Match Result: Morocco

Let's have things straight, Burkina Faso are no pushovers but they're unquestionably going to have a tough match against Morocco. Morocco haven't lost for 18 matches with 14 wins to their name during that run. Burkina Faso have only managed two wins in their last five matches and suffered defeat last time out. The head to head record doesn't make great reading from their perspective either; they've lost two of the last three meetings and haven't beaten Morocco since 2013.

To keep a clean sheet: Morocco

Okay, so we've made the prediction that Morocco will win but there is plenty of evidence to suggest that they'll keep Burkina Faso at bay as well. For starters, Burkina Faso have only scored four goals in their last five away matches with three of those games ending with Burkina Faso blanking entirely. Then you have to factor in how good Morocco have looked defensively of late; they've not conceded for five matches and have only let three goals in across their last 10 fixtures. Finally, you've got the fact that Burkina Faso have failed to score on three of their last five visits to Morocco.

Anytime scorer: Youseff En-Nesyri

If you're someone that follows Spanish football then you will know all about Youseff En-Nesyri; you can bet the Burkina Faso defence will know about him too. Whether they can stop him is another question. The Sevilla forward averaged a goal every 128 minutes in La Liga as he produced a career high 18 goals. On top of that was another six in the Champions League from just eight appearances. What does it all mean? It means that En-Nesyri will come into this game knowing he can hit the back of the net.

Morocco vs Burkina Faso: Team Overview

Morocco

Our final prediction has touched on one of the big names – En-Nesryi – in the Morocco squad but he is far from the only one. You can instantly add En-Nesryi's Sevilla teammates Munir El Haddadi and Bono to the list whilst most of the footballing world will be aware of who Achraf Hakimi is given his transfer links to PSG and Chelsea. Talking of Chelsea, Hakim Ziyech is another name in the squad. As you can see, when you look at the players it is perhaps of little surprise that Morocco are unbeaten in 18 matches.

Burkina Faso

Burkina Faso will need to bring their A game to beat Morocco but they'll feel capable of doing so despite only winning two of their prior five. The fact is, a narrow loss to the Ivory Coast isn't a disgrace whilst a draw with Cameroon shouldn't be looked down on either. Where the squad is concerned, it is clear they don't have the wealth of individual talents like their opponents. That doesn't mean they don't have any though and Edmond Tapsoba of Bayer Leverkusen could have a huge role to play at the centre of defence. In an attacking sense, the Burkina Faso threat will come from Bertrand Traore and Ajax striker Lassina Traore.
