The Stallions to strike in round one
Heading into this match as favourites, Burkina Faso can continue their good form. They have suffered only one defeat in their last five, and that was against Iran in a friendly. They have performed well against other African nations.
The Stallions prepared well for this tournament with a 2-1 win over D.R. Congo. They had previously beaten their next opponent, Mauritania, in a friendly in 2023.
However, they head into this fixture winless in their last four, scoring just one goal. They have now gone over 300 minutes without finding the back of the net.
First-round ties are often close games, but Burkina Faso should have the edge to win this one.
Bet 1: Burkina Faso to win and under 2.5 goals @ 2.97 with Bet9ja
A narrow victory for the favourites
As mentioned earlier, AFCON first-round matches are normally tight affairs. With so much on the line, teams don’t want to go all out and lose their opener. If they do, qualifying for the knockout stage could be a struggle.
Burkina Faso got the edge over Mauritania in their recent head-to-head. With their opponents struggling to score of late, one goal from the favourites should be enough to see them through.
Burkina Faso qualified for AFCON by finishing at the top of their group. On paper, they are stronger than their first opponents. This is why our Burkina Faso vs Mauritania predictions piece supports the favourites.
Bet 2: Burkina Faso 1-0 correct score @ 4.75 with Bet9ja
First half goal should be enough for Burkina Faso
Although a close game is anticipated, Burkina Faso have the potential to score in the first half and control the match from there.
They managed to achieve exactly that in their recent friendly over D.R. Congo. The Leopards beat the Lions of Chinguetti 2-0 as recently as November 2023.
If Burkina Faso are stronger than D.R. Congo, who managed to comfortably beat Mauritania, we should be on to a winner with this tip.
With Mauritania’s struggle to find the net, a first half lead will worry them and knock their confidence. Burkina Faso are the favourites, but for a reason.
Bet 3: Burkina Faso HT/FT Result @ 2.68 with Bet9ja
Favourable final scores worth backing
Our final tip in our Burkina Faso vs Mauritania predictions piece is to spread our bets over a few multi-scores.
Burkina Faso should have the edge over their opponents. They have proven capable of scoring when it matters.
While we expect a close game, Burkina Faso had previously scored two when they last faced Mauritania. They could repeat that scoreline.
They rarely score more than two. Their three against Ethiopia marked the first time they managed that many in a game since their win over Eswatini 16 matches ago.
Although this tip adds an extra layer of protection, we still believe the favourites will start the tournament with a win.
Bet 4: Burkina Faso Multi-Score 1-0/2-0/2-1 @ 2.23 with Bet9ja
