Burkina Faso Women Form

Burkina Faso were on the receiving end of a heavy defeat in their opening WAFCON fixture against Ivory Coast on Monday, losing 4-1.

The Ladies Stallions had 48% possession and six shots in the game, with two attempts on target.

Before that, Burkina Faso took on Mali in back-to-back friendly internationals at the beginning of June, drawing 0-0 and 2-2, respectively.

The Ladies Stallions have drawn three of their last five fixtures, with two defeats. They scored six goals and conceded ten.

Burkina Faso must find a way to improve after their poor performance in their previous fixture, but they will find the going tough against Tanzania, as their opponents started their campaign with a solid victory.

Tanzania Women Form

Tanzania had the perfect start to their 2026 Women's Africa Cup of Nations campaign when they pulled off a shock victory over South Africa on Monday, winning 2-1.

The Twiga Stars had 37% possession and ten shots in the match, with five attempts on target.

In June and July, Tanzania won 1-0 and drew 0-0 against Malawi, and drew 0-0 with Ghana before losing 2-1 to Nigeria in four internationals before the start of the tournament.

The Twiga Stars have won two of their last five fixtures, with two defeats and one draw. They scored four goals and conceded two.

Tanzania will start confidently after their latest victory and look to exploit the suspect defence of Burkina Faso to take a step closer to advancing to the knockout rounds at WAFCON.
