“Cameroon, one of the greatest nations in African and even world football, is the big favorite. I give my team a 20 per cent chance, the Gambian coach said.

“But we are used to it and since I took office, it has always been the case. We had to fight against stronger teams than us and we managed to get by.

“Against Cameroon, we will not be afraid, we will play to the fullest. It’s a bonus match.

“We visited Limbé, Bafoussam and now Douala, and we want to continue to Yaoundé,” he said.

“As in previous games, we will put all the assets on our side to pass.

“Cameroon will be accompanied by its fans; they are the ones under pressure.

“We will play our game with the firm intention of going through,” he said.
