Angola and Burkina Faso round off their Africa Cup of Nations group-stage campaign with a meeting at the Charles Konan Banny Stadium on Tuesday. Having both all but guaranteed themselves a place in the knockout phase, the teams now set out to finish as group winners by coming out on top here.
Angola claimed a thrilling 3-2 victory over Al-Murabitun of Mauritania when the sides went head-to-head at Stade de la Paix on Saturday evening.
Consequently, the Black Sable antelopes have moved up to first place in Group D, level on points with Burkina Faso ahead of the meeting in Yamoussoukro. Unbeaten in seven of their last eight outings across all competitions, Burkina Faso have proven themselves to be a tough nut to crack of late.
Both Angola and Burkina Faso have given a good account of themselves over the opening two matches and will be full of confidence heading into this one. We are backing a share of the spoils with honours even at the end of the 90 minutes.
