Egypt defeated Burkina Faso 2-1 at home in June 2024.

Burkina Faso Form

Burkina Faso are second in Group A for the World Cup qualifiers, five points behind Egypt in top spt. They have won four of their seven matches, losing once and drawing twice.

The five-point buffer for Egypt is significant given that only three games remain, however, if the hosts can win this game, it could be a tight finish in the final two fixtures.

On Friday, Burkina Faso made very light work of Djibouti, winning the match 6-0 away from home. They hardly had to break a sweat but were always huge favourites for the three points.

Egypt Form

Egypt are top of Group A and lead Burkina Faso by five points. With six wins and a draw from their seven games thus far, they are odds-on favourites for automatic qualification.

A point in this game will all but guarantee Egypt a spot at the 2026 FIFA World Cup, defeat, while not catastrophic, will put the pressure on them in the final two games.

On Friday night, Egypt were composed at home, beating Ethiopia 2-0. In fact, their last three qualifiers have seen them win to nil.

Verdict

Burkina Faso v Egypt

I am backing this game to end level with 1-1 a likely scoreline.
