Burkina Faso vs Senegal prediction: The visitors to get the win
Key stats
- Senegal are unbeaten in their last eight matches in all competitions.
- Burkina Faso have failed to win eight of their last eleven matches in all competitions.
- Senegal have won to nil in four of their last five matches.
Correct score prediction: Burkina Faso 0-2 Senegal
While these two teams drew earlier in the campaign, there is a gulf in class between the two squads and Senegal should have enough quality to reign supreme on Thursday night. The visitors have kept a clean sheet in every qualifier bar their first match against Burkina Faso but they should keep them out this time around.

- HOME: 3/4 (1.75) – 57.1%
- DRAW: 11/5 (3.20) – 31.3%
- AWAY: 17/5 (4.40) – 22.7%
*odds from Ladbrokes, subject to change

Burkina Faso preview: A chance for redemption
Burkina Faso may never get closer to an AFCON final again than they did in 2022 when they met Senegal in the semi-finals. Sadly for them, that match ended in bitter disappointment but this clash does at least give them an opportunity to get one over Senegal. Going into AFCON 25 as group winners but feel significant.

Senegal preview: Can they reclaim their crown?
Senegal will be among the favourites for AFCON 2025 regardless of what happens on Thursday night but going into the tournament with an unbeaten record in qualifying would be a signal to the rest of the continent that they are back to their best after falling flat at AFCON 2024. Has Mane got another big campaign in him?

Player to watch: Nicolas Jackson
While Sadio Mane is still the ‘face' of the Senegal national team, Nicolas Jackson is arguably becoming their most important player. The Chelsa striker is coming into this own and has scored six goals and provided three assists in the Premier League so far this season and the whole of Senegal will now be hoping that he can transfer that form to the national team.
