Africa-Press – Mozambique. <\/strong><\/span>Cameroon trained on Monday ahead of a decisive clash against Ivory Coast on Tuesday in a crucial World Cup qualifier.<\/p>\n

The winner between the two giants proceeds to the last round of qualifying for the Qatar World Cup.<\/p>\n

Ivory Coast currently leads Group D with 13 points from their five games, while Cameroon sit second with 12 points.<\/p>\n

Cameroon beat Malawi 4-0 in their last outing and are hopeful of overhauling the group leaders to take them closer to a place at Qatar 2022.<\/p>\n

“These are matches that every footballer dreams of playing,” said Cameroon player Moumi Ngamaleu.<\/p>\n

Patrice Beaumelle’s Ivory Coast only need a draw at the Japoma stadium in Douala to progress to the playoff stage.<\/p>\n

Two goals from Sebastien Haller led the Ivorians to a 2-1 victory in the first meeting with Cameroon in Abidjan on 6th September – ‘The Indomitable Lions’ only defeat so far.<\/p>\n

Malawi and Mozambique, the other protagonists in Group D will be playing only for pride on Tuesday. The southern African neighbors have lost four matches each. Malawi has 3 points thanks to a win against Mozambique in September.<\/p>\n

Mozambique’s only point came off a goalless draw against Ivory Coast.<\/p>\n

Elsewhere, Tunisia will be hoping for a win against Zambia to seal qualification in Group B. A different result hands Equatorial Guinea the ticket provided they win against Mauritania.<\/p>\n

And the Super Eagles will also proceed to the playoffs if they beat second-placed Cape Verde in Group C.<\/p>\n

They will be joining early ticket bookers Egypt, Ghana, Senegal, Algeria, DR Congo, Mali and Morocco.<\/p>\n

The 10 group winners from the second round of qualification play home-and-away ties in the third round, with the five victors from those two-legged matches progressing to the World Cup.<\/p>\n
