Burkina Faso vs Sierra Leone Prediction: The Stallions are expected to get it right this time

Burkina Faso will lock horns with Sierra Leone at the Marrakech Stadium on Monday. The Stallions have failed to win any of their last five matches, and a defeat here would mean they have won just a game since the beginning of this campaign. At the same time, Sierra Leone secured their first victory of the tournament against Djibouti. 

Burkina Faso

FIFA Ranking: 62nd

Last five games: DLLLL

The Stallions head here with another defeat away from home against Egypt, surrendering to a more superior team. Lassina Traore scored his seventh international goal against the Pharaohs to reduce the two goals deficit that was scored by Mohammed Trezeguet. Burkina Faso have won once, drawn a game, and lost once in this tournament. 

Brama Traore men possess enough qualities to be a top team; unfortunately, things have not been going on well for them lately. Burkina Faso have lost four and drawn once over their last five games in all competitions. 

Burkina Faso have a stern test ahead of their clash against the guests, and they must start racking up points to stand a chance of advancing from this group.

Sierra Leone

FIFA Ranking: 126th

Last five matches: DLLLW

The Leone Stars have had a slow start to their qualifying campaign but march here with a deserved (2-1) victory over Djibouti. After a stalemate at the break, Augustus Kargbo scored in the second half to earn his team their first victory of the competition. 

Amidu Karim, who just signed for the Leone Stars, has drawn once, won one, and lost two games since his appointment. 

They are still fourth on the table and have earned four points from a combined nine. Sierra Leone can still make it through if they get it right against their opponent and build from there. 

Expert Betting Tips

The Stallions have struggled since this tournament began, even though they’ve lost just once over their last three games. Burkina Faso have several options in the middle of the park but lack a proper striker. However, with Bertrand Traore and Stephen Ki on the pitch for the host, we expect them to win for 1.65.

Sierra Leone have not really been good away from home in recent games, and it will be tough for them to get anything away from this match; bet on a home halftime victory for 2.22.

This encounter is expected to produce more than two goals for 2.42.

Good luck!
