Gabon vs Burkina Faso, Afcon 2017: How to watch live, prediction, betting odds and live streaming info

Gabon will take on Burkina Faso in the Group A clash of the 2017 African Cup of Nations (Afcon) at Stade de l'Amitié Sino, Libreville on 18 January, Wednesday.

The Panthers enter this fixture after settling for a point in the first match of the tournament against Guinea-Bissau. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is their star player and the Borussia Dortmund forward lived up to his reputation.

Aubameyang scored the first goal of the 2017 African Cup of Nations in the 52nd minute following an assist from Denis Bouanga. Gabon were close to clinching their first win in front of their home fans.

However, Levadiakos midfielder Zezinho's assist saw Juary Soares score the equaliser in the 90<sup>th minute for Guinea-Bissau. Jose Antonio Camacho will be disappointed to have settled for a draw after leading for the majority of the second half.

Gabon will be looking to bounce back when they face Burkina Faso on Wednesday. They also settled for a draw in their first match against Cameroon. Issoufou Dayo's goal helped Paulo Duarte's team seal a point.
