Equatorial Guinea vs Burkina Faso Predictions and Top Betting Tips

Equatorial Guinea vs Burkina Faso will be an interesting match between two fairly equal teams. Here are our predictions.

Total Goals Prediction: Under 2.5 Goals

While Burkina Faso are the higher-ranked national team, their performances have been disappointing over the past year. Equatorial Guinea, in turn, are having their best period in many years and their defense is quite solid right now. Burkina Faso have had serious problems scoring goals and we think that they will fail once again, even in a friendly.

Match Result Prediction: Equatorial Guinea to Win

Guinea have not lost a match in over a year, friendlies and official fixtures included. They have improved a lot and even beat teams like Tunisia in recent months. We think that their chances for a minimal win are quite high right now. Burkina Faso are having a bad period right now and have not been scoring a lot of goals overall.

Correct Score Prediction: 1-0 to Equatorial Guinea

We expect a match deprived of goals, based on the forms and styles of the two national teams in question. When we compare the Equatorial Guinea vs Burkina Faso line ups, we think that the visitors may have a slight advantage in strength but when it comes to form, the symbolic hosts are superior.

Equatorial Guinea vs Burkina Faso Team Previews

Equatorial Guinea Preview

Equatorial Guinea have been quite impressive in 2023. They are one of the most inactive national teams in Africa but they actually have not lost a match this year. That makes for three wins and a draw, with one of the wins being over the massive team of Tunisia. They also qualified for the Africa Cup of Nations, which is massive. This will be a great test for the team.

Burkina Faso Preview

Burkina Faso had some good moments in 2022 but 2023 has been quite a bad year for them. It is true that they had mostly qualified for ACN already in 2022, so they did not have to win at all costs. However, not getting a win at all is quite surprising and perhaps there are real problems in the national team.
