Nigeria will be the overwhelming favorites to lift the Africa Cup of Nations trophy, as Burkina Faso look to complete their dream run with a victory in the final.
Burkina Faso will win their first ever AFCON title, with the country's Belgian coach Paul Put relishing the underdog status.
"We are facing the biggest football nation in Africa with a lot of top players," Put told reporters. "Nigeria are favorites, we're underdogs, it's already a victory to get to the final, now we'll see what happens tomorrow (Sunday).
"We've got quality players and we'll play to our maximum with no regret, and hopefully have a bit of luck. We've got nothing to lose and everything to win -- we'll play without any pressure."
The last time the two teams met, it ended 1-1 in the first round of the tournament. Put believes his side have improved a lot since that meeting.
"We've seen big progress by Nigeria since our meeting, but also in Burkina Faso, in terms of maturity," Put added. "No one thought we could make the final, even if Nigeria are favourites they have to prove it on the pitch."
Nigeria coach Stephen Keshi might have to do without one of their best players in Victor Moses, who is a major doubt through injury. Keshi, though, believes he has a strong enough squad to be able to compensate for the loss of the Chelsea forward, if he cannot pass a fitness test.
"We are not one hundred percent sure if he (Moses) is definitely out," Keshi told reporters. "We'll probably know more by tomorrow (Sunday) morning.
"But there is a lot of improvement but if he's not going to be there tomorrow, well it doesn't matter. We have a 23 man team (squad). Somebody else has to pick up where he left (off)."
