Burundi have proven themselves to be one of the more entertaining sides in Africa as they now head in to what is a must-win qualifier against a poor Seychelles side this week.

Kick-off date/time: Tuesday 25th March, 2025: UK – 7:00pm / US ET – 3:00pm / US PT – 12:00pm

Key Stats

  • Burundi have won all the previous six international encounters between these teams, five of which were World Cup qualifying matches.
  • Burundi have won only two of their last nine World Cup qualifying matches (D3 L4).
  • The Seychelles have yet to win a World Cup qualifying match in 21 previous attempts (D2 L19).

Burundi vs Seychelles Prediction

Burundi, who are currently ranked 139th in the world according to FIFA, under the management of Patrick Sangwa Mayani. They come into this one on the back of a 1-0 loss at home to Ivory Coast at Stade d’Honneur in Morocco due to a 16th minute strike via Nice forward Evann Guessand.

Seychelles, on the other hand, are one of the weakest sides in Africa with no points collected from their opening five group stage matches, scoring just twice in the process. They were most recently beaten 3-0 by Gabon the other day due to a goal from Jim Allevinah as well as a Denis Bouanga brace.

Burundi are unlikely to get themselves ahead of both the aforementioned Ivorians and Gabon but they have a chance and will need to win here to ensure they remain ever so slightly in the hunt.
