Guinea-Bissau vs Burkina Faso

The former West Ham United attacker Luis Boa Morte currently leads Guinea-Bissau to five competitive matches resulting in one victory and three draws alongside one defeat. Burkina Faso also performs in Group A behind Sierra Leone by one goal but remains second in this group.

A successful four-game win streak of CAF’s 2026 FIFA World Cup qualification ended for Guinea-Bissau against Sierra Leone at the Samuel Kanyon Deo Sports Complex in Liberia. The team faced two first-half goals against their opponent before Tamble Monteiro scored but conceded another goal during additional playing time.

Although Burkina Faso prove to be a strong team across Africa during the last fifteen years they still haven't qualified for the FIFA World Cup and are unlikely to this time since they trail Egypt by five points in Group A. The respective sides from Djibouti took a crushing four-goal loss against Djibouti in their previous match.

This match will benefit Guinea-Bissau with home-field benefits yet Burkina Faso possesses striking prowess that makes both teams scoring a tempting wager.
The match between Guinea-Bissau and Sierra Leone played at Samuel Kanyon Doe Stadium in Paynesville, Liberia produced a 3-1 loss for Guinea-Bissau. Guinea-Bissau faced defeat to Sierra Leone with a 3-1 score in their Africa World Cup qualifier as Tamble Monteiro put away their single goal attempt.

Burkina Faso will face Guinea-Bissau on matchday six of the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers in CAF Group A, aiming to keep their momentum going. The clash at Estadio Nacional 24 de Setembro on Monday sees the home side, the Dromedaries, take on the visiting Stallions, with our prediction favoring an away victory.

After five rounds of action, Guinea-Bissau sits fourth in the group with six points, while Burkina Faso holds second place with eight points, trailing leaders Egypt by five. Only the group winners secure automatic qualification for the World Cup, while the four best runners-up advance to the second round.

Guinea-Bissau suffered a 3-1 defeat to Sierra Leone last week, marking their fourth consecutive loss. However, this was their first defeat in the current qualifying campaign, following a solid start with three draws and a win. Their strong defensive record has been a key factor, as they have managed to keep two clean sheets so far.

Meanwhile, Burkina Faso is coming off an emphatic 4-1 victory over Djibouti at home, securing their third win in four matches. With two wins and a draw from their last four outings, they remain in contention for a second-round spot. Their only setback in recent qualifiers was a 2-1 loss to Egypt away, but before that, they had claimed victory in three of their previous four away fixtures.
