Sierra Leone vs Burkina Faso Prediction
Egypt have been excellent in Group A of CAF qualification for the 2026 FIFA World Cup with the Pharaohs sitting five points clear with two games to go, leaving Burkina Faso on 15 points in second and Sierra Leone a further three points behind as they both do battle to finish second and make the playoff spots in African qualifying.
Sierra Leone managed an important victory in their most recent outing, during the September international break, as they defeated Ethiopia by two goals to nil. Burkina Faso, on the other hand, managed to hold the aforementioned Egyptians to a goalless draw.
Sierra Leone will be very confident if they win this one as they face Djibouti next week, but the Burkinabe’s will set up to be difficult to beat to secure the point they need.
Sierra Leone vs Burkina Faso Tip: Double chance – Burkina Faso to win or draw & under 3.5 goals
