Algeria vs Burkina Faso Prediction and Match Preview

Two times champion Algeria started off this AFCON season with an unexpected draw against Angola in their opening match. The team will play host to Burkina Faso, who has won their opening match this season.

• The Algerian side can rely on their recent recordings as the team follows a 14-match unbeaten streak across all competitions.
• Burkina Faso was winless in six of the past 10 matches across all competitions, but won their opening AFCON match against Mauritania.
• Do also note that the opening match of both teams this AFCON season had goals under 2.5 ft.

Algeria was expected to seal a victory in their opening match against Angola. The team scored an early goal in that match but failed to keep the lead till 90. A foul committed by Algeria inside the penalty box at 68^th ended the match in a draw. They will hope to seal their maiden win this season on Saturday.

Moving on, Algeria was unbeaten in nine of the past 10 home matches. Such a form will help them have some spirits to enter this match. On the other side, Burkina Faso has an unimpressive away form. They were winless in six of the past 10 road trips. By the looks of things, we expect a pleasant day for the local supporters on Saturday.

Recent Meetings

• The past four overall wins in the head to head tradition was evenly split, with two each for both teams.

• Three of the past four clashes between these two at this venue had goals under 2.5 ft.

Algeria vs Burkina Faso Prediction

Their latest clash at this venue was in November 2021, and the match ended in a highly competitive 2-2 draw. However, the current display of both teams looks different. The Algerian side has a stunning form, especially in the matches which they own the hosting advantage. Since Burkina Faso follows an unimpressive form on the road, our first tip will be Algeria to win.

Another thing to be noted is that the opening matches of both teams had goals under 2.5 ft. Their latest clashes at this venue were low-scoring. Knowing that Algeria has sealed a clean sheet victory in three of the past five matches, we have enough of reasons to suggest the under 2.5 goals and both teams to score no tip as the second pick.
