Burundi vs Chad: can Chad produce an incredible upset in this match?
Chad
In the return leg of the preliminary round of qualification for the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations, Burundi will face Chad on Tuesday, March 31, with kick-off set for 15:00 CET. I suggest a bet on this fixture.
Burundi vs Chad: match preview
Just a few days ago, these teams met in the first leg of the preliminary playoff round for the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers—a match that, in truth, has already decided the outcome of the tie.
Burundi left their opponents with no chance. They struck twice in the first half and added two more after the break. A 4–0 scoreline from the first leg leaves Chad with virtually no hope.
Burundi appear to have all but secured their place in the main qualification phase for the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations, which is set to begin in autumn 2027, running from September to November during international windows.
This gives Burundi another opportunity to reach Africa’s premier tournament. However, they will still need to make it count, as their previous attempts have not been successful. Their only appearance came in 2019, where they finished bottom of their group and failed to reach the knockout stage.
