Burundi vs Burkina Faso Prediction & Betting Tips - AFCON
by Daniel Ngulu | in AFCON Predictions
Burkina Faso will be sure to go into Match Day 4 of the 2025 AFCON qualifiers leading the standings in Group L. The Stallions will stay in Abidjan for their match against the Swallows of Burundi. Read on for our prediction of the match.
Burundi do not have capacity to host this game in Bujumbura and will take it in Ivory Coast. The Stade Felix Houphouët-Boigny is not too far from where they were hosted by Burkina Faso on Thursday.
They lost 4-1 in that match and will be hoping to rise here. Bienvenue Kanakimana’s early goal gave Burundi the lead in that game but they found themselves trailing 3-1 at half time.
It was, in the end, their second straight defeat in the group after earlier losing 1-0 to Senegal.
Burkina Faso opened a three-point lead at the summit of this group courtesy of the win against Burundi. That may, however, be slashed by the time they play, as Senegal are scheduled to face Malawi in the other group match.
There has been a marked improvement for the visitors in attack in recent matches. They scored seven times in the last two matches and will only be concerned at the difficulty to keep clean sheets.
In 10 straight matches ahead of this one, Burkina Faso failed to keep a clean sheet. They actually have just two in their last 15 matches but in that run, they only failed to score once.
In AFCON qualification, Burkina Faso are unbeaten in the last four matches and will come here very confident.

Our Burundi vs Burkina Faso Prediction
These two nations are distant, as far as the FIFA rankings are concerned. The higher ranked Burkina Faso will rightly go into the game as favorites, having had a superior run. However, they haven’t done well defensively the same way they’ve done in attack.
Burundi, who have rarely gone without scoring, will see an opportunity here though they are on a poor run. We still expect them to at least hit the back of the net. Our prediction for Burundi v Burkina Faso is for both teams to score.
2 Goals Ahead Early Payout
More than 80 leagues and competitions are available on this football promotion from bet365. If the team that you have backed takes a two-goal lead at any point in the game, then your bet is a winner. This counts on both single bets and on multiple placed on the full time market, though of course on a multiple it is only the game in question that is marked as a winner, all the other selections still have to win as well.
A bet placed on any enhanced price is not valid for this offer, nor any bet that is cashed out. If you have partially chased out, the remainder of the stake is paid out as a winner. If your acca selection would have been a loser but for this offer then you will not gain any acca boost winnings. So for example, your team goes 2-0 up so you are paid out as a winner but the end result is 2-2, your bet is still a winner if all the other selections win but you do not gain any acca boost.
All tips are fully researched and given in good faith, but profits cannot be guaranteed.
