Guinea-Bissau
In their last match, Guinea-Bissau secured a 2-0 victory over Eswatini away from home. This win ended a three-match winless streak in the qualifiers (1 draw, 2 losses). The team is currently in third place in the group standings with 7 points, trailing behind Burkina Faso and Cape Verde. To keep their qualification hopes alive, Guinea-Bissau needs to win this match and rely on favorable outcomes in other group games.

- Guinea-Bissau has not conceded more than one goal in 90 minutes in their last five home games in this tournament.
- The scoreline has featured the number "1" in 4 of Guinea-Bissau's last 6 home matches in World Cup qualifiers.
Burkina Faso
Burkina Faso comes into this match after a 1-1 draw against Cape Verde at home. The team remains unbeaten in the qualifiers, with two wins and three draws. Burkina Faso is currently at the top of the group standings with 9 points, narrowly ahead of Cape Verde. A win in this match would significantly boost their chances of securing a spot in the 2026 World Cup.
- The team has not won in regular time in their last three away matches in World Cup qualifiers (2 draws, 1 loss).
- No more than two goals have been scored in 90 minutes in 4 of Burkina Faso's last 5 away games in this tournament.

Guinea-Bissau vs. Burkina Faso: Match Prediction
Guinea-Bissau has shown resilience at home, maintaining a solid defense in their recent matches. However, they face a tough challenge against group leaders Burkina Faso, who have been consistent throughout the qualifiers. While Guinea-Bissau will aim to capitalize on their home advantage, Burkina Faso's strong form makes them slight favorites.
Considering the defensive strengths of both teams, I do not expect a high-scoring affair. My prediction: Total under 2.5 goals
