Burkina Faso vs Equatorial Guinea: Preview
Burkina Faso has enjoyed a solid record in recent years at AFCON, finishing in fourth place in 2021.
They were, however, eliminated at the Round of 16 in 2023, beaten 2-1 by Mali.
Manager Traore has opted for a 25-man squad, combining experience with a new generation of young talent.
In defence, left-backs Abdoul Ayinde and Arsene Kouassi are both in line for their first Africa Cup of Nations appearances. Ayinde has enjoyed a decent rise with Belgian outfit Genk, while Kouassi has impressed in Ligue 1 with Lorient.
Equatorial Guinea coach Juan Micha has named three more players in his 28-strong squad for the tournament.
Among them are Saul Coco, who has impressed with Torino as of late, versatile right-back Carlos Akapo, and left-sided full-back Basilio Ndong.
Huddersfield defender Charles Ondo also earns a call-up, and a huge boost in attack is that Emilio Nsue, one of the country’s greatest ever players, returns too.
Finishing fourth in 2015 is the feat to aim for, having also been knocked out like Burkina Faso at the Round of 16 last time out in 2023.
FourFourTwo's prediction
Burkina Faso 1-1 Equatorial Guinea
