Gabon Team News
Following his side’s strong performance in the 2-2 draw with Morocco last time out, we anticipate Neveu to choose a similar lineup on Sunday, which means Aaron-Salem Boupendza might lead the line once more.
Gabon, on the other hand, will be missing star striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, who has pulled out of the competition and returned to Arsenal due to a health issue.
Allevinah has performed admirably at the offensive end of the pitch in the absence of the 32-year-old striker, and the Clermont Foot player will aim to add to his two goals in the tournament.
Burkina Faso Team News
Burkina Faso enters the game with a clean bill of health and no suspension issues, giving Malo access to a full team for the first time.
Abdoul Tapsoba was an unused substitute in the game against Ethiopia last time out after an underwhelming performance in the first two games, but the Standard Liege midfielder might return on Sunday.
