Algeria - Burkina Faso: Form Analysis
Algeria came into the tournament carrying incredible form. They have won each of their last four matches, scoring two or more goals in each, and were unbeaten in their last 12 matches dating all the way back to March last year. However, their AFCON competition could have started a little better as they were held to a 1-1 draw by Angola on Monday evening. Baghdad Bounedjah gave The Greens an early lead, but Angola were awarded a penalty midway through the second half, which Mabululu stuck away, and Algeria were unable to find the go-ahead goal in the closing stages. Nevertheless, they would have taken many positives from that result as they dominated possession and had the lion’s share of chances with 16 shots at goal compared to Angola’s seven. Still, Algeria are the third-ranked side among African Nations and are the favourites in this one.
Meanwhile, Burkina Faso have been one of the most-improved teams in Africa over the last couple of years. They got their AFCON campaign started in the perfect way, as they secured a dramatic 1-0 win over Mauritania on Tuesday. Aston Villa midfielder Bertrand Traore scored the only goal from the penalty spot in stoppage time at the end of the match to give his side a crucial three points and set them atop the group standings. That result followed a 2-1 win over Congo DR in a warm-up match, while over their last five games in all competitions, Burkina Faso only suffered one defeat, which was against Iran in a friendly at the start of the month. The last two matches between these sides ended level, and based on the current group situation, The Stallions would likely be the happier with a share of the spoils in this one.

Algeria & Burkina Faso Squad Analysis
Stade Rennes forward Amine Gouiri pulled out of the Algerian squad a week before the competition, though Bounedjah has looked like a decent replacement at the top end of the pitch and should lead the line in this match as well. Riyad Mahrez has been in excellent form for Al Ahli this season, already on eight goals and seven assists, and the former Manchester City midfielder will be looking to open his account in the competition in this match.
Meanwhile, Bertrand Traore was flagged as an injury doubt for the first match and did not make the starting 11. However, having scored the crucial winner against Mauritania and having had another three days of rest, it will be interesting to see if the Villa player will play from the off in this one. Djibril Ouattara was also an injury doubt in that match but received minutes in the second half and could make the starting 11 here in place of Mohamed Konate.

Our Algeria vs Burkina Faso Prediction
Algeria did not get their tournament started exactly as they would have hoped, but their class is undeniable, and it’s difficult to see them not make the last 16 in a favourable group. Burkina Faso, though, have made a habit of pulling off results when needed, as they showed in their first match, and they cannot be ruled out of this contest. While we fancy The Greens to win this match, we will opt for the safety of our money back in the event of a draw. Our Algeria vs Burkina Faso prediction: Algeria Draw No Bet.
