Guinea-Bissau will take on Burkina Faso today, March 24, 2025, at 4:00 PM GMT, as part of the CAF qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup.
This game in Group A is pivotal for both teams, who are vying for a top spot to enhance their chances of qualifying for the tournament in North America.
Guinea-Bissau, with 6 points from 5 matches, recently lost against Sierra Leone. Key players like Beto and Jorginho will be crucial for their attack. Burkina Faso, with 8 points, has been consistent, relying on midfield control from Bertrand Traoré and Dango Ouattara to create scoring opportunities.
This is their second encounter, following a 1-1 draw in November 2023, which adds an element of suspense. Fans can expect a closely contested match, with both teams eager to secure a victory to bolster their qualification prospects. The match will be at Estadio 24 de Setembro in Bissau, adding a home advantage for Guinea-Bissau.
Given the tight competition in Group A, a win could significantly boost either team’s position, especially with only the group winners guaranteed a World Cup spot and runners-up potentially facing further play-offs.
Prediction:
Guinea-Bissau 1-2 Burkina-Faso.
Burkina-Faso is expected to win by a slim margin given the quality of their key players and the results from their recent games.
