All eyes are set on the FNB Stadium in Johannesburg this Sunday as the grand finale of the African Cup of Nations approaches its climax. The tournament, which began on January 19, will reach its pinnacle as Burkina Faso faces Nigeria at 6 p.m. GMT in the battle for the continental cup.
A quick analysis of the match suggests that the Super Eagles of Nigeria, a football powerhouse, are the favorites. Nigeria has already claimed victory in the CAN twice (1980 and 1994) and is participating in its seventh CAN final. On the contrary, Burkina Faso has only reached the semi-finals once in 1998.
Despite never having reached the final, the Stallions of Burkina Faso have displayed impressive performances throughout the competition. They will attempt to once again surprise football enthusiasts by clinching the trophy against the formidable Nigeria.
