• Date: Thursday, November 14

Burkina Faso are set to host Senegal national football team for the upcoming Africa Cup of Nations Qualifiers Group L match. The two giants clashing should give us an intense match, with the top spot at stake.

Burkina Faso have ten points from three wins and a draw so far. Their unbeaten run is looking dangerous, and their jeweled attack is making things more cruel. They have won against every other opponent, except the forest game, where they drew against the upcoming opponents Senegal. 

Senegal national football team are also in the race in the same scenario. They have ten points from three wins and a draw too. The star-studded team has been too good on their opponents, except for Burkina Faso, with whom they drew. The only reason they are second is the goal difference, of a mere goal.

Key Players to Watch in Burkina Faso vs Senegal

Issoufou Dayo (Burkina Faso)

The centre-back captained the side to a victory against Burundi in the last game. He is expected to guard the fence again, like he has done for Burkina Faso in 77 games. His error-free tackles have been one of the key factors for the side to top the league as of now. He needs to be perfect in this game, as he will face the most pacy attack in all of Africa in this game probably.

Sadio Mané (Senegal)

The star winger has scored three goals in the last four qualifiers. He has been one of Senegal’s lone warriors in the past decade, and still continues to be the main man upfront. He has 45 goals and 26 assists in the 109 games he has played to date.

Mane has been terrific for Al Nassr FC  in the Saudi Pro League this season too, having eight goal contributions in ten games. He even has a goal in the AFC Champions League 2024-25. A brace in this game will make the team members go gaga. His nation will be proud if he touches 50 goals this international break.

Burkina Faso vs Senegal Prediction

Burkina Faso are expected to win this one by the closest of scorelines, and shock the star-studded Senegal side. They have displayed a stronger attack, and playing at home will give them the added advantage. Senegal however are expected to go all-out for a win, but might slander or bottle.
