In March, Togo contested two friendlies, drawing 2-2 with Guinea before edging Niger 1-0.

The Sparrowhawks have won two of their last five matches, with three draws. They scored nine goals and conceded four.

Togo will fancy their chances to start their Group I Africa Cup of Nations qualifying campaign against Burundi with a victory, as they are unbeaten in their last five fixtures.
