·        Burkina Faso have only failed to score in their last 14 FIFA World Cup qualifying matches.

THE PREDICTION

Burkina Faso vs Guinea-Bissau

After reaching the final and two semi-finals in three of the last five Africa Cup of Nations tournaments, Burkina Faso will be looking to qualify for the FIFA World Cup for the first time ever. The Stallions come into this on the back of some inconsistent form, though, with a 2-1 defeat of Mauritania in a friendly last month ending a four-match winless run. They now face a Guinea-Bissau side that are generally improving with three victories in their last five matches, including a surprise defeat of Nigeria. They will be expected to frustrate their opposition, who are lacking a little fluency, and whilst Burkina Faso remain favourites, especially at home, it is expected to be a cagey affair.
