Cameroon were unable to make their dominance count against Zimbabwe on 10 September as the two teams played out a goalless draw at the Nelson Mandela National Stadium.

Despite enjoying over 60% of the possession, Rigobert Song's men failed to find the back of the net and could have easily walked away empty-handed had it not been for the heroics of Andre Onana.

With two wins and two draws to their name, the Indomitable Lions are now unbeaten in four World Cup and AFCON qualifiers since being eliminated by Nigeria at the end of January.

Sitting level on points at the top of Group J, Cameroon now have the opportunity to take sole possession of the group with two matches against Kenya three days apart.

Friday's hosts have historically fared well in this fixture, having not lost in four previous meetings, the last of which was a friendly 14 years ago.

After drawing 0-0 with Zimbabwe in their opening game, Kenya came from behind to defeat Namibia 2-1 at the Orlando Stadium in their second qualifier.

Engin Firat's men had their backs against the wall for much of the game, but came from behind through John Avire and Duke Abuya to claim all three points.

It was in keeping with the recent resurgence of the Harambee Stars, who are unbeaten in eight out of nine appearances in all competitions after ending 2023 on a sour note.

Kenya have also kept five clean sheets since the turn of the year and will need that defensive solidity to come to the fore when they take to the field on Friday.

The visitors on Friday currently have the best chance of making their first AFCON appearance since 2019, and will be keen to mark their return to the continental stage next year before co-hosting the 2027 tournament.

Bryan Mbeumo is in scintillating form at the moment, and the Brentford man - currently on a three-game scoring streak - will be looking to provide the goods for Cameroon.

Skipper Vincent Aboubakar is just three goals behind Roger Milla in second place on the hosts' all-time scoring charts behind the legendary Samuel Eto'o.

Eric Junior Dina Ebimbe will have to wait a little longer for his international debut, which is inching closer after the midfielder was named in his country's preliminary squad.

Kenya have been boosted by the return of captain Michael Olunga, who missed the first two qualifiers through injury.

Midfielder David Odeyo has been handed his first senior call-up, while the exclusion of Benson Omala remains the biggest talking point.

Onana; Nouhou, Wooh, Ngadeu, Tchatchoua; Baleba, Anguissa, Hongla; Bassogog, Aboubakar, Mbeumo
