Latest team news for Mauritius vs Cameroon
Mauritius coach Moullec has announced a 28-player squad, with the return of Kevin Bru along with two new signings, Leon Alizart and Mathieu Etrange.
The squad also includes Yannick Aristide, William Francois, Adrien Botlar, and forwards Cooper Legrand and Linley Rita.
On the Cameroon side, coach Marc Brys has called up 26 players, with captain Vincent Aboubakar – despite currently not having a club – remaining the main attacking threat and the top scorer in the qualifiers with 4 goals. He is supported by Bryan Mbeumo of Brentford, who has provided 2 assists.
Levante striker Karl Etta Eyong has been called up to the national team for the first time after scoring four goals in La Liga, while defender Junior Tchamadeu returns to the starting lineup.
However, the absence of central defenders Christopher Wooh and Enzo Boyomo created gaps in the back line.
Cameroon's midfield remains strong with Andre-Frank Zambo Anguissa (Napoli) starting alongside Carlos Baleba and Martin Hongla, while the goalkeeping position will most likely be occupied by Andre Onana – who will start in place of Devis Epassi and Simon Omossola.

Latest football match prediction: Mauritius vs Cameroon
Mauritius is currently second to last in Group D with only 5 points after 8 matches, officially having no chance of qualifying for the World Cup.
This team has only had one win – a 2-1 victory against Eswatini in June 2024 – along with two draws and five defeats.
Guillaume Moullec's team has only scored 7 goals but has conceded 15, showing their struggles in both attack and defense. In fact, Mauritius has not won in their last 10 matches in all competitions, and their head-to-head record is even more dismal, having lost all 5 previous encounters with Cameroon.
On the opposing side, the "Indomitable Lions" of Cameroon currently sit second in the group with 15 points, 4 points behind group leader Cape Verde.
Coach Marc Brys's team understands that a loss in this match would virtually extinguish their hopes of finishing top of the group, leaving them with only the option of qualifying for the play-offs.
Cameroon's only defeat in this qualifying round came from their most recent encounter – a 0-1 loss to Cape Verde at Yaounde after a goal from Dailon Livramento. That result puts them under immense pressure in their final two matches.
Despite having the strongest attack in the group with 15 goals, Cameroon still needs to be wary of recent inconsistency. However, Mauritius' failure to keep a clean sheet in six consecutive matches gives the visitors added confidence in their attacking prowess.
The five-time African champions are aiming for their ninth World Cup qualification. They are currently among the best-performing second-placed teams in their group, but their top priority remains direct qualification by winning both of their remaining matches.
