Elite One fans have been awaiting high stakes fixtures this season, and this weekend delivers just that. The highly anticipated clash is set for 6:30 pm this Sunday at Yaounde’s Military stadium. In few hours Colombe of Dja et Lobo, sitting at the top of the table with 37 points will take on Gazelle FA of Garoua, in what promises to a thrilling encounter in the nation’s capital.
A high-stakes match
This Sunday’s match is more than decisive for both teams. Colombe du Sud must secure all to widen the gap as leader and should they win, Richard Towa team will reach 40 points, extending their lead over Gazelle to 7. For Gazelle, the stakes are also high. Sitting as second with 33 points, they can’t afford to go further behind and a win with coach Alioum Kada would fly them past Colombe winner of the 2024 Cameroon cup by a single point tightening the race.
An almost identical style of play
The two teams have displayed very much the same style since the start of the season, with favouring a compact defensive setup with quick transitions. However, Sunday’s match is likely to start slowly, with both teams sizing each other up.A breakthrough goal could change the dynamics forcing the trailing side to push forward while the leaders focus on preserving their advantage.
Gazelle can once again count on Serge Daura, their rising young striker who has made steady progress this season with 9 goals and 6 assists.
