Belarus vs Burkina Faso: Prediction, facts, betting tips and head-to-head – June 9, 2026
On Tuesday, June 9, Belarus and Burkina Faso will meet in an international friendly, with kick-off scheduled for 18:30 CET. I have a betting recommendation for this match.
Belarus vs Burkina Faso: Match Preview
Belarus endured a disappointing 2026 World Cup qualifying campaign, collecting just two points in a group featuring Scotland, Denmark, and Greece. They finished bottom of the group and once again missed out on a place at the World Cup. Since then, the team have played several friendlies and won all three of them: 1–0 against Cyprus, 2–1 against Armenia, and an emphatic 4–1 victory over Syria a few days ago. Following this match against Burkina Faso, Belarus will turn their attention to the UEFA Nations League C campaign.
Burkina Faso finished second in their qualifying group, trailing only an outstanding Egypt side. However, they failed to advance to the qualification playoffs, as they ended fifth in the ranking of second-placed teams, while only the top four progressed to the next stage. At the Africa Cup of Nations, Burkina Faso advanced from the group stage with two victories but then suffered a heavy 3–0 defeat to Côte d’Ivoire in the first knockout round. Since then, they have played three friendly matches, recording one win, one draw, and one defeat.
