Cameroon coach Hugo Broos has predicted the opening match days will go a long way in determining how the World Cup qualifying ‘Group of Death’ involving Nigeria, Algeria and Zambia will shape up.
The Indomitable Lions have been the most successful African team at the World Cup having made seven appearances, but face a most daunting task to now qualify for a third straight World Cup in Russia.
‘This is the ’Group of Death’, it’s a very difficult group, especially with a team like Algeria, you also have Zambia and Nigeria, three very good teams,” Broos remarked.
“It will be very difficult for each team in the group.
“We will see what happens on the opening days in October and November.”
In October, Cameroon are away in Algeria, while Nigeria will be guests of Zambia.
In November, Nigeria welcome Algeria and Cameroon host Zambia.
