Union Douala enter the fixture under pressure, currently 15th in the standings with 16 points from 19 matches. Their recent 3-0 defeat to high-flying Gazelle FC in Matchday 19 highlighted ongoing struggles at both ends of the pitch. With a record of 4 wins, 4 draws, and 11 losses, and a goal difference of -12 (15 goals scored, 27 conceded), Union know they must bounce back fast.

Their recent form—just one win in their last five—shows inconsistency, but with home support behind them at the Reunification Stadium, the time has come for a determined response.

AS Fortuna Mfou come into this crucial clash with momentum on their side. Sitting 12th with 20 points from 19 games, they’re just outside the immediate danger zone—but not safe yet. Their thrilling 2-1 away win over Les Astres in Matchday 19, sealed by a late winner, speaks volumes about their fighting spirit and ability to perform under pressure.

With 6 wins, 2 draws, and 11 losses and a goal difference of -9 (18 goals for, 27 against), Fortuna’s record isn’t vastly different from their hosts. But their recent performances—two wins in their last five—could make all the difference in this tight battle for survival.

For Union Douala, it’s now or never. A win would not only lift spirits but also narrow the gap to safety. For Fortuna Mfou, another three points on the road could be a major step toward securing their Elite One status and dragging a direct rival further into the mire.

Can Union Douala find redemption in front of their fans, or will Fortuna's rising form push them closer to safety?
