Burkina Faso vs Ethiopia Prediction & Betting Tips

Burkina Faso vs Ethiopia Preview

Burkina Faso will look to extend their unbeaten streak to seven matches when they return to action on Sunday. The hosts defeated Sierra Leone 1-0 in an underwhelming display that was good enough to help them bag the maximum points. The hosts are clear favourites to finish in second place because they are five points behind Egypt, who sit in first place and six points ahead of Sierra Leone, who are seated in third.

At home, Burkina Faso’s performances are underwhelming with one win, and three draws. However, they will aspire to remain unbeaten at home when they host Ethiopia. The hosts are unbeaten in three games against the visitors, winning two, and drawing one.

Meanwhile, Burkina Faso ended their run of successive defeats last Wednesday, when they defeated Guinea Bissau 1-0 in Addis Ababa. Ethiopia fought a good fight and their defensive resilience was rewarded with their first clean sheet in six matches. However, they won’t be making it to the mundial for all their good intentions, all thanks to several factors.

One of the factors is their poor away form in this qualifying campaign that includes two draws and two defeats. They scored one goal on the road, the lowest in Group A and conceded five, the second highest. Ethiopia will aim to finish on a high as they commence preparations for subsequent competitions.

Burkina Faso vs Ethiopia Prediction

Burkina Faso are heavy favourites to win this game because they are the better side of the two teams in this qualifying series. This pick is also backed by Burkina Faso’s dominance in recent head-to-head meetings between the two teams that includes two wins, and a draw in favour of the hosts.

Both nations are not expected to score because Burkina Faso failed to concede in their last three matches, and in two of their three meetings with Ethiopia. This tip is also backed by Ethiopia’s poor attacking returns on the road that includes one goal scored in four away matches.

Lastly, we anticipate over 2.5 goals because the head-to-head meetings between the two nations averaged 3 goals per game, while Burkina Faso’s last six matches averaged 2.8 goals per game.
