Probable lineups Burkina Faso – Equatorial Guinea

Burkina Faso/@fasozine

Burkina Faso kicks off their Africa Cup of Nations (CAN 2025) campaign with a clash against Equatorial Guinea on Wednesday, December 24 at 12:30 GMT in Group E.

Finalists in 2013, the Stallions have often produced strong performances, but the ultimate prize has eluded them. They reached the semifinals in 2017 and 2021, but were knocked out in the Round of 16 in 2023.

Brama Traoré can rely on his attacking weapons Lassina Traoré and Dango Ouattara, as well as the experience of goalkeeper Hervé Koffi and Sunderland winger Bertrand Traoré.

Equatorial Guinea dreams of repeating their 2015 heroics, when they reached the last four for the first time in their history.

To do so, Juan Micha is counting on Emilio Nsue, the iconic captain who has netted 22 goals in 49 appearances for "Nzalang Nacional".

Probable lineups for Burkina Faso – Equatorial Guinea:

Burkina Faso: Koffi - I. Kaboré, Tapsoba, Dayo, Yago - Ouattara, Ki, Ouédraogo, Zougrana, L. Traoré - P. Kaboré.

Equatorial Guinea: Owono - Ndong, Akapo, Coco, Obiang - Salvador, Mascarell, Buyla - Ganet, Nsue, Miranda.
