Burundi vs Cameroon: AFCON Qualifiers Live Stream, Schedule, Fixture and Probable LineupsCameroon will kick-start their 2023 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying campaign on Thursday when they travel to face Burundi. The match at the Benjamin Mkapa National Stadium will be the second game for the hosts while Cameroon will be playing its first match in the qualifiers. In the opening fixture, Burundi were not able to start with all three points, as they had to settle for a draw at Namibia. As far as the FIFA rankings are concerned, Cameroon are way ahead at 37, compared to Burundi’s 139. On Thursday, Cameroon have to be the heavy favourites against the lower-ranked African side.

(AFP via Getty Images)Ivory Coast vs Sierra Leone team newsIvory Coast remain without goalkeeper Sylvain Gbohouo, who was expected to be their first-choice at the AFCON but was suspended by Fifa on the eve of the tournament over an alleged doping violation. Crystal Palace star Wilfried Zaha and Arsenal winger Nicolas Pepe were both left out of the starting lineup for the opening game and face a battle to displace Maxwell Cornet and Gradel. Ivory Coast vs Sierra Leone predictionIvory Coast were far from the only heavyweights to make hard work of their opener but their quality should shine through. Defeat by a narrow margin would hardly be a disaster for Sierra Leone either after their point against Algeria.
The visitors will also take a lot of pride from their last match, which was a World Cup qualifying fixture against Algeria. In the two-legged tie, Cameroon lost the home leg 1-0 but won the away fixture 2-1 to book their Qatar World Cup ticket based on away goals. They will take plenty of confidence from that fixture when kickstarting their 2023 AFCON qualifiers on Thursday. On the other hand, Burundi will be disappointed in not getting all three points against Namibia in their last match. Peter Shalulile’s 10th-minute goal gave Namibia the early opener.
Immediately after scoring the late equaliser, he was given the red card for getting two bookings. Hence the home side have to play without him for Thursday’s match. As a result, Blaise Bigirimana could make it into the squad for the upcoming clash. On the other hand, Cameroon possess a strong Starting XI, which could be led by Vincent Aboubakar and Toko Ekambi. Burundi possible line-up: Nahimana, Weymans, Nsabiyumva, Nduwarugira, Nizigiyimana, Amissi, Bigirimana, Amissi, Ntibazonkiza, Abdallah, Bigirimana Cameroon possible line-up: Onana, Castelletto, Oyongo, Ngadeu-Ngadjui, Tolo, Anguissa, Ngamaleu, Kunde, Gouet, Toko Ekambi, Aboubakar READ MORE – Nigeria vs Sierra Leone: AFCON Qualifiers Live Stream and Probable Lineups Burundi vs Cameroon Schedule and Fixture The 2023 Africa Cup of Nations Group C qualification match between Burundi and Cameroon will take place at the Benjamin Mkapa National Stadium and it will kick off at 06:30 pm IST on Thursday.
Ivory Coast vs Sierra Leone: Prediction, kick off time, TV, live stream, team news, h2h - AFCON preview todayThe Africa Cup of Nations group stage continues to ramp up this afternoon with Ivory Coast hoping to seal their spot in the last-16 against a buoyed Sierra Leone side. Among the tournament favourites, the Ivorians began their campaign with a 1-0 victory over Equatorial Guinea thanks to Max Gradel’s early strike in their opening match. With the top two certain to qualify, along with the four best third-placed teams, a second victory would secure smooth progression with a game to spare, but this should be no walkover. Sierra Leone faced a daunting task in their own opener as they faced defending champions Algeria, but they emerged with a famous goalless draw after frustrating the holders.
