    "The question is how can we manage to gain the point we need. I think we have a team who isn't capable of doing that... so we're going to play as usual, we'll attack, we'll defend when it's time."

    Burkina Faso need a win to keep alive their hopes of reaching the next stage.

    Coach Paul Nuts isn't writing off his side's chances.

    "They play with a lot of physicality. But we also showed against Gabon that we are a good team. Against Equatorial Guinea in the first half too. We understand that it's a key game, we have to win to qualify. But I believe in my players. They're determined. We are looking for a result tomorrow."

    The seven previous contests have seen three wins each for Congo and Burkina Faso.

    This will be their first meeting at the Africa Cup of Nations.
