CAMEROON ANALYSIS
It's all change for the Cameroonians as well, as their star names are left out, for example Vincent Aboubakar and Karl Toko Ekambi. Andre Franck Zambo Anguissa also misses out on a start despite his decent performance in the semi final defeat to Egypt, but there should be some thrust and guile coming from the flanking number eights in the engine room; Pierre Kunde and Samuel Oum Goet who sandwich Jean Onana. Up top, Stephane Bahoken and Christian Bassogog lead the line, although Aboubakar, Ekambi, and former Tottenham striker Clinton N;Jie are all on the bench should the Cameroonians need a bit more bite.
18:10
BURKINA FASO ANALYSIS
It's 4-2-3-1 for Kamou Malo's side, with rotation from the defeat to Senegal in the semi-finals. Farid Ouedraogo is in net, and Issoufou Dayo is dropped in place of Soumaila Outtara alongside Edmond Tapsoba at centre-back. Issa Kabore keeps his place at right-back, as too does Yago on the other flank. Bertrand Traore obviously plays, but this time off the right rather than through the middle. Gustavo Sangare is behind Djibril Ouattara in attack, with Abdoul Tapsoba to the left.
