Prediction: 2-1
Sierra Leone
Burkina Faso will be looking to put an end to their six-game winless run in all competitions when they take on Sierra Leone on Monday evening. Les Etalons failed to spoil Egypt’s party in Cairo, but they are still seen as favourites to beat Sierra Leone in front of home fans. Anyhow, their display in the second half against Egypt is giving fans a reason for optimism ahead of Monday’s clash. Sheriff Tiraspol forward Cedric Badolo could sneak into the starting XI after coming as a substitute in the last group game.
The Leone Stars, on the other hand, survived Djibouti in their last qualifier, but they will have a mountain to climb at Bamako. As Burkina Faso have turned Stade du 26 Mars into a real fortress, we believe that punters from all around the globe can find value in betting on the home side. There are no fresh injury worries in the away team.
Highlighted Team (Burkina Faso):
Burkina Faso are an African football team that is controlled by the Federation Burkinabe de Foot-Ball. They were playing under the name of Upper Volta until 1984 when they became Burkina Faso. Les Etlons (the Stallions) defeated Gabon in their first international game (5-4) and they recorded their biggest win one year later (Liberia 5-1).
Burkina Faso have yet to qualify for the World Cup finals, whilst they played an important role at the 2013 African Cup of Nations. By beating the likes of Togo and Ghana in the knockout stages the Stallions set up a meeting with Nigeria in the final of the tournament, but the Super Eagles eventually won the title. It has to be noted that Mba scored the winner for Nigeria in the title game.
Jonathan Pitroipa is probably the most notable footballer who played for Burkina Faso the former Rennes ace has 51 caps for the national team. Stade du 4-Aout, the venue that was opened in 1984, is regarded as Burkina Faso’s home ground.
