Ivory Coast and Burkina Faso have strong attacks that know how to score goals. I think there is value on BTTS in this one, the Elephants’ superior strike force to make the difference.

Key Stats - Goals Prevalent


  • Ivory Coast have scored in 6 of their last 7 matches.
  • Burkina Faso have scored 2+ goals in 5 of their last 6 matches.

HTH - Elephants Lead


These nations have a long history, the first clash coming in 1976. Ivory Coast lead 9-3 in the head to head alongside eight draws.

They last met in the 2024 African Nations Championship qualifiers, Burkina Faso getting through on penalties in the second round.

Ivory Coast Yet to Fire


Ivory Coast came to the Africa Cup of Nations after a successful World Cup qualifying campaign. They finished top of Group F, scoring 25 goals with none conceded.

Emerse Fae’s side dominated Mozambique in their opening game in Morocco, Amad Diallo scoring in a 1-0 win. Diallo scored against Cameroon but they were pegged back, Ghislain Konan’s own goal resulting in a 1-1 draw.

The Elephants were in deep trouble in their final group game, finding themselves 2-0 down against Gabon before half time. Jean-Philippe Krasso got a goal back before late strikes to Evann Guessand and Bazoumana Toure secured a 3-2 victory.

Ivory Coast Predicted Line Up & Team News


Burkina Faso (4-3-3) Yahia Fofana, Guela Doue, Odilon Kossounou, Evan Ndicka, Ghislain Konan; Franck Kessie, Ibrahim Sangare, Seko Fofana; Amad Diallo, Wilfried Zaha, Yan Diomande

Emerse Fae has a tough choice to make up front with Wilfried Zaha, Bazoumana Toure, Jean-Philippe Krasso and Evann Guessand all staking a claim.

Stallions Still Alive at AFCON


Burkina Faso won four straight games before AFCON and kept it going in their opening match.

The Stallions were down against 10 man Equatorial Guinea before added time goals to Georgi Minoungou and Edmond Tapsoba secured a dramatic 2-1 win.

Pierre Landry Kabore hit the woodwork in a 1-0 defeat to Algeria. They ended with 51% possession and 14-10 shots but were down 1.02-2.00 in expected goals.

Brama Traore’s side were involved in a shootout with Sudan for second spot in Group E. They had some luck in a 2-0 victory, their opponents missing a penalty in the first half.

Burkina Faso Predicted Line Up & Team News


Burkina Faso (4-3-3) Herve Koffi; Steeve Yago, Issoufou Dayo, Edmond Tapsoba, Arsene Kouassi; Gustavo Sangare, Ibrahim Blati Toure, Ismahila Ouedraogo; Bertrand Traore, Pierre Landry Kabore, Dango Ouattara

Goalkeeper Herve Koffi is doubtful due a thigh injury, Kilian Nikiema a chance to start between the sticks.

Verdict

Ivory Coast won 3-2 in their final group game and Burkina Faso have scored 13 goals in their previous six matches. I am backing BTTS in Marrakesh where the Elephants can come out on top.
