Hosts looking to get back on track - but Burkina Faso looking to spoil their plans

As things stand, Group A is wide open. Gabon thought they had all three points in the bag from their opener against debutants Guinea Bissau, only to be dealt a major blow as the debutants struck back to snatch a late equalizer, much to the chagrin of the hosts. Meanwhile, Burkina Faso will arguably be the happier of the two sides heading into this contest, as they had to come from behind to earn a draw against Cameroon.

All four teams have one point and one goal each, meaning that this game will prove to be vital in deciding who possibly goes through and whose tournament ends early. The Panthers will be under additional pressure to get things right in this fixture, having dropped valuable points in their opener, and playing in front of their home fans will definitely give them that added impetus. However, Burkina Faso have proven to be a surprise package at AFCON tournaments. As noted before, they made an impressive run to the final back in 2013 and with Gabon failing to impress against the debutants, will be fancying their chances at causing some major problems on Wednesday evening.
