We said: Cameroon 3-0 Mauritius
Cameroon have been handed one of the easier groups on paper, and we expect them to begin their qualification campaign with intent by securing a comfortable victory against Mauritius.
The visitors are one of the stronger bottom seeds in Africa and boast decent form in recent times, but they are unlikely to be a match for Song's side.
