    South Africa vs Cameroon: prediction & preview

    World · Africa Cup of Nations · Sun, 4 Jan 2026

    South Africa meet Cameroon in the World, Africa Cup of Nations on 4 January 2026 at 20:00 (Africa/Lagos). The recorded score is 1–2.

    On the 1X2 market the shortest price is Cameroon at 2.55. Once the bookmaker margin is removed, that outcome carries about 37.3% of the implied chance, with the other two outcomes sharing the rest. A short price means the market rates that side more likely. It is not a certainty, and the margin means the three raw probabilities add up to more than 100% before they are scaled.

    The 2.5-goal line is priced shorter on Under 2.5 (1.48, about 63.7% after the margin). Both teams to score is shorter on No at 1.73.
