Burkina Faso vs Egypt: Prediction for the Match on September 09, 2025

Burkina Faso will welcome Egypt to Stade du 4-Aout in the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers on Tuesday. A victory here for the visitors guarantees them a top finish in Group A, while Burkina Faso will continue their fight for a second-place finish in Group A. The odds are in favor of the Egyptians, with Salah leading them to victory last week against Ethiopia. Burkina Faso also thrashed Djibouti last week by a 0-6 scoreline, and they will have a tough time against Egypt on Tuesday. Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available. 

Burkina Faso: Form and Statistics

FIFA World Ranking: #63

Burkina Faso had an amazing time in their last game against Djibouti. They took charge of the game from the first sound of the referee’s whistle to the last. Edmond Tapsoba got a first-half brace after already recording an assist in the 16th minute for Cyriaque Irie’s goal. The first half ended in a 0-4 victory, but that was not the end of it, as Dango Ouattara also got his own piece of the national cake with a brace in the second half. 

This victory put Burkina Faso five points clear of their closest rivals, Sierra Leone, with their second-place position not fully secured and with five games left to play in the league. The stakes are high for Burkina Faso, as a defeat here could mean that their hopes of reaching their first-ever World Cup through direct qualification will be dashed. 

Burkina Faso may be riding high on momentum, but they still carry the light burden of never defeating Egypt on their shoulders. The teams have locked horns six times in all competitions, with Egypt having an unbeaten record five wins and a draw.

Burkina Faso: Possible Lineup

Coach Traore will most likely field the same set of players that got the emphatic win against Djibouti. Mohamed Konate led the team's attack, with Issoufou Dayo leading the team from the central defence line. Edmond Tapsoba scored a brace in their last game against Djibouti, and his place cannot be taken in the defensive line.

🔖 Burkina Faso (4-5-1)

Herve Koffi— Rachid Ayinde, Edmond Tapsoba, Issoufou Dayo, Kabore, — Cyriaque Irie, Josue, — Ibrahim Blati Toure, Saidou Simpore, Dango Ouattara, — Mohamed Konate

👤 Head coach: Brama Traore 

Egypt: Form and Statistics

FIFA World Ranking: #34

Egypt will head into this game with momentum following their 2-0 victory against Ethiopia. The Pharaohs made it three consecutive wins in a row after their commanding victory last week. Penalties from Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah and Manchester City’s forward Omar Marmush were just enough to give all three points to Egypt, guaranteeing them a top-two finish in Group A. 

Hossam Hassan’s Egypt has been incredible all through the World Cup qualifiers, with six victories from the 7 qualifier games played, drawing just one, with an improved total of 16 goals scored and just two conceded. Their defense faces a tough task on Tuesday against Burkina Faso, who happens to be the team with the highest goals scored in Group A, win a joint total of 19 goals scored. Egypt is currently top of Group A, and a victory in this game solidifies their top-place finish in Group A regardless of the outcome of the remaining two games.

Egypt: Possible Lineup

Hossam Hassan will approach this game with the same formation and players who played against Ethiopia, albeit with caution defensively, as they go up against the highest scoring team in Group A. Egypt’s Manager, who is also the country’s current all-time scorer with 69 goals, might end up watching Salah equal and break his goal record as Salah’s goal against Ethiopia now leaves him at seven goals to matching Hossam Hassan’s record. 

🔖Egypt Potential Starting Lineup (4-3-3)

Mohamed El-Shenawy, — Mohamed Hany, Rami Rabia, Khaled Sobhi, Mohamed Hamdi — Zizo, Hamdy Fathy, Mahmoud Trezequet, — Mohamed Salah, Osama Faisal, Omar Marmoush.

👤Head coach: Hossam Hassan
