Herve Koffi set to start as Burkina Faso prepare probable XI for Central African Republic

Burkina Faso are expected to use a 4-4-2 formation when they face the Central African Republic in their second match of the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers.

Herve Koffi is likely to keep his place in goal, with Issa Kabore, Nasser Djiga, Edmond Tapsoba and Arsene Kouassi set to form the defence in front of him.

Amir Abdou could select a four-man midfield of Rachid Kouda, Ismahila Ouedraogo, Bebel Cheikh Doumbia and Julien Bationo.

Landry Kabore and Ousseni Bouda are expected to lead the attack as the Etalons look to continue their qualifying campaign.
