Belarus are coming off a 4–1 victory over Syria last week, a result that marked their third consecutive win and their fifth straight game without a defeat.
The hosts have had a solid track record in friendlies over the past year, winning six of their last seven non-competitive games. They also have a perfect record in 2026, having won all three games they've played this year.
There were no injured or suspended players in Friday's win against Syria, so coach Viktor Gancharenko has a fully-fit squad to choose from.
Captain Max Ebong, who is both the most-capped (55 appearances) and top scorer of the current team (five goals), will be looking to extend his total appearances and goals for the White Wings on Tuesday evening.
On the other hand, Burkina Faso have not been very consistent in recent months, having won only one of four games they've played this year (D1, L2).
The Stallions will be without Mohamed Ouedraogo for this game due to suspension. The SCR Altach defender was sent off in last Friday's 3-0 defeat to Russia for a foul.
Bayer Leverkusen defender Edmond Tapsoba, as well as Brentford midfielder Dango Outtara, who happens to be the leading scorer in the current squad (12 goals), will both be eager to inspire the visitors back to winning ways.
This will be the second encounter between these sides. They previously clashed in the King's Cup semi-finals in July 2017, with Belarus winning on penalties after a goalless draw.

Whispers Predicts: Belarus 2-1 Burkina Faso
At 23/20 (2.15), Burkina Faso are considered favourites by the bookmakers ahead of this skirmish.
However, the visitors' recent results do not inspire much confidence. Considering Belarus' winning streak, we fancy the hosts at 12/5 (3.40).
We have also established that both teams have been involved in their fair share of high-scoring games. On that note, over 2.5 total goals can be backed at 6/5 (2.20).
Also, given that Belarus kept only two clean sheets in their last 11 games across all competitions, Belarus & BTTS – Yes at 9/2 (5.50) could be worth a punt.
> Over 2.5 total goals at 6/5 (2.20) | Likelihood: Probable
> BTTS – Yes at 9/10 (1.90) | Likelihood: Probable
> Match result: Belarus at 12/5 (3.40) | Likelihood: Possible
> Belarus & BTTS – Yes at 9/2 (5.50) | Likelihood: Possible
> Correct Score: 2-1 at Odds TBA | Likelihood: Outsider
