Do the guests have a chance? Senegal vs Burkina Faso Prediction
One of the fights of the first round of qualification for the African Cup of Nations will take place on Friday at the Me Abdoulaye Wade Arena, where the national team of Senegal will take on Burkina Faso. We offer a prediction for this match from a team of Dailysports experts.
Senegal
‘Lions of Teranga’ are considered one of the strongest on the African continent, but to prove it in practice in the framework of the Africa Cup of 2024, the national team of Senegal failed. Having defeated Gambia 3-0 in the opening round, Aliou Cisse's team had no problems with Cameroon (3-1). Guinea also failed to counter the Senegalese 2-0.
In the first round of the play-offs, Senegal crossed paths with Côte d'Ivoire and led until the 86th minute. After conceding from the penalty spot, the Lions of Teranga were unable to press their opponents in extra time and lost in the 11-metre shootout. In the World Cup qualifiers, Senegal are second in the standings, two points behind Sudan.
Burkina Faso
‘The Stallions’ were among the top four teams at the two previous continental tournaments, but this winter Burkina Faso ended their journey in the first round of the playoffs when they lost 1-2 to Mali. And let's be honest, Burkina Faso didn't impress in the group stage either. If not for the victory over Mauritania, the Stallions would have been left without a play-off.
Burkina Faso played four matches in the World Cup qualifiers and are currently in third place in Group A. The team is already five points away from Egypt, who are in first place, while Guinea-Bissau are one point ahead.
