguissa are not expected to appear, making things easier on paper for El Tri. See which team to pick here.

Why you should back Cameroon

Cameroon has some uncertainty in its squad availability for this match, but the team's talent level is apparent. Olivier Ntcham, Bryan Mbeumo, and Karl Toko Ekambi are proven at the highest levels. Cameroon also impressed near the end of its 2022 World Cup run, drawing with Serbia and famously beating Brazil

Cameroon hasn't been in its top form but, as evidenced by the betting line, projections view Cameroon as much more dangerous than the Guatemala team Mexico faced in its last outing. In addition, Mexico has been tinkering with its approach and could be vulnerable to a strong showing from Cameroon. See which team to pick here.
