Our Predictions
Burkina Faso are unbeaten in five qualifiers, have three away wins, and sit higher in the group. Oddsmakers also see them as big favorites with 1.44.
Most head-to-heads were tight, with only one going over 2.5. Both teams focus on defense—so expect a cagey match. Under 2.5 at 1.65 is solid value.
Burkina Faso rarely concedes, Sierra Leone sometimes fails to score. Recent matches suggest at least one side might blank—odds of 1.51 show strong support for 'No'.
