The Danger Zone: Who’s at Risk?
The bottom seven teams are trapped in a tense struggle, with every matchday having the potential to completely reshuffle the standings. Here’s where they stand:
10th - Victoria United (14 points, GD +5)
11th - Dynamo Douala (14 points, GD -3)
12th - PWD Bamenda (13 points, GD -2)
13th - Union Douala (11 points, GD -7)
14th - Aigle Moungo (10 points, GD -4)
15th - Fortuna Mfou (10 points, GD -7)
16th - Yong Sports Academy (8 points, GD -6)
Who Has the Best Chance to Escape?
Victoria United: The Best of the Rest?
Despite sitting just above the drop zone, Victoria United has a positive goal difference (+5)—a rare statistic for a team in the bottom half. Their 19 goals scored show attacking intent, but their 14 conceded means defensive frailties remain. If they can tighten up at the back, they stand the best chance of avoiding the drop.
Dynamo Douala: Struggling for Consistency
Dynamo has as many points as Victoria United but suffers from a -3 goal difference due to a lackluster attack (10 goals scored in 12 games). If they fail to sharpen their offensive edge, their battle could become an uphill struggle.
PWD Bamenda: One Step Forward, One Step Back
Bamenda has been inconsistent, but their -2 goal difference suggests they are slightly better defensively than some of their relegation rivals. A solid run of form could see them move into mid-table safety.
The Teams in Real Danger
Union Douala: A Historic Club in Trouble
With 11 points and a -7 goal difference, Union Douala is in serious trouble. One of Cameroon’s most storied clubs, their attack has been subpar, and their defense has leaked goals. A turnaround is needed fast.
Aigle Moungo & Fortuna Mfou: Two Teams, One Fate?
Both teams sit on 10 points, with Aigle having a slightly better goal difference. They have the lowest win percentages in the league and will need to pick up crucial points against direct relegation rivals.
Yong Sports Academy: The Bottom Club, But Not Hopeless
Despite sitting in last place with 8 points, YOSA has scored 20 goals, showing they have attacking potential. Their major issue is their 26 goals conceded—the worst defense in the league. If they can fix their defensive woes, they have a chance to climb out of trouble.
Final Verdict: Who Will Survive?
Victoria United looks the safest due to their superior goal difference and scoring ability.
Dynamo and PWD Bamenda have work to do but have a decent shot at staying up if they can find consistency.
Union Douala, Aigle Moungo, and Fortuna Mfou must improve fast or risk slipping deeper into trouble.
Yong Sports Academy needs a miracle—but if they fix their defense, their goal-scoring ability could save them.
With only a few points separating safety from doom, the fight for survival will be fierce. Who has the grit to stay up? The coming matchdays will decide their fate.
