Burkina Faso is set to face Equatorial Guinea, with the former displaying impressive form lately. Winning their last four matches, Burkina Faso has been strong defensively, keeping three clean sheets. Although they missed the 2026 FIFA World Cup, their focus is on excelling at AFCON 2025, as evidenced by their recent wins in friendlies. On the other hand, Equatorial Guinea has struggled with inconsistency, failing to qualify for the World Cup and showing mixed results in recent friendlies. Burkina Faso is favored to secure a victory, potentially winning to nil.

Burkina Faso come into this fixture in good form and should have the quality to win the game. I am backing them to win with value on a win to nil.

Key Stats - In-form Burkina Faso


  • Burkina Faso have won their last 4 matches.
  • Burkina Faso have kept 3 clean sheets in their last 5 matches.
  • Burkina Faso have scored 3 goals in each of their last 3 matches.
  • Equatorial Guinea have lost 2 of their last 4 matches to nil.
  • Equatorial Guinea have failed to win 3 of their last 4 matches.

Burkina Faso Hold Slight Lead


These two nations have only met twice with Burkina Faso winning 1-0 in 2011 while the most recent encounter ended in a 0-0 stalemate in 2023.

Four Wins in a Row


Burkina Faso will be eager to make a statement at AFCON 2025 after failing to qualify for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

Burkina Faso ended their World Cup qualifying campaign with a 1-0 victory over Sierra Leone and a 3-1 success against Ethiopia. That was, however, not enough to see them leapfrog Egypt into the top spot in the group.

In November, Burkina Faso played two friendlies in preparation for AFCON They beat Niger 3-2 and Benin 3-0.

Inconsistency Has Cost Equatorial Guinea


Equatorial Guinea failed to qualify for the 2026 Fifa World Cup after a very average campaign. In October, they did beat Liberia in their final group game after losing to Tunisia in September.

Since the conclusion of the World Cup qualification round, Equatorial Guinea have played two friendly internationals. They beat Kenya 1-0 away and lost 2-0 at home to Madagascar in mid-November.
