With a fair few players, playing the top european league's such as Manucho, much recognisable from his days at Manchester United. It would be fair to put Angola as possible outsiders for the tournament. Angola do have a decent frontline with Flavio and Djamal being the most notable, playing for Lierse and Porto respectively.
Burkina Faso on the other hand have failed to win a game on foreign soil in the African Cup of Nations. After their only victories came when hosting the comeptition in 1998. The player to watch for Burkina Faso is Alain Traore, who play's for Auxerre as a midfielder. The young 23 year old midfielder, boasts bags of potential and has being a key part of the Auxerre midfield. Burkina Faso also have player on English shores with Betrand Traore, the younger brother of Alain. However he is unknown as he plays in the Chelsea acadmey after being signed from Auxerre.
My Prediction: Angola 2-2 Burkina Faso
