The Zebras are confident of getting positive results against Burkina Faso in the Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers at Francistown Stadium on Saturday September 5.

Zebras’ head-coach, Peter Butler said in an interview that although Burkina Faso is a strong team with most of its players based overseas, he was confident his players will be able to match them. Butler noted that for the period they have been on training, players have responded well showing commitment to play for a win.

He added that during training they worked on their physical stability in order to be in a better position to match the strong Burkinabe players who are physically well built.

Having played against teams such as Senegal and Egypt whom they managed to match on the pitch, Butler said they are positive they would do the same against Burkina Faso. Concerning the new Francistown Stadium, which the team will be using for the first time, he said the players have adapted well, saying the pitch is the best. He said Batswana should be ready for a good game with positive results.

Team captain, Joel Mogorosi said they have managed to work hard together as team with the aim of fighting for positive results. Ends
