This tournament already has thrown up some surprises, none more so than ivory Coast playing awful and Egypt turning around a goal deficit to thrash Nigeria.
I dont know how many times punters can keep saying this but Cameroon should have enough here to fulfil their big name status and beat Gabon.
Cameroon come into this with a full squad and very little in the way of injuries to worry about. Mbia will miss out and Etoo has a niggle but apart from that, they are healthy and have recent head to head form on their side.
Both matches between these two ended in Cameroon wins and i dont see anything other than a cameroon win here. Paul Le Guen has done well to turn the team around after a shaky 2009 start, where they fell behind in world cup qualifying. I would argue that Gabon have been overachieving, taking good players and making them a very good team, so far we have not seen the big teams play good football yet but i think recent defeats to Cameroon will affect the mindset of Gabon and a win to nil looks very possible for Cameroon
Pick: Cameroon -1 1.8 @ BetFair
