Group D of the Women’s Africa Cup of Nations 2026 closes its opening round with a direct clash between two sides that both opened with wins. Ghana beat Cape Verde 2-0, while Cameroon edged Mali 2-1, meaning this match carries real weight at the top of the table. A win here puts either side in a strong position to advance. What makes this fixture particularly interesting is that Ghana have kept three clean sheets in their last four matches, yet Cameroon have scored in every game they have played in 2026.
Keep an eye on Ghana’s Portia Boakye, who registered an assist in the last match and logged 85 passes in 90 minutes, making her one of the most active distributors in the squad. For Cameroon, Charlene Menene has been a constant threat in the final third and has drawn fouls consistently, which gives her side set-piece opportunities in dangerous areas.
Hot stat: Ghana have won four of their last five matches without conceding a single goal, which is a standout run for any team at this level of continental competition.

Ghana W vs Cameroon W Prediction
Ghana enter this match as clear favourites and the stats back that up. Their 4-3-3 setup has produced controlled, efficient performances, and their pass volume over recent games has been noticeably higher than Cameroon’s. Ghana averaged 422 passes in their last five matches compared to Cameroon’s 388, but more telling is the pass accuracy gap: Ghana completed 338 of those passes while Cameroon managed 288. That gap in possession quality matters when a team is trying to manage a match.
Cameroon have shown they can score, but their defensive record is shakier. They conceded three goals to Nigeria twice and lost to Algeria. Against a Ghana side that is well-organized at the back and efficient in front of goal, that vulnerability could be exposed. Ghana’s 75% winrate over the last 30 days against a Cameroon side that has played fewer matches and faced lighter opposition makes the home favourite tag well-earned here.
Cameroon commit more fouls on average (18 vs Ghana’s 16) and have picked up four yellow cards to Ghana’s one in recent outings. That discipline gap could become a factor in a tight match, especially if Cameroon need to chase the game in the second half.
- We predict a Ghana W Win at 1.88 as the primary bet.
- Under 2.5 goals is worth considering given Ghana’s recent defensive solidity and Cameroon’s inconsistent attack against quality opposition.
- Ghana Clean Sheet Yes is a strong secondary option based on the form data.

Team Analysis
Ghana have been in excellent shape heading into this tournament. They won three of their last four matches, with the only blemish being a draw against Tanzania, who ranked well below the quality they face here. Their most recent match, a 2-0 win over Cape Verde in the tournament opener, was a composed performance. Ghana’s attack was efficient without being reckless, and the defensive unit gave very little away. The 4-3-3 formation has given them good width and a solid midfield base, with Grace Asantewaa covering ground well and contributing defensively alongside her attacking duties.
Cameroon’s campaign opened with a 2-1 win over Mali, a result that flatters them slightly given Mali’s limited form. Before that, Cameroon beat Benin 3-1 in a match where they conceded more than they would have liked against a side ranked lower than most of their upcoming opponents. Their loss to Nigeria earlier in the year (1-3) is a reminder that when they face a well-organized team, they can be exposed. Genevieve Ngo Mbeleck and Colette Ndzana provide structure in midfield and defence respectively, but the team’s overall passing accuracy of 74% (288 completed from 388 attempted) is a concern when facing a side that presses and transitions quickly.

Pre-game Odds and Win Probability: Ghana W the Favourite
- Moneyline Ghana W 1.88 | Cameroon W 3.85
- Draw 3.10
- Over/Under Over 2.5 N/A | Under 2.5 N/A
Ghana at 1.88 reflects the bookmakers’ 48% win probability, which aligns well with the form and statistical picture. Cameroon at 3.85 is a long price, and to be honest, it looks accurate given their inconsistency against better-organized sides. The draw at 3.10 is interesting given neither team is particularly open, but Ghana’s attacking output over recent matches makes a stalemate less likely than the odds suggest. Ghana’s value at 1.88 is solid for a team with this kind of defensive record and home-tournament momentum.

Possible Starting Lineups
Ghana (w) Possible Starting Eleven
- GK: TBC
- DF: Portia Boakye, Anasthesia Achiaa, Evelyn Badu
- MF: Grace Asantewaa, Jennifer Cudjoe, Alice Kusi, Stella Nyamekye
- FW: Josephine Bonsu, Princella Adubea
Ghana are expected to line up in their familiar 4-3-3 shape. Portia Boakye is one of the most active players in the squad, logging 85 passes and an assist in her last appearance, and she will be key in building play from deep. Grace Asantewaa in midfield covers an enormous amount of ground and contributes in both phases. Josephine Bonsu, who played the full 90 minutes in the last match and registered four saves as a pressing presence, leads the forward line. Coach Yusif Basigi has a settled group and is unlikely to rotate heavily after a clean sheet win.
Cameroon (w) Possible Starting Eleven
- GK: TBC
- DF: Colette Ndzana
- MF: Monique Ngock, Genevieve Ngo Mbeleck
- FW: Michaela Abam, Charlene Menene
Cameroon typically deploy a 4-4-1-1 structure under Alain Djeumfa. Charlene Menene operates in the second striker role and has been the most active attacking player in recent data, drawing fouls and generating shots. Monique Ngock, who picked up a yellow card in the last match, provides creativity from midfield and registered an assist against Mali. Colette Ndzana is the defensive anchor at the back and will need a strong performance to keep Ghana’s forwards quiet. Cameroon’s limited player data from recent matches suggests rotation or squad depth concerns, which could work against them in a must-not-lose fixture.

TipsGG Match Prediction
Ghana (w) are the better-organized, more productive side based on everything the recent data shows. They outshoot Cameroon significantly (26 shots vs 17 in the latest match), win more free kicks, take more corners, and complete more passes. Their defensive record over the last month is outstanding, and Cameroon’s tendency to commit fouls and pick up cards could give Ghana set-piece chances at key moments.
Cameroon (w) have the tools to make this competitive, particularly through Menene and Ngock, but their passing accuracy and interception numbers suggest they will struggle to control extended spells of play. We predict a narrow Ghana (w) win, likely 1-0 or 2-0, with the clean sheet market offering genuine value alongside the match result.
