Key Stats
- Burkina Faso have lost only one of their last 14 World Cup qualifying matches (W8 D5).
- Burkina Faso have won five and drawn two of their last six World Cup qualifying matches in Burkina Faso.
- Burkina Faso have not failed to score in their last 16 World Cup qualifying matches.

- Egypt have won six and drawn one of their seven World Cup qualifying matches in the current campaign.
Burkina Faso vs Egypt Prediction
In their seven Group A matches, Burkina Faso have managed four victories with two draws and a loss. The Burkinabe’s have scored 19 goals in those seven matches and have turned themselves into one of the stronger teams in Africa, once again.
Egypt have a star studded attack that consists of both Mohamed Salah and Omar Marmoush, with the Pharaohs’ duo both scoring in a 2-0 defeat of Ethiopia the other day.
If Egypt can come out on top in this one at the Stade de 4 Aout in Ouagadougou in Burkina Faso then they will book their spot at the 2026 FIFA World Cup next summer.
The Egyptians are very strong but haven’t necessarily been as convincing at their best as Burkina Faso, and both teams scoring would appear a good bet for this one.
