The Match

Preview

Sports Mole previews Sunday's African Nations Championship clash between Burkina Faso and Cameroon, including predictions, team news and possible lineups.

We say: Burkina Faso 0-2 Cameroon

Cameroon will head into the game seeking to restore some pride following their defeat against Egypt last time out. While Burkina Faso will be looking to leave the competition with something, they face the stern test of taking on a significantly-superior Cameroon side who will be backed by the home crowd support. We predict the Indomitable Lions will come away with the win in normal time and clinch the bronze medal. Read more.
