Burkina Faso and Togo will play each other for the first time this month in the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers at the neutral Stade de Marrakech in Morocco. With six points from two games, the Stallions have defeated Cape Verde (2-0) and Eswatini (3-1) to lead Group B. They have also won three consecutive friendlies since then.
To begin the 2023 calendar year on a positive note, the team led by Hubert Velud will attempt to capitalize on this momentum and extend their winning streak further. He has also called up a decent team. Bertrand Traore, a former player for Aston Villa and Chelsea, is the most well-known member of the group. Edmond Tapsoba, a star player for Bayer Leverkusen, has also been included in the group.
Dango Ouattara, a fit forward who has scored five goals in 12 games so far, will want to continue his scoring spree with Burkina Faso.
Prediction
So far in the qualifying campaign, Burkina Faso has won both games and scored five goals.
Togo, who haven’t played in the AFCON tournament since 2017, hasn’t won a game in a long time and hasn’t impressed.
Here, it should be easy for the Stallions to win.
Prediction: Togo beat Burkina Faso 2-0.
