PREDICTION

Two years ago, Burkina Faso achieved the semi-finals of the Africa Cup of Nations before succumbing to eventual champions Senegal in the final four. The Stallions have arguably strengthened in terms of their personnel since then and aim to make another deep run in the competition. Their upcoming opponent is Mauritania, who managed a goalless draw against Tunisia in a recent friendly. Although a commendable result, Mauritania has scored just one goal in their last four matches, suggesting a low-scoring victory for Burkina Faso in this encounter.
