Burundi took on Uganda in their last game and lost, coming in the African Nations Championship. In a 1-0 contest, a 90+1 additional-minute goal by Hakim Kiwanuka was enough to see their opponent take maximum points. In the meantime, Burundi have failed to win any of their last three matches, the first two against Senegal and Uganda. In fact, Burundi's last World Cup qualifier back in last June ended in a win over Seychelles. Ahead of this game, the home team has seven points already in this qualifier. Burundi scored eight goals in four matches and conceded six, as they sit third in Group F standings.
Ivory Coast
Ivory Coast are coming off an African Nations Championship encounter against Burkina Faso, which ended in a defeat on penalties. In the meantime, Ivory Coast's prior encounters with that defeat saw this team pick up consecutive victories, defeating Chad, Guinea, and Burkina Faso. In their last contest in this qualifier, this team played Kenya and settled for a goalless draw. Ahead of this game, Ivory Coast have ten points from a possible twelve in these qualifying matches. In four matches, Ivory Coast scored 12 goals and failed to concede any as they sit top of the Group F standings.

Expert Betting Tips
Ivory Coast have been impressive, and picking up a win over a side like Burundi should not be an issue. However, the home side has been impressive in this qualifier, and week in and week out, they have shown what they can offer. I feel this will be a tight game, both in attack and defense, as the two teams are expected to bring in their A-game. While I believe Ivory Coast will dominate this game, I still feel they will concede their first goal in this game.
Our first option is over 2 goals with odds at 1.65 on 1Xbet.
Our first option is both teams to score with odds at 3.40 on Bet365.
Our last option is a win for Ivory Coast and over 2.5 goals with odds at 2.38 on Betway.
