Ivory Coast had some success in four warm-up matches before the start of the 2026 Women's Africa Cup of Nations between June and July. They won 3-0 and drew 0-0 against Cape Verde, and lost 1-0 to Ghana before edging Mali 1-0.

Before those performances, Ivory Coast were in fine form. They beat Benin 2-1, Kenya 1-0, Mauritania 8-0, Turks & Caicos Islands 15-1, and Pakistan 2-0 between February and April this year.

Les Éléphantes have won three of their last five fixtures, with one defeat and one draw. They scored six goals and conceded one.

Ivory Coast have been performing well lately, having recorded eight victories in their last ten matches, giving them the advantage to beat Burkina Faso in their opening WAFCON Group B game.

Burkina Faso faced Mali in two friendly internationals last month in preparation for WAFCON, drawing 0-0 and 2-2, respectively.

Before that, Burkina Faso also struggled to win their matches. They lost 5-0 and drew 1-1 against Morocco, and lost 1-0 and drew 3-3 against Senegal between February and March.

Ladies Stallions have drawn four of their last five fixtures, including one defeat. They scored six goals and conceded seven.

Burkina Faso have not been at their best coming into this edition of the Women's Africa Cup of Nations, often drawing, which is not the ideal form to have when taking on an Ivory Coast side that has been scoring plenty of goals.
