Ethiopia vs Burkina Faso Predictions


Burkina Faso were disappointing at home on Friday but are still favourites to win in Ethiopia. Given Ethiopia’s strong defensive record, and Burkina Faso’s failures in front of goal, I can see this ending level.

  • Ethiopia are unbeaten in 3 of their last 4 matches.
  • Ethiopia drew their last match at home.
  • Ethiopia have seen under 2.5 goals in their last 4 matches.
  • Burkina Faso drew at home in their last match.
  • Burkina Faso have seen under 2.5 goals in 4 of their last 5 matches.

Head to Head


Burkina Faso have won two of their last four matches against Ethiopia. There has been one draw and one Ethiopia victory. They last met during AFCON 2022 where the fixture ended 1-1.

Ethiopia Form


Ethiopia have lost just one of their last four matches in all competitions. That defeat came in their AFCON qualifying campaign against Egypt.

Prior to that defeat, Ethiopia defeated Guyana 1-0 in a friendly. In their World Cup qualifying opener, Ethiopia drew 0-0 at home against Sierra Leone.

It was a disappointing result for the hosts who really needed to get their campaign off to a winning start. Dropping points at home is never ideal, but they have another opportunity against Burkina Faso this week.

Ethiopia Injuries & Team News


There may be a couple of injury concerns in the Ethiopian camp this weekend. Fortunately, they are at home again, so they do not need to travel.

Burkina Faso Form


Burkina Faso will be concerned about their recent form. It will need vast improvement if they are to challenge for the top two positions in this group.

On Friday they drew 1-1 at home against Guinea-Bissau. While it isn’t a terrible result, Guinea-Bissaue are likely their biggest challengers in the group so dropping points at home isn’t ideal.

They can rectify that with three points in Ethiopia, but while the opposition may not be as strong, Ethiopia are certainly not gimme three points.

Burkina Faso Injuries & Team News


After a disappointing result, Burkina Faso are expected to make some changes in attacking positions. They provided very little going forward, which will be of concern.

Verdict

Burkina Faso are not scoring many goals and Ethiopia have a good defence. I fancy this to end level with a 1-1 scoreline.
