Cameroon vs Burkina Faso: Home team to win

Opening match of the tournament, with different expectations and conceptions. Will the host nation launch the competition with a win?

The host team will be playing in front of their home fans after a long time in this tournament. They already qualified for the world cup and they will hope to win this match to boost their morale towards other matches.

The Indomitable Lions have lost once in their nine matches and will hope to win against the away team.

Toni Conceicao's men must put in extra effort to defeat this away team.

Burkina Faso are coming strong into this match with a friendly match win against Gabon on Sunday.

Also, they are coming into this match after an unbeaten campaign to qualify for this tournament.

In their meetings in this tournament, they have drawn on three occasions.

We believe Cameroon have the home advantage against Burkina Faso, but one thing is for sure, this tournament has proven to be a tough competition and we hope Burkina Faso takes the fight to the home team.

Home advantage is what we are looking at here, so Cameron will not lose.
