In the African zone, two remaining spots for the 2014 World Cup will be determined on Tuesday, with crucial matches between Egypt and Ghana, as well as Algeria and Burkina Faso.
In the clash between the Fennecs (Algeria) and the Stallions (Burkina Faso), Burkina Faso holds a slight advantage after winning 3-2 in the first leg in Ouagadougou. The Burkinabe team, led by coach Paul Put, is determined to secure qualification for the World Cup, which would be a historic achievement for the nation. Jonathan Pitroipa and his teammates aim to make history and are motivated by the opportunity to represent Burkina Faso on the global stage.
While acknowledging the challenge of playing in Blida, Algeria, Put emphasizes that both teams are eager to secure qualification and expects an intense and open match. He recognizes Algeria’s advantage, playing at home in front of their passionate fans, but emphasizes that in football, anything is possible. The Burkinabe team respects the skill and experience of the Algerian side, which has participated in three previous World Cups, but remains optimistic about their chances in the decisive match.
