AFCON holders Senegal are looking to continue their perfect start to their defence against Cameroon.
The Teranga Lions opened what they hope will be another successful Africa Cup of Nations campaign by making light work of The Gambia in their opening fixture.
Cameroon, meanwhile, were held to a draw by Guinea – putting major pressure on them heading into the clash between two of the powerhouses of African football.
Senegal are not thought to be carrying any fresh injury concerns and seem unlikely to make too changes, with Chelsea’s Nicolas Jackson expected to start on the bench again.
For Cameroon, they will be hoping star striker and captain Vincent Aboubakar will be able to feature after missing their opener due to an injury picked up in training. Manchester United goalkeeper Andre Onana could also start.
Senegal predicted XI: Mendy; Jakobs, Koulibaly, Niakhate, Diatta; Gueye, A Diallo, Camara; Mane, H Diallo, Sarr
Cameroon predicted XI: Onana; Yongwa, Wooh, Moukoudi, Castelletto; Anguissa, Kemen, Ntcham; Koudou, Ekambi, Magri
Doubts: Aboubakar
