Djibouti vs Burkina Faso Prediction
Djibouti are one of the weakest sides in Africa, and that has been shown in their qualification campaign thus far with just a point collected. Their most recent outing saw them dispatched by six goals to one against Ethiopia in mid-March, a few days after a 4-1 hammering at the hands of Burkina Faso.
Burkina Faso have an excellent squad by relative standards and they are expected to earn themselves a runner up spot in Group A, sitting five points behind Egypt. They had endured a difficult 18 months or so before their qualifying campaign, but they have lost just one of their six matches.
Djibouti do not even home advantage with this game being played in the neutral venue of Guinea-Bissau, and a comfortable Burkina Faso victory is to be expected for this one.
