Burkina Faso Vs Botswana – Stade de Août, Ouagadougou 2pm Local Time (5pm EAT)
The Zebras of Botswana stand in the way for Burkina Faso’s Stallions for a place at the 2017 Africa Nations Cup.
The Stallions host the Zebras targeting victory or at worst match Uganda Cranes result against Comoros to earn a ticket to Gabon.
The hosts lead Group D thanks to a superior head to head statistic against Uganda despite the two sides standing on 10 points after five qualification games.
Burkina Faso lost the first leg hosted in Francis Town last year and won’t only target maximum points but also avenge that shameful loss.
Jonathan Pitroipa, scorer of the only goal when the Burkinabe last played at home will be the go to man alongside the big Aristide Bance, Alain Traore and Bertrand Traore as well.
For the visitors, Joel Mogorosi will lead the hunt for goals that will see Botswana end the campaign on a winning note despite having no chance of qualification.
Group D table
Burkina Faso 10pts
Uganda 10pts
Botswana 6 pts
Comoros 3pts
