Eswatini vs Burkina Faso: Top Free Betting Tips

This group ended up being one of the most interesting ones in the entire cycle of qualifications and this second round promises to be just as good.

Total Goals – Over 2.5

There is a huge difference between these two national teams in terms of class and abilities and this should be an easy match for the visitors. We expect a huge result in this match and possibly goals from both teams. In each case, Burkina Faso should be able to score three goals by themselves too. The last two times these national teams played was in 2013 and 2015 and these matches ended with 3:0 and 5:1 wins for Burkina Faso. While this was a long time ago, the levels of the two squads is the same.

Match Result – Burkina Faso

As the visitors, we expect to see some good odds for Burkina Faso despite them being the obvious favorite here. Burkina Faso are one of the top teams in Africa, being ranked at 10th place and 56th in the world overall. Eswatini, on the other hand, are down at 147th place in the world and 45th out of 54 national teams in Africa. They had some good performances recently but we think that Burkina Faso will win this group with a win in this match.

Both Teams To Score – Yes

Despite everything explained to date, we expect to see goals from both sides. Burkina Faso had no problems winning with 2:0 over Cape Verde in the first round but we were surprised to see Eswatini score twice against Togo. The team has not lost in five consecutive home games over the past 12 months and scored at least one goal in all five cases. In 3/5, they even went and scored two goals and even three.

Eswatini vs Burkina Faso: Form, Recent Games, and News

Eswatini Preview

As explained above, Eswatini are one of the lowest-ranked national teams in Africa and the expectations are for them to finish last in their group. The national team hasn't got a single player that performs in a strong European league or even a low-level league. In fact, there is almost no information for the majority of their players.

Burkina Faso Preview

As one of the stronger African national teams overall, Burkina Faso have a really good squad with players that perform at the top level of Europe. For example, Bertrand Traore is a forward for Aston Villa, Dango Ouattara plays for Lorient, Edmond Tapsoba is a defender for Bayer Leverkusen and a few other players had experience in Ajax in the Netherlands. Overall, this team has extreme potential.
