Team News

Burkina Faso
Mauritania
  • Aston Villa attacker Bertrand Traore should be Burkina Faso's only doubt ahead of their opener in Group D.
  • Mauritania should be without any injury concerns ahead of their AFCON opener.

Prediction

  • Burkina Faso have played two warm-up friendlies ahead of the Africa Cup of Nations. They lost narrowly to Iran before claiming a 2-1 win against DR Congo.
  • The Stallions made it to the semi-finals of this tournament two years ago, before losing out to eventual champions Senegal.
  • Burkina Faso have made it to the final four of the last two editions of the competition they have participated in (2021 and 2017).
  • Mauritania are set to to take part in only their third Africa Cup of Nations, having played in the last two editions of the tournament.
  • The Lions played out a respectable goalless draw in their pre-AFCON friendly with Tunisia last week, and were beaten narrowly the last time they face Burkina Faso, back in October.
