Burkina Faso – Cameroon: the official compositions – Foot Mercato

For the match of the 3rd place of this African Cup of Nations, Burkina Faso and Cameroon find themselves, a meeting to follow live commented on Foot Mercato. The two selections had opened the tournament a month ago. During this meeting, it was Karl Toko Ekambi’s teammates who won 2-1 after being down 1-0 at halftime. After that, a big victory for the host country against Ethiopia (4-1) then a draw (1-1) against Cape Verde. The final phase of the men coached by António Conceição will have been more difficult to reach the semi-finals and finally lose against Egypt on penalties.

For its part, Burkina Faso will not have ceased to create surprise. Victory against Gabon (2-0) in the round of 16 then against Tunisia (1-0) in the quarters before losing against stronger Senegal of Sadio Mané at the gates of the final. Third in 2017, finalist in 2013, Burkina Faso have shown consistency with three semi-finals in five editions. Against the host country, the task looks tough but as in their first confrontation against the Indomitable Lions, the Stallions can cause them problems and why not win this bronze medal.
