Group F sharpens into focus on Sunday as defending champions Ivory Coast meet Cameroon in a heavyweight AFCON 2025 clash at the Stade de Marrakech. Both sides arrive on three points after narrow 1–0 opening wins, and victory here would all but secure a place in the knockout rounds.
AFRICA PICKS: Ivory Coast vs Cameroon – AFCON 2025 bets to bank on
Ivory Coast edged Mozambique with trademark control and defensive discipline, once again showing why they remain one of Africa’s most reliable tournament sides. Cameroon, five-time champions, were equally efficient against Gabon, leaning on structure, experience and moments of quality to get the job done.

The betting markets reflect the tension. Ivory Coast are slight favourites, but the short prices on Under 2.5 goals and BTTS “No” underline expectations of a tight, tactical contest. History also points in that direction, with previous AFCON meetings between these rivals often decided by fine margins.
Expect patience, physical battles and limited space rather than fireworks as two continental heavyweights test each other’s nerve.
