Ahead of Cameroun's 3-1 defeat to Germany in the FIFA Confederations Cup last Sunday, the Indomitable Lions might have taken encouragement from the fact that Germany coach Joachim Low had picked an unfamiliar team from his already experimental squad.

Coach Kwasi Appiah will attempt to make history against Mexico today with a new-look side from the one that walloped Ethiopia 5-0 in a recent AFCON 2019 qualifier in Kumasi.
