Nigeria vs Burkina Faso Match Preview

Angela Asante, Jan 20th 2013

For the first time since their 2010 World Cup fixture against South Korea, the Super Eagles of Nigeria will engage in a major tournament match. They will take on Burkina Faso in their AFCON 2013 opener.

Analysis

Nigerian fans will not accept a slow start from their team even if it has been almost three years since the Super Eagles last appeared on a big stage. Stephen Keshi’s side are under intense pressure to deliver in South Africa but they possess great momentum.

The controversial exclusion of playmaker Peter Odemwingie for this tournament will be re-evaluated and judged based on Nigeria’s display. The Super Eagles, who drew blank in their 2013 Africa Cup of Nations warm-up match against debutants Cape Verde, could find it hard to break Burkina Faso’s goal line.

The Stallions crashed out of the last edition without a single point. However, they enter this year’s festival as a much improved side. Burkina Faso have secured a clean sheet in each of their last four international fixtures. Against Swaziland last Thursday, they finally discovered their goal scoring instinct as they claimed a 3-0 victory.

Upsets happen in every football tournament and Nigeria will hope to produce their best efforts before Burkina Faso run away with at least one precious point on Monday.
