Cameroon World Cup Betting Tip

Cameroon is trading at around 80/1 in the antepost betting markets. This is probably an under-valuation of the Lions, and one could expect those odds to drop during the World Cup, opening up the opportunity to trade on the betting exchanges. One notable aspect of Cameroonian play is the team’s excellent defence, which has a habit of keeping clean sheets. Look out for low-scoring matches against quality opposition, and clean sheets against teams of similar or lower quality.
