Striker Jim Allevinah has a lot of speed and physical corpulence that make him a dangerous attacker in front of the attack, proof of this is that he already has two goals, the last of them achieved against the Moroccan national team.

Cyrille Bayala has the ability to find space in the end zone, but he also stands out for his mid-range shot that, if the game gets tight, a shot from his feet could make the difference; he has just scored against Ethiopia in the 1-1 draw.

Gabon has not known defeat in the championship and started off on the right foot by defeating Comoros 1-0; they then drew 1-1 with Ghana and came close to beating Morocco, but drew 2-2, reaching five points and securing second place in the sector.

Despite losing their opener against Cameroon, Burkina Faso managed to get back on track to win by the minimum difference against Cape Verde on the second matchday and, in their last match, they let the victory slip away but earned a point against Ethiopia to secure their ticket as group runners-up.

With the game between Burkina Faso and Gabon, the round of 16 of the Africa Cup of Nations gets underway with some very even and close games, starting with this one, which we will be covering.

The Burkina Faso vs Gabon match will be played at the Limbe Omnisport Stadium, in Limbe, Cameroon. The kick-off is scheduled at 11:00 am ET.
