Cameroon will play their second AFCON 2022 game against Ethiopia. The AFCON hosts were lucky to bag a narrow 2-1 victory against Burkina Faso in a match that did not have a goal in the second half. On the flip-side, Ethiopia lost to Cape Verde in the first game of the tournament. The North African country will be without defender Yared Baye who picked a red card after last man professional foul in the 12th minute against Cape Verde.

Our Top Free Predictions for Cameroon vs Ethiopia
This will be the second competitive encounter between Cameroon and Ethiopia. The last meeting was in January 2016, a match that ended 0-0. Our analysis for the best two picks for Cameroon vs Ethiopia are as follows:
Half-time Draw @ 3/2 (2.50)
Despite losing 1-0 in the first match of AFCON 2022, Ethiopia put up a spirited fight by sitting back in the second half with 10-men. The visitors managed to keep Cape Verde away from scoring in the second-half despite being outnumbered. We expect Ethiopia to fix things before this game and should be troublesome against Cameroon. The hosts were lucky to get a draw in the first match after a spirited performance in the first-half. Things could have changed in second-half but Cameroon’s struggling defence was a major highlight of that game.
Under 2.5 @ 4/5 (1.80)
Our second pick for Cameroon vs Ethiopia settles on fewer than three goals. The visitors were very defensive in the first game, a performance they should carry forward to this match. On the flip-side, Cameroon will have to find a quick fix to their breached defence in the first match if they are to contain ambitious Ethiopians who will look to win their first game of the tournament. We expect few goals to be scored in this game.
