The defending Africa Cup of Nations champions were not convincing against a 10-man Ethiopia with whom they drew 1-1, before putting up a buoyant performance against Nigeria to also end that match 1-1.

Zambia and Nigeria have two points each, while Burkina Faso are on four and need only a point to advance to the quarter-finals of the tournament.

"In football you just have to be positive," Mayuka said. "I believe we will get the result we need against Burkina Faso. But we just have to win.

"It is just people who are talking about pressure but we are taking it easy and just a game at a time."

The Burkinabe registered an emphatic 4-0 victory against Ethiopia and the latter are not expected to upset the Nigerians on Tuesday when Group C concludes, whereas Zambia face an uphill battle.
