Eswatini vs Burkina Faso – Second Africa Cup of Nations qualifier between Burkina Faso and Eswatini takes place on Tuesday at the FNB Stadium in Johannesburg. Both teams are off to a good start in qualifying and will be eager to build on that momentum going forward.
2-0 victory over Cape Verde at the Stade de Marrakech ended the threat to Burkina Faso on Friday. Hassane Bande and Dango Ouattara scored in the second half to lift Kamou Malo’s team to victory after a scoreless first half.
Consequently, Les Etalons have officially stopped losing after losing to Tunisia by a 1-0 scoreline in the AFCON quarterfinals last month. They’ve got a strong start to their qualifying campaign for next year’s Africa Cup of Nations, as the West Africans presently hold the top spot in their group.
The visitors, who have been thrashed 3-0 and 5-0 in their last two away games, will be looking to snap their road losing streak on Tuesday. Eswatini’s qualification campaign began with a 2-2 draw against Togo’s Sparrowhawks at the Stade de Kegue on Friday.
Both Meme Placca and Kodjo Laba struck twice to put Dominic Kunene’s side in the lead, but Sabelo Ndzinisa and Siboniso Ngwenya were also on target to earn a share of the spoils for the visitors.
Eswatini vs Burkina Faso – Betting Analysis
The Sihlangu Semnikati are currently in second place in Group B, but a win in their upcoming match will give them the opportunity to take the top spot. After falling to the visitors 8-1 in each of their previous two encounters, the home team will be looking for their first win in this series on Tuesday.
It’s possible that Eswatini’s Philani Mkhontfo, 27, may start this game after making a positive impact off the bench in the previous match. Sabelo Ndzinisa, a 30-year-old striker, has scored in three of his past four international appearances.
Edmond Tapsoba is a question mark for Tuesday’s game after being taken off with a slight injury in the first half of his team’s last outing. Hassane Bande is likely to start for Burkina Faso if Tapsoba is ruled out due to injury.
