Draws Galore in H2H
In the last three games between Algeria and Burkina Faso, each one has ended level.
Unbeaten Algeria
Algeria currently top Group E ahead of Burkina Faso on goal difference after one match. Victory for either side here will confirm their progression to the next round.
The Desert Warriors are one of the form African sides coming into AFCON and comfortably qualified for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. In the recently completed Arab Cup, Algeria were knocked out on penalties in the quarter-final against Saudi Arabia.
In their opening game, Algeria were far too good for 10-man Sudan, winning the match 3-0. Riyan Mahrez scored a brace before Ibrahim Maza scored late on to secure the three points.
Five Wins in a Row for Burkina Faso
Burkina Faso were fortunate to come through their opening AFCON game with all three points, although they were the better side throughout.
In their opener against Equatorial Guinea, Burkina Faso failed to take their early opportunities, but they took control of the match when the opposition were reduced to 10-men in the 50th minute.
However, with opportunities being squandered, Equatorial Guinea took the lead in the 85th minute of the match. It took a dramatic injury time comeback to secure the points with Georgi Minoungou scoring in the 95th minute and Edmond Tapsoba in the 98th to take the three points.
Algeria vs Burkina Faso Team News & Possible Lineup
Algeria: Algeria have a fully fit squad coming into this game with some key players pulled off early in the win against Sudan.
Predicted Starting Lineup (4-1-3-2): Zidane; Belghali, Mandi, Bensebaini, Ait-Nouri; Boudaoui, Bennacer; Mahrez, Chaibi, Amoura; Bounedjah
Burkina Faso: There are no injury concerns for Burkina Faso, nor any suspensions. They could go in unchanged although Minoougou’s impact off the bench could see him start.
