CAMEROON VS GAMBIA
The indomitable
lions at least should record another win against another African football minnows
Gambia who are visiting Cameroon for their some sorts of pound of flesh in
their minds after they lost 0-1 at home to the indomitable lions earlier with
qualifying series. The Cameroonians have already qualified for the Tournament in
Gabon 2017 but will used they game to text some new players as the Cameroon coach
Volker Finke had decided to call up some fresh legs like the 27 years old Heats
FC midfielder Arnaud Djoum who was very much delighted with his call up despite
been eligible to play for Belgium following a stinct at the Belgian league. Though
players like Liverpool defender Joel Matip have constantly turned down a move fore
present his fatherland Cameroon in recent times despite featuring for the
African power house in 2010 and 2014 world cup with no clear reason Finke have
decide to leave out regulars Nicolas Nkoulou, Eyong Enoh, Alex Song, Aurelio Chedjou

SENEGAL VS NAMIBIA
The Terenga lions
of Senegal are another side to watch in the qualifiers not necessarily because
of any form of football crises in Senegal or for any spying deliberations but
to the fact that the likes of West Ham Cheick Kouyate, Crystal Palace left back
Pape N’diaye Souaré and the forward pairing of talent due of Liverpool new
signing Sadio Mane who moved from Southampton to join the Reds in the summer
and the talented Balde keita who will surely from a great attack for the Teranga
wins ahead of a home match with Namibia who got nothing to loose in defeat as they
lost in the first leg 2-0 as well with Mane the architect of that defeat earlier
in the qualifiers. The Terenga lion of Senegal possess an array of talent and
it will be interesting to see how they conform when they take on Namibia
