Egypt vs Burkina Faso Prediction 06.06.2024

• Competition: WC Qualification
• Date: 06.06.2024
• Kickoff: 20:00 UTC +1 / 21:00 CEST
• Venue: Cairo International Stadium 

Egypt went through the first two rounds of qualification for the World Cup without any problem, scoring as many as 8 goals in total against Djibouti and Sierra Leone. There should be no problem for them to enter the second stage of the qualifications from the first position. Especially now that the best player of this national team, probably in history, Mohamed Salah is ready and on the list for the next matches. Perhaps the toughest rival of all in the group is Burkina Faso, the next rival.

Burkina Faso has achieved 1 win and 1 draw in the previous two matches and is currently in second place ahead of Guinea Bissau due to a better goal difference. That second place is important, because it provides a chance for placement in the next phase. Burkina Faso does not have any great results in the past and at the previous ACON they were eliminated in the 1/8 finals against Mali. They still don't have any participation in the World Cup

Egypt vs Burkina Faso pick: BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE

According to almost all parameters, Egypt is the better team and accordingly the favorite in this match in their stadium in front of 75 thousand people. However, on the African continent, we see a lot of surprising results in previous years, and Burkina Faso is one of the national teams that has been developing and that gave a lot of problems to the favorites. For example, 7 years ago they reached the semi-finals of ACON and lost on penalties against Egypt. Burkina Faso has scored at least 1 goal in 10 of their last 11 matches.

Egypt is a solid team, but they are prone to mistakes at times, so we expect both teams to score at least one goal each
