Following Madagascar's 2-2 draw against Guinea in their Africa Cup of Nations opener, coach Nicolas Dupuis stressed his side won’t underestimate Burundi in their next Group B clash.
Despite the fact both teams are Afcon debutants and will be meeting each other for the first time ever in a competitive game, Madagascar will go into the game as favourites, owing to their superior Fifa ranking.
The Barea are curently ranked number 108 in the world, while Burundi are placed 134th in the global rankings.
Speaking to the media in the pre-match press conference, the French manager stated his side won’t underrate a team who narrowly lost 1-0 to Nigeria in the opening round of fixtures.
