Burkina Faso vs Central African Republic prediction

Burkina Faso looked devoid of quality going forward against Tanzania and paid the price with a 2-0 defeat. That loss leaves them with no choice but to take significant risks offensively in this next group game, knowing that anything other than victory would leave them on the brink of elimination. With only the top two advancing from a group of five, the pressure is on.

Central African Republic will be desperate to get underway at this point and their players are no doubt chomping at the bit to get on the pitch and make a big impact. They could benefit from Burkina Faso pushing bodies forward, particularly on the counter-attack and backing both teams to score appears a shrewd play.
