Nigeria are expected to be crowned African football ings a third time Sunday by bringing the fairytale run of Burkina Faso to an end.
.
Man for man, the Super Eagles look stronger than the Stallions ahead of the title match at the 85 000- capacity Soccer Stadium in Soweto, a township the south-west outskirts of Johannesborg.
.
The team in green and white can also expect to enjoy a massive advantage in support with thousands of Nigerians working in the South African financial hub set to roar on the footballers they adore.
.
Nigeria boast an amazing consistent Cup of Nations record with 13 top-three finishes in 16 previous appearances while Burkina Faso arrived in South Africa last month desperate to end a 17-match run without a victory.
.
Stephen Keshi had this to say: '' What we have achieved so far will not help us come Sunday - the final is where you have to prove that you are the best team in Africa and worthy of the gold medals '', he stressed.
.
Burkina Faso's Bance had this to say: '' Paul is the difference between this year and last year '',
