In the international friendly that took place on Monday at Prince Moulay Abdellah Stadium between the two countries, Cape Verde and the Atlas Lions of Morocco fought to a scoreless draw. The Blue Sharks have a possibility of rising to the top of Group B, despite the fact that it would be based only on goal difference, as they are only three points behind Burkina Faso entering this weekend's encounter. Having gone undefeated in their previous five home matches in a row, the team that will be playing on Sunday will put their faith in themselves to secure another positive result in front of their fans and remove any uncertainty over their qualification status for the AFCON.
Burkina Faso - visiting team are in tearing form
The match between Burkina Faso and Togo at Stade de Kegue on March 28 ended in a 1-1 draw, preventing Burkina Faso from claiming their fifth consecutive victory across all competitions. Dango Ouattara gave the men coached by Hubert Velud the lead in scoring, but in the 26th minute, they allowed Kodjo Laba to tie the game with a goal of his own. As a consequence of this, Les Etalons have been victorious in their bid to advance to the group stage of the next AFCON. They established an unbeatable advantage over Eswatini in the competition for third place in their qualifying group, which made this possible. The following challenge is one that comes from a foe who hasn't scored in any of the past four games between the two teams despite having triumphed each of the first three times they faced off against them. Due to the fact that they have won only one of their previous five matches away from home, Burkina Faso will have to be at their best in order to take all three points here.
Cape Verde possible starting lineup:
Vozinha, Tavares, Stopira, Borges, Semedo, Cle, Paulo, Andrade, Tavares, Mendes, Teixeira
Burkina Faso possible starting lineup:
