WAFCON: Burkina Faso vs Tanzania – Prediction & Betting Tips

Match Preview 

This year’s WAFCON tournament has already started off with some surprising results. Nigeria’s loss against Malawi and South Africa’s loss against Tanzania are just two of the most shocking moments thus far. But with two very different opening matches so far, how will Tanzania and Burkina Faso stack up in their second game? 

Burkina Faso didn’t get off to the best start this year. The team is likely hurt after their 4–1 loss to the Ivory Coast. After such a crushing loss, the team will need a miracle to bounce back and preserve their chances of making it to the knockout stages. It isn’t idea that they entered the tournament after a lengthy losing streak, sitting without a win for the last eight matches.  

Tanzania started off with a very different experience and couldn’t be feeling any stronger. They began their campaign with a 2–1 win against 2022 champions, Banyana Banyana, after Diana Msewa scored and broke the tie in the closing stages of the game. It was an unbelievable confidence booster for them, and they stand a chance to make history for their nation. A win for Tanzania will send them straight through to the knockout stages for the first time. 

On paper, this match result is a bit easier to predict. Burkina Faso are down on their luck and Tanzania have plenty to play for and will be wanting to capitalise on it as soon as possible.  

Head-to-Head 

These two teams have rarely faced off head-to-head, so the biggest predictor here is going to be their current form. And in that case, Tanzania is clearly in the lead, so expect that trend to continue.

Tanzania to Win 

Tanzania have already pulled off the biggest shock of the tournament, and they’ve got a historic entry into the knockout round dangling in front of them this time. Burkina Faso, meanwhile, are still nursing the bruises from a chaotic opening night, so Tanzania has a higher chance of taking the victory. 

Prediction 

It’s hard to ignore the facts. Burkina Faso has struggled lately, and Tanzania is simply showing stronger team strategy and offensive action. They have a bigger incentive and the momentum to carry them over the line. That doesn’t mean Burkina Faso will simply roll over and accept defeat. Expect a challenge. Place your bets on Bet.co.za.
