AFCON Betting Tips | Burkina Faso vs Tunisia Prediction
Just a few days ago, we witnessed some top-class football action in the AFCON Round of 16, and we are already looking forward to the first quarter-finals that will take place this weekend.
One of them is an exciting game between Burkina Faso and Tunisia, two national selections that have met only four times so far. So, what do our AFCON betting tips have to say about this game, and who do they favour? Let’s get right to it.
Burkina Faso vs Tunisia Recent Form
Burkina Faso found themselves in Group A in AFCON qualifiers, together with the hosts, Cameroon. Even though they had one win, one draw, and one defeat in their three appearances, a tally of four points was enough to land them a second spot on the leaderboard and a place in the knockout stage.
The one defeat they suffered came at the hands of the Indomitable Lions, of course (2:1). The Stallions obtained a win against Cape Verde (0:1), and then they drew with Ethiopia (1:1). The team will be eager to obtain their third consecutive sport in the AFCON semi-finals, especially since the previous saw them advance to finals (they were second in 2013) and obtain third place (2017).
Tunisia, on the other hand, caused a major upset in their last game by eliminating prominent favourites Nigeria, who were undefeated in their campaign. They got to the knockout stage by finishing third in Group F after one win and two defeats. But, as we know, a win is all it takes to advance further in the Round of 16, and they managed to do just that.
Burkina Faso vs Tunisia Recent Matchups
While preparing our AFCON betting tips, we always take into account previous encounters of the two teams in question. Unfortunately, Burkina Faso and Tunisia haven’t met too many times on the international scene. As a matter of fact, they have clashed only four times.
Two of these games were in the AFCON qualifiers, and two were in the World Cup qualifiers. The former ended in 1:2 for Burkina Faso in 1998 (1:1 before penalties) and 2:0 for the same team in 2017. The latter were a 1:2 win for Burkina Faso again and a 0:0 draw, both in 2008.
